Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: In the absence of cyanosis, the logical sequence of events would be cardiac arrest followed by respiratory arrest.
Rationale 2: In the absence of cyanosis, the logical sequence of events would be cardiac arrest followed by respiratory arrest.
Rationale 3: Unless the client has do-not-resuscitate orders, a code should be called.
Rationale 4: There is no indication that the arrest was caused by airway obstruction or that the client cannot be resuscitated.
