A charge nurse plans to use effective change strategies when implementing a change in a nursing procedure on the medical-surgical unit. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse take during the moving stage of change?

A. While the client's temperature is not extremely high, it is elevated and persistent. Requesting an antipyretic or further evaluation may be warranted to prevent potential complications.

B. Insertion of NG tube for decompression is not necessary as the client is passing flatus and has bowel sounds in all quadrants, indicating normal gastrointestinal function.

C. Oxygen 2 to 4 L/min via nasal cannula is not necessary since the client's SpO2 levels are within normal range on room air.

D. The client's urinary output is adequate (400 mL over 6 hours), so a catheter is not required at this time.

E. The lack of drainage from the wound drain could indicate a problem that requires immediate attention. This could prevent complications like infection or fluid accumulation.

The nurse's documentation of the client being "inappropriate" is vague and unprofessional. Additionally, using the term "huge fall risk" without a specific assessment or plan to mitigate the risk (e.g., implementing fall precautions) is not adequate documentation. Further, the nurse’s reliance on physical or chemical restraints without exploring alternative interventions suggests a need for education on restraint use and patient safety practices.

The nurse's notes reflect a subjective description of the client's behavior as 'inappropriate' and 'complaining or arguing,' which is not objective or professional. It is important for nursing documentation to remain objective and to describe observed behaviors rather than labeling them. The statement that the client is "medically stable" should be supported by objective data rather than subjective observation, and it is important to note that mental health stability is also a crucial aspect of overall health.
