    HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The nurse is performing tracheostomy care for a client when a code blue is called for another client on the unit who experiences a cardiopulmonary arrest. Which action should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Completing the procedure would delay the nurse’s response to the emergency. B. Calling for an assistant allows the nurse to quickly respond to the emergency while ensuring that the tracheostomy care is not neglected. C. Responding to the code is the priority, but assistance should be called to ensure that other duties are attended to in the meantime. D. Closing the room door would isolate the situation but does not address the immediate need for assistance.
