The action by the nurse is the highest priority Assess vital signs and level of consciousness.

<h3>elaborate:</h3>
  • Femur fractures can cause hypovolemic shock because the tissue loses blood.
  • A nurse can determine whether a patient is in shock by checking their vital signs and state of awareness.
  • For a patient with a femur fracture, measuring the diameter of the thigh and checking the pedal pulses are suitable procedures, but checking for hypovolemic shock should come first.
  • To help manage pain, painkillers should be securely supplied as directed.
  • Many painkillers reduce blood pressure.
  • The patient's blood pressure can be too low to properly deliver the painkiller if they are in shock.
