The nurse obtains the vital signs on a postoperative client who just returned to the nursing unit. The client’s blood pressure (BP) is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 90 beats per minute, and the respiration rate is 20 breaths per minute. On the basis of these findings, which actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.

1. Ask if the client is thirsty and assist with drinking a glass of water. 2. Ask how the client feels and inquire about any feelings of dizziness. 3. Review the client record to determine time and type of analgesia last received. 4. Review the client record to determine whether the client has voided postoperatively. 5. Assist the client to perform leg exercises and then recheck the blood pressure and pulse rate. 6. Review the client record to note the vital signs taken in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
