A client is scheduled to have a tracheostomy placed in an hour. What action by the nurse is the priority?
- A. Administer prescribed anxiolytic medication.
- B. Ensure informed consent is on the chart.
- C. Reinforce any teaching done previously.
- D. Start the preoperative antibiotic infusion.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ensure informed consent is on the chart. This is the priority because obtaining informed consent is essential to ensure the client understands the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives. It protects the client's autonomy and ensures legal and ethical standards are met. Administering anxiolytic medication may help with anxiety but does not address the crucial issue of consent. Reinforcing teaching and starting antibiotics are important but secondary to obtaining informed consent.
