4. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. What client should the nurse see first?

A. A client with multiple children visiting
B. A client with lupus asking for dinner
C. A client on Methotrexate with a fever
D. A client with chronic rheumatic pain

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the client on Methotrexate with a fever. Fever in a client on Methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, could indicate a serious infection or adverse drug reaction requiring immediate attention to prevent complications. The other choices do not present immediate life-threatening concerns. A client with lupus asking for dinner can wait, a client with chronic rheumatic pain may need pain management but is not the priority over a fever in a client on Methotrexate, and a client with children visiting does not pose an urgent medical issue.
