A 24-year-old fainted briefly during a blood draw after feeling hot and nauseated, and recovered within seconds. What is appropriate teaching?

1. Lie down or sit at the first symptoms and keep well hydrated
2. Take a daily beta-blocker without medical advice
3. Stand up quickly and walk about when dizzy
4. Avoid drinking any water before procedures

Answer: A) Lie down or sit at the first symptoms and keep well hydrated. This is a common, usually benign vasovagal faint. The client learns to recognise early symptoms and lie with legs raised or sit, stay hydrated and use limb-muscle tensing.
