client tells a nurse that she tested positive for a mutant BRCA-1 gene. The nurse should recognize that this finding increases the client's risk for which of the following conditions?

a. Emesis of 100 mL: While emesis is a concern, the priority is to address potential complications related to the surgical procedure first.

b. Oral temperature of 37.5" C (99.5° F): This temperature is within a normal range, and it is not an immediate concern.

c. Pain level of 4 on a 0 to 10 rating scale: Pain is important to address, but the priority is to assess for potential complications such as bleeding or infection.

d. Thick, red-colored urine: This finding suggests the possibility of bleeding, which could be a complication of the TURP procedure. It is the priority finding to report to the provider for further evaluation.

A. Request an order for an antiemetic - Checking vital signs is the priority before administering any medication. Antiemetics may be considered later, but the nurse needs to assess the client's overall condition first.

B. Request a dietary consult - Assessing vital signs comes before consulting for dietary issues.

The priority is to determine the client's immediate physiological status.

C. Check the client’s vital signs - This is the correct first action as it helps to evaluate the client's cardiovascular status, especially considering the potential toxicity of digoxin in the setting of

nausea and refusal of breakfast.

D. Suggest that the client rests before eating the meal - While rest may be beneficial, assessing vital signs takes precedence to rule out any acute cardiovascular compromise.
