A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) appears thin and disheveled. Which question should the nurse ask first?
- A. Do you have a strong support system?
- B. What do you understand about your disease?
- C. Do you experience shortness of breath with basic activities?
- D. What medications are you prescribed to take each day?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct question to ask first is C: "Do you experience shortness of breath with basic activities?" This is because shortness of breath is a common and concerning symptom in COPD patients that can greatly impact their quality of life and indicate disease progression. By addressing this symptom first, the nurse can assess the severity of the client's condition and determine the immediate need for intervention or treatment. Asking about support system (A) is important but not as urgent as addressing the primary symptom. Inquiring about the client's understanding of the disease (B) and medications (D) is also important but should come after addressing the immediate symptom of shortness of breath.
