Practice Question
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client who has heat stroke. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Place the client on oxygen using a mask
Rationale:
💎 Heat stroke is a medical emergency, requiring rapid stabilization of airway, breathing, and circulation.
💎 Oxygen support improves cellular oxygenation and prevents hypoxemia due to increased metabolic demand.
💎 Cooling interventions must be stopped at 39°C to avoid rebound hypothermia and shivering.
💎 IV fluids are critical to restore intravascular volume and prevent circulatory collapse.
💎 Antipyretics and benzodiazepines are not effective for true heat stroke, as it is not caused by infection or seizures primarily.
