a problem with a question

Hello everyone!

I was doing some practice questions and came across a strange question (below). you had to place the answers in the right order. the right answer is the following but I am confused. I thought that you always had to check the patient before the equipment whereas in this case it is the other way around. Any idea?

thanks!

The oncology client is using patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine for pain control. The client reports having pain and states it is a 7 (on a scale of 0 to 10). Indicate the correct sequence of nursing interventions by dragging and dropping the sentences into the correct order.

• Ensure the client is using the PCA equipment properly
  
  
• Confirm that there is power to the pump and the tubing is patent
  
  
• Assess the level of consciousness and respiratory status
  
  
• Check the chart for orders for treating breakthrough pain
  
  
• Consult with the health care provider
