A coworker puts an arm around a nurse and says, "I bet you are a great lover." Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?

Rationale:

A. Reinforcing discharge teaching is less critical during a disaster and should be secondary to addressing immediate needs.

B. Focusing on life-threatening emergencies aligns with the priorities in a disaster situation, where resources are limited.

C. Stocking additional supplies should be managed based on current needs and priorities but is not as urgent as immediate patient care.

D. Focusing on ADLs is important but not the priority when dealing with life-threatening situations.

Rationale:

A. A young adult client admitted for acute glomerulonephritis following a viral infection does not indicate a mandatory report situation.

B. A dependent adult admitted for the treatment of a spiral fracture suggests potential abuse or neglect. As mandated reporters, nurses are required to report suspicions of abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities.

C. A young adult client admitted for asthma and has track marks that may indicate IV drug abuse does not necessarily require mandatory reporting unless there is evidence of abuse or harm that needs to be reported.

D. An emancipated minor who has acute appendicitis and wants to leave the facility without treatment may raise concerns about the minor's capacity to make decisions, but it does not automatically necessitate reporting to an outside agency.
