evacuation during a fire. Which of the following
clients should the nurse evacuate first?
A. A client who is ambulatory and receiving oxygen.
B. A client who uses a wheelchair and is confused.
C. A client who is bedridden and wears a hearing
aid.
✓ D. A client who has a fracture and is in balance
suspension traction.
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: D. Using RACE principles, the client in balance
suspension traction cannot self-evacuate and requires special
equipment. They are the most dependent and highest priority for
evacuation planning. Ambulatory clients and those with hearing
aids can self-evacuate with direction.

Question 2 of 180
A nurse in the emergency department is assessing a client who has status asthmaticus. The
nurse should expect which of the following findings?
A. Increase in peak expiratory rate flow
B. Epigastric pain
✓ C. Distended neck veins
D. Bradycardia
Correct Answer & Rationale:
Answer: C. Status asthmaticus causes severe air trapping and increased intrathoracic pressure, which impedes
venous return and results in distended neck veins. Peak expiratory flow is decreased (not increased). Tachycardia,
not bradycardia, is expected.
