Correct answer: B

2. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. What client should the nurse see first?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the client on Methotrexate with a fever. Fever in a client on Methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, could indicate a serious infection or adverse drug reaction requiring immediate attention to prevent complications.

A client with lupus asking for dinner can wait, a client with chronic rheumatic pain may need pain management but is not the priority over a fever in a client on Methotrexate, and a client with children visiting does not pose an urgent medical issue.

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

4. Where will the nurse collect the most reliable source of pain assessment?
