Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: A 12-lead EKG most likely was performed to rule out MI.
Rationale 2: Oxygen may be administered until the threat of MI has been disproved, but this will not be done first.
Rationale 3: This is the most important intervention. The client needs to be removed from a busy area to help decrease the anxiety with the attack.
Rationale 4: Ativan is a good choice of medications, but it will take at least 1015 minutes to calm the symptoms.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
