    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The nurse is assigned to care for four surgical clients. After receiving report, which client should the nurse see first?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Continuous bladder irrigation postoperatively is a routine procedure and does not require immediate intervention unless there are complications. B. This client may be at risk for complications such as a transfusion reaction or hemorrhage. Close monitoring is required to ensure the client's vital signs are stable and there are no adverse reactions to the transfusion. C. A client requesting pain medication one day postoperative from a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, would follow as effective pain management is important for recovery, but this situation is not immediately life-threatening. D. While hip arthroplasty is a significant procedure, the client in traction is not in an acute postoperative state requiring immediate attention.
