―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse’s top priority at this time?

I r o Iro Iro
The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this patient’s
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is also driven
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
by patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but in this
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
situation, these data can wait until after the patient is assessed. Based also on Maslow’s
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the patient to
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro I r o
wait, the nurse needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to
I r o I r o I r o I r o Iro Iro Iro Iro I r o Iro Iro I r o I r o Iro
determine the patient’s health status.
I r o Iro Iro Iro Iro
Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the patient’s
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation at this time.
Iro I r o I r o I r o Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro I r o Iro
Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical history related to
I r o Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal or mental health assessment
Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro Iro
is not a priority at this time.
