- A. A client with multiple children visiting
- B. A client with lupus asking for dinner
- C. A client on Methotrexate with a fever
- D. A client with chronic rheumatic pain
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. The other choices do not present immediate life-threatening concerns. 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.
