"a client with acute pancreatitis has a blood pressure of 88/40 mm hg, heart rate of 128 bpm, respirations of 28/min, and grey turner's sign. what prescription should the nurse implement first?"
The prescription should be an intravenous line into the patient. The reason for this is that Grey Turner's can cause a bluish color to be seen in the patient's upper abdominal area as well as the lower back. This is known as the 'flank area'. This pain is caused by bleeding. The intravenous line will give a replacement in terms of volume.
