What should you do FIRST?
No! You must first check the client. Is he awake and an EKG just came off!
No! Check the patient and check lead placement. This is a typical NCLEX Question.
Yes! Check the client first. If the client is awake and alert, it’s just a lead that came off. Of course, if not, check for breathing and pulse and begin CPR as indicated.
