A charge nurse is teaching a group of staff members about hand hygiene. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. A care coordinator role involves organizing and facilitating the delivery of healthcare services to ensure that the client's needs are met in a timely and efficient manner. This includes coordinating care plans, scheduling appointments, communicating between healthcare providers, and ensuring continuity of care. The nurse acts as a central point of contact and coordination for the client's healthcare team, ensuring all aspects of care are addressed.
B. A counselor role involves providing emotional support, guidance, and counseling to clients and their families. While nurses may provide counseling as part of their care, it typically focuses on health-related issues and coping strategies rather than organizing interprofessional teams.
C. An educator role involves providing information, teaching, and training to clients, families, and healthcare team members. Nurses educate clients about their health conditions, treatments, and self- care practices. They also educate other healthcare professionals on best practices, new treatments, and protocols. While education is crucial for effective teamwork, it alone does not encompass organizing interprofessional teams.
D. A researcher role involves conducting scientific inquiry and research to advance knowledge and improve healthcare practices. Researchers contribute to evidence-based practice by generating new knowledge through research studies. While research may influence healthcare teams' decisions and practices, it is not directly related to organizing interprofessional teams for client care.

A. Tachycardia refers to a rapid heart rate, typically defined as a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute. Theophylline can stimulate the heart and central nervous system, leading to an increase in heart rate. Tachycardia is a known adverse effect of theophylline and can occur especially if the medication is taken in higher doses or if there are interactions with other medications or caffeine.
B. Constipation is not a common adverse effect of theophylline. Theophylline primarily affects the respiratory and cardiovascular systems rather than the gastrointestinal system. Therefore, constipation is unlikely to be caused by theophylline therapy.
C. Drowsiness is generally not a common adverse effect of theophylline. Instead, theophylline is more likely to cause CNS stimulation, which can lead to insomnia, restlessness, or anxiety rather than drowsiness.
D. Oliguria refers to decreased urine output, which is not typically associated with theophylline use. Theophylline primarily affects respiratory function and cardiovascular parameters. Decreased urine output can occur in certain conditions or with medications that affect kidney function, but it is not a recognized adverse effect of theophylline.
