ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is bathing a client who is comatose and the radio is playing current rock music. The client has tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Selecting baroque music can create a calming environment, potentially reducing the client's tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Research suggests that certain types of music, particularly baroque, can have a soothing effect on patients, even those who are comatose.
Option A is incorrect as it implies inaction in a situation where the client's vital signs indicate distress. Option C, while addressing the symptoms, may not be the first line of intervention and could overlook non-pharmacological approaches. Option D, turning the client laterally, does not address the underlying issue of the client's elevated heart rate and blood pressure.
