Question 17 of 20 A nurse is performing basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a client. Under which condition(s) will the nurse discontinue CPR? Select all that apply. There is no automated external defibrillator (AED) available. There is a pulse and the client resumes breathing. There is no written evidence that resuscitation is the client's wishes. The client's condition deteriorates despite resuscitation efforts. The nurse becomes exhausted. SUBMIT ANSWER

When the client shows signs of life, such as having a pulse and resuming normal breathing, it's time to stop CPR. This is a clear indication that the body is beginning to function properly again, and the nurse's efforts can be transitioned to care and monitoring. On the other hand, if the nurse becomes physically exhausted, it’s crucial to prioritize their own safety and well-being. An exhausted rescuer may not provide effective CPR, so seeking assistance, stepping away, or rotating with another rescuer is essential to maintain high-quality care.
