Famous NCLEX Priority Interventions

  • Priority Action: Administer 15 grams of a fast-acting carbohydrate (e.g., 4 oz of juice, glucose tablets).
  • Other actions: Recheck blood glucose in 15 minutes, repeat treatment if still low, and provide a complex carbohydrate snack once stable.
  • Priority Action: Administer IV dextrose (e.g., 25-50 mL of D50) or IM glucagon.
  • Other actions: Monitor blood glucose levels, ensure airway patency, and continue to monitor for improved consciousness.
  • Priority Action: Administer MONA (Morphine, Oxygen, Nitroglycerin, Aspirin) with oxygen being the most immediate action.
  • Other actions in ER: Monitor ECG, assess pain, obtain cardiac enzymes, and prepare for further intervention like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Priority Action: Administer a short-acting beta-agonist (e.g., albuterol) via nebulizer or inhaler.
  • Other actions: Administer oxygen, monitor oxygen saturation, assess lung sounds, and ensure IV access for further medications like corticosteroids.
  • Priority Action: Administer IM epinephrine immediately.
  • Other actions: Administer oxygen, antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), corticosteroids, and fluids to maintain blood pressure.
  • Priority Action: Initiate rapid assessment and prepare for thrombolytic therapy (if within the therapeutic window and no contraindications) as soon as confirmed with CT scan.  In ER, take to CT scan within 20 minutes.
  • Other actions: Ensure patent airway, obtain a CT scan to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke, and monitor neurological status.
  • Priority Action: Elevate the head of the bed to 30 degrees to promote venous drainage.
  • Other actions: Maintain a quiet environment, limit suctioning and straining, and administer osmotic diuretics (e.g., mannitol) if prescribed.
  • Priority Action: Prepare for needle decompression to release trapped air in the pleural space.
  • Other actions: Administer oxygen, monitor for signs of respiratory distress, and prepare for chest tube insertion.
  • Priority Action: Support BP with fluids.  Initiate broad-spectrum antibiotics after obtaining blood cultures.
  • Priority Action: Encourage deep breathing, coughing, and use of the incentive spirometer.
  • Other actions: Administer oxygen, reposition to improve ventilation (e.g., high Fowler’s), and assess for signs of atelectasis or pneumonia.
  • Priority Action: Administer beta-blockers to reduce heart rate and prevent cardiovascular collapse. Choose beta-blockers in thyroid storm versus antithyroid medications. Beta-blockers work faster.
  • Other actions: Administer antithyroid medications (e.g., PTU), cooling measures for hyperthermia, and IV fluids for dehydration.
  • Priority Action: Elevate the head of the bed.  Dangle legs.  Administer IV antihypertensives (e.g., nitroprusside, labetalol) to reduce blood pressure.
  • Other actions: Monitor for end-organ damage, assess neurological status for stroke signs, and ensure continuous blood pressure monitoring.
  • Priority Action: Administer diuretics (e.g., furosemide) to reduce fluid overload.
  • Other actions: Administer oxygen, position the patient in a high Fowler’s position, and provide morphine if needed for vasodilation and anxiety.
  • Priority Action: Administer magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures.
  • Other actions: Monitor for magnesium toxicity, assess deep tendon reflexes, implement seizure precautions, and closely monitor blood pressure.
  • Priority Action: Administer IV fluids using the Parkland formula to maintain fluid balance.
  • Other actions: Monitor urine output to ensure adequate perfusion, maintain airway patency (especially in facial burns), and prevent hypothermia.
  • Priority Action: Monitor for signs of tetany (e.g., Chvostek’s and Trousseau’s signs) and administer calcium gluconate if necessary.
  • Other actions: Keep tracheostomy equipment at the bedside in case of airway obstruction, monitor for laryngeal stridor, and assess for hypocalcemia symptoms.
  • Priority Action: Prepare for immediate surgery.
  • Other actions: Administer IV fluids, maintain NPO status, administer pain medications cautiously, and avoid applying heat to the abdomen (as it may cause rupture).
  • Priority Action: Administer naloxone to reverse opioid toxicity.
  • Other actions: Monitor respiratory status, assess consciousness, provide oxygen, and prevent aspiration. Important: Naloxone is the priority, not oxygen.  Oxygen is useless if not breathing.

Albuterol is the priority in acute asthma

Take 1 puff at a time. Wait 1 minute between puffs.

Press down on the inhaler while inhaling deeply and slowly

Common side effects are nervousness and tachycardia

Use before exercising

In an asthma attack, diminished or absent breath sounds means that the airways are closing: Major concern!
