Thank you for response. According to MOSBY, Nurse should call for help regardless of the reason. However, all we know is the fact that patient is unresponsive. How the priority changes if patient has Ps and breathing, and his unresponsiveness was caused by hypoglycemia? should the nurse ask for help first?
Guys, today we discussed with our colleague a question from MOSBY 2nd Ed. , p.42, question 134. We had the same answer that was different from the book. Mr X has been admitted to hospital with CHF. Nurse walks into his room and finds him unresponsive and cyanotic. What is the priority nursing action? a.call for help B. assess for breathing c. adm O2 d. assess for pulse what is your answer and rational?
