A case manager in a rehabilitation facility is discussing discharge plans with a client who has a pressure injury and requires a special bed at home. Which of the following statements should the nurse make first?

A. "I will ensure the content is written at an 8th-grade level."

Ensuring that the content is written at an 8th-grade level is an example of addressing health literacy needs. Using clear and simple language at an appropriate reading level improves understanding and accessibility for a broader audience.

B. "I will focus on medical facts instead of desired behaviors":

Focusing solely on medical facts may not effectively engage the audience or promote desired behaviors. Effective health education often involves presenting information in a way that is relevant, understandable, and encourages positive health behaviors.

C. "I will use 16-point font when creating the handouts":

While using an appropriate font size is important for readability, it is just one aspect of health literacy. Font size alone does not address the overall clarity and simplicity of the content, which is crucial for health literacy.

D. "I will use third person when conducting the presentation":

Using the third person in presentations may not necessarily address health literacy needs. The focus should be on the clarity of the information, choice of language, and engagement strategies rather than the grammatical person used in the presentation.

A. The child's family has an indoor cat that sleeps with the child.

Having an indoor cat is not a direct indicator of child abuse. This is a normal and unrelated aspect of family life.

B. The child spends the weekends with their grandparents.

Spending weekends with grandparents, on its own, does not necessarily indicate a risk for child abuse. Grandparents often play a positive and supportive role in a child's life.

C. One of the child's parents has a history of alcohol use disorder.

A history of alcohol use disorder in a parent can contribute to an increased risk of child abuse. Substance abuse issues can impair judgment and increase the likelihood of neglect or abuse.

D. Neither of the child's parents is financially stable.

Financial instability is a known risk factor for child abuse. Economic stress can contribute to a chaotic home environment, potentially increasing the risk of neglect or abuse.

E. One of the child's parents appears frightened of the other parent.

The fear between parents is concerning and may indicate the presence of domestic violence or an unsafe home environment. Children in households with domestic violence are at a higher risk of abuse or neglect.
