Title: A 5-year-old child returns from the pediatric intensive care unit after abdomina Post by: Desolo on Oct 28, 2014 A 5-year-old child returns from the pediatric intensive care unit after abdominal surgery. The orders state to monitor vital signs every 2 hours. On assessment, the nurse observes that the child’s heart rate is 20 beats/min less than it was preoperatively. The nurse’s next action is to:
a. follow the orders and check in 2 hours. b. ask the parents if this is the child’s usual heart rate. c. recheck the pulse and blood pressure in 15 minutes. d. notify the surgeon that the child is probably going into shock.
