A barely conscious patient is brought to the ER with the handle of a nail file sticking part way out of the right side of the chest. The nurse’s actions initially should be to:
1.   turn the patient to the left side and prepare to remove the nail file.
2.   place a pillow under the right side and elevate the head.
3.   notify the charge nurse to call the hospital administration.
4.   stabilize the nail file with a dressing and turn the patient to the right side.


This is for my medical nursing class
