The client receiving t-PA has a change in neurologic status while receiving this fibrinolytic therapy.The nurse assesses this client first as he or she may have an intracerebral bleed.The client with meningitis has expected manifestations.The client waiting for discharge teaching is a lower priority.The client waiting for surgery can be assessed quickly after the nurse sees the client who is receiving t-PA,or the nurse could delegate checking on this client to another nurse.
