The nurse is caring for a client who reports a sudden, severe headache, and facial numbness.The nurse asks the client to smile and observes an uneven smile with a facial droop to the right side and a hand grasp strength that is weaker on the right than the left. The client denies a recent history of headaches or trauma. After obtaining vital signs, the nurse should implement which intervention?

A) Incorrect- While notifying the healthcare provider is an important step to take after an error, it's not the first action the nurse should take. The immediate concern is the client's safety and well-being, so assessing the client for any adverse effects of the incorrect dose is the priority.
B) Incorrect- Documentation is important, but it's not the first action to take after administering an incorrect medication dose. The nurse should prioritize assessing the client for any adverse effects and ensuring their immediate safety.
C) Incorrect- Completing an incident report is an important step to document errors and prevent future occurrences, but it's not the initial action to take. First, the nurse should focus on the client's well-being by assessing for adverse effects.
D) Correct- Assessing the client for any adverse effects is the immediate priority when an incorrect dose of medication has been administered. The nurse's first concern is the safety and health of the client. Once the client's condition has been assessed and stabilized, further actions can be taken, such as notifying the healthcare provider and completing incident reports.

Log-rolling is a technique of moving a client as a unit without twisting or bending the spine, which is used for clients with spinal injuries or surgeries. After log-rolling a client to a lateral position, the PN should place pillows to maintain alignment and prevent pressure ulcers or nerve damage. The pillows should be placed under the head, neck, upper arm, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and lower leg.

The other options are not correct because:

A. Raising the head of the bed 30 degrees is not necessary or appropriate after log-rolling a client to a lateral position, as it can cause shearing forces or compromise the spinal stability. The head of the bed should be kept flat or slightly elevated during log rolling.

B. Measuring blood pressure and pulse rate is not the immediate intervention after log-rolling a client to a lateral position, as it does not ensure the comfort or safety of the client. The PN should monitor the vital signs before and after log-rolling, but not during or immediately after.

C. Flexing legs and placing a blanket between legs is not the immediate intervention after log-rolling a client to a lateral position, as it does not support the spine or prevent pressure ulcers or nerve damage. The PN should keep the legs straight and aligned with the body during log-rolling, and place a pillow under the lower leg after log-rolling.
