A clinical instructor is assessing a student nurse's ability to promote patient engagement. Which of the following interventions made by the student suggests a NEED FOR FURTHER TEACHING?

A. “Read the room” is not one of the four agreements presented by Don Miguel Ruiz. This phrase is often used in everyday language to describe the act of understanding the mood or dynamics of a situation, but it is not one of the agreements outlined in the book. The four agreements focus more on personal conduct and attitudes rather than interpreting social situations.
B. This is one of the four agreements. It encourages individuals to avoid assuming things about others or situations without clear evidence. Making assumptions can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. The agreement advocates for clear communication and asking questions rather than making unfounded assumptions.
C. This is also one of the four agreements. It advises people not to take the actions or opinions of others personally, as these are often reflections of the other person's own issues and not a direct reflection of oneself. This agreement helps in reducing unnecessary emotional suffering and maintaining inner peace.
D. This is another of the four agreements. It emphasizes the importance of speaking with integrity, saying only what you mean, and avoiding using words to harm others or yourself. Being impeccable with your word fosters trust and respect in communication.

A. Discharge planning should start as soon as the client is admitted to the facility. Early planning helps anticipate and address the patient’s needs and ensures that all necessary arrangements for post- discharge care are made well in advance.
B. Starting discharge planning 48 hours before discharge is generally too late. Effective discharge planning requires more time to coordinate care, education, and resources. Beginning the process 48 hours before discharge may not allow enough time to address all aspects of the plan adequately, potentially leading to issues in the transition.
C. Waiting for insurance approval before starting discharge planning can lead to delays and may not be in the best interest of the patient. Discharge planning should be initiated based on the patient’s needs rather than insurance coverage. Waiting for approval can also disrupt the timeline for arranging follow- up care and services.
D. Waiting until the discharge order is written is too late for effective discharge planning. By the time the discharge order is written, many elements of the discharge plan should already be in place. Waiting until this point can lead to rushed arrangements and potentially inadequate preparation for the patient’s needs after leaving the facility.
