Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood pressure is the priority assessment as the client received a higher volume of fluid than prescribed, which can lead to fluid overload and potentially elevated blood pressure. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of fluid overload, such as increased blood pressure, is essential for the client's safety. The other assessments may be important but are not the priority in this situation.
