### 1.
A client who underwent cardiac stent placement 4 days ago arrives to
the emergency department reporting sudden onset chest pressure and
shortness of breath.
Which action should the nurse take next?
Answer Choices:
a. Administer prescribed nitroglycerin sublingually.
b. Obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and begin continuous
cardiac monitoring.
c. Give oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula.
d. Prepare the client for immediate cardiac catheterization.
ANSWER:
,b. Obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and begin continuous cardiac
monitoring.
Expert Rationale:
A client with sudden chest pressure and shortness of breath after recent
stenting is at high risk for acute stent thrombosis or myocardial infarction
(MI). Immediate acquisition of a 12-lead ECG is critical to assess for
ischemic changes and to prioritize timely reperfusion therapy if needed.
Continuous cardiac monitoring is essential to detect arrhythmias.
Although oxygen and nitroglycerin may be administered per protocol,
assessment data guides further interventions. Immediate preparation for
catheterization is
premature before diagnostic confirmation.
