obstructing the airway, and, if necessary, providing supplemental oxygen to support breathing. (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect actions in this context. Elevating the head of the bed (A) may not be the immediate priority, and preparing Lorazepam for administration (B) is a secondary intervention after addressing the airway. Placing a tongue depressor in between the client’s teeth (D) is contraindicated, as it can cause injury and is not recommended in the management of seizures. Therefore, the primary focus should be on securing the airway to ensure the client's safety and well-being during the seizure episode. (See Providing Care to Clients Following Seizure Episodes ) 5. In what order should the LPN see the following clients? Use appropriate letters to match the correct order

A.​ a 72-year-old client with pneumonia asking to order her dinner. B.​ a 23-year-old client with left arm fracture after an MVA complaining of 6 out of 10 pain in his arm

C.​ a 53-year-old client with lower leg swelling complaining of sudden onset headache and blurry vision. D.​a 47-year-old client requesting more information regarding her surgery scheduled in three hour

A.​ A, D, B, C B.​ D, C, B, A C.​ B, C, A, D D.​ C, B, D, A Correct Response: D

Explanation: The correct answer is (D) , as the LPN should prioritize seeing the clients in the following order: the 53-year-old client with lower leg swelling complaining of a sudden onset headache and blurry vision (C), the 23-year-old client with a left arm fracture after an MVA complaining of 6 out of 10 pain in his arm (B), the 47-year-old client requesting more information regarding her surgery scheduled in three hours (D), and finally, the 72-year-old client with pneumonia asking to order her dinner (A). This prioritization is based on the urgency and potential severity of the health issues presented by each client. The 53-year-old client may be experiencing a medical emergency requiring immediate attention, followed by addressing the acute pain of the 23-year-old. The 47-year-old's surgery information can be provided next, and the 72-year-old's request can be addressed last. (See Prioritization ) 6. The LPN has just received a report on the following clients. Which of these clients should the LPN see ? A.​ A client with a newly placed NG tube who is complaining of pain around the face and a plugged nose. B.​ A post-op prostatectomy client complains of bladder spasms and blood in his foley bag. C.​ A client in an arm cast that is 2 days post-op and reports feelings of numbness and tingling in her affected arm. D.​ A client newly diagnosed with hepatitis A reports stomach pain and itchy skin. Correct Response: C
