, 300+ Exam-Style Questions with Verified Answers
and Clinical Rationales
Qn 1. A client with heart failure reports sudden onset of dyspnea and coughing pink,
frothy sputum. Which action should the nurse take FIRST?
A Administer furosemide IV push
B Apply oxygen via non-rebreather mask
C Place the client in high-Fowler's position
D Notify the healthcare provider immediately
Correct Answer: Place the client in high-Fowler's position
Rationale: Positioning the client upright reduces venous return and pulmonary congestion,
which is the priority intervention for acute pulmonary edema before other treatments are
initiated. High-Fowler's position maximizes lung expansion and decreases preload,
alleviating respiratory distress.
Why Wrong:
A: Furosemide is important but positioning is the priority first action.
B: Oxygen is necessary but positioning should be done first to maximize effectiveness.
C: Provider notification is important but not the immediate priority intervention.
