The nurse should prepare a cardiac monitor to monitor the client's heart rate and rhythm, a pulse oximeter to measure the client's oxygen saturation, and oxygen to improve oxygenation. Whole blood and Dextran 40 may be used in some cases of shock, but these interventions would typically be ordered by a physician and would not be the first-line interventions for a nurse to prepare.
