Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Premature ventricular contractions can affect blood pressure and oxygen saturation, potentially leading to cardiovascular compromise. Therefore, monitoring these vital signs is the priority assessment for the nurse. Sensations of palpitation and causative factors can also be assessed, but they are not as urgent as monitoring the client's vital signs.
