Again you need to post your thoughts & research. This is better suited in the student forum. We help & guide nursing students not do their work for them.

ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) is a good place to start. What did you do first, come here for answers or read your textbook?

First you take your own pulse.

Four current threads just stating the questions and expecting answers.

OP must think that she's stumbled into a magical universe of free homework help.

Well, can't really say "help" because that implies some effort on the part of the one who actually has home work assigned to her.

If you think this is an appropriate way to solicit help from experienced nurses... I can't wait to see you in clinicals :scrying: this sounds like a homework question if I ever heard one. If you want help ask, but don't quiz us on stuff we already know, we had to learn this once upon a time too. You need to take an active part in your learning, no one will pass the nclex for you. However... If you need help why don't you give us YOUR thoughts on this material and we can help guide you to the best answers... I would rather spend 20 minutes pushing someone to the right answer than spend two minutes and hand it over. You will not learn anything or remember anything if people hand it to you.

If if you have a patient suddenly collapse OP, what are the three assessments YOU would do. And what 3 nursing interventions would you make from this experience?

Welcome!

We are happy to help but we will not just give out the answers. It is very important to learn how to critically think and in giving you the answers we are not helping you to be the best you you can be.

I'm guessing OP already knows ABC? If you want specifics, there's a million scenarios that could turn out many different ways and there isn't enough information posted to go on. What are they admitted with, what meds have they received, etc..

Psst...it's CABs. ;) Think back to BLS. That should get you started.

ABCs CABs they're all done simultaneously as far as assessment goes, unless you need to go into CPR then yes compressions first. :)
