NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer involves addressing the client's hemodynamic instability by lowering their head to improve blood flow to vital organs and preparing for further intervention. This action helps stabilize the client temporarily while the underlying cause is being assessed and treated. Administering pain medication is inappropriate because it doesn't address the client's unstable vital signs and could mask symptoms. Encouraging hydration by oral intake is unsafe when the client shows possible signs of shock or hypovolemia. Waiting for a provider could lead to critical delays in care.
