CMC · Sample question
A 68-year-old adult with chronic mitral valve disease reports increasing dyspnea and fatigue. Assessment shows crackles at both lung bases, oxygen saturation 90% on 2 L/min nasal cannula, heart rate 112/min, blood pressure 104/62 mm Hg, and a new holosystolic murmur at the apex radiating to the left axilla. Which nursing action is the priority?
A: Documentation is necessary, but it follows stabilization and escalation. C: Correct. Mitral regurgitation can cause backward flow into the left atrium and pulmonary congestion; dyspnea, crackles, and hypoxemia make breathing and circulation the priority. Positioning, reassessment, oxygenation support within protocol, and prompt provider notification are RN-scope actions. B: Sodium teaching is appropriate for chronic congestion prevention but is not the immediate priority. D: Ambulation could worsen hypoxemia and cardiac workload. Review Cardiac Chambers And Valves — focus on ABCs and congestion from impaired forward flow.
