Ati Questions

The document provides information on several nursing scenarios and questions about appropriate nursing interventions. The most vital consideration for a client with a newly applied leg cast is that elevation of the casted leg on a pillow will minimize edema and promote venous return. The primary goal for a client experiencing anxiety at the panic level is to reduce the client's immediate anxiety. The priority nursing action after a medication error occurred is to make out an incident report documenting the occurrence.
