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.
