A night nurse is preparing a client for a liver biopsy the next morning at 8:00 AM.
Which data is the most important for the nurse to report to the healthcare provider? The client:.

30 mL. This is because one ounce is equal to 29.57353 milliliters, so one ounce of an elixir medication is approximately 30 milliliters.

The nurse should instruct the client to take 30 milliliters of the medication during discharge teaching.

Choice A is wrong because 5 milliliters is much less than one ounce. Choice B is wrong because 15 milliliters is half of one ounce.

Choice C is wrong because 25 milliliters is slightly less than one ounce.

The nurse should use a conversion factor or a calculator to convert ounces to milliliters accurately.

“I feel uncomfortable praying with you, but I will find someone who won’t feel that way.” This statement by the nurse would best meet the client’s spiritual needs because it acknowledges the nurse’s own boundaries and feelings while also respecting the client’s request and finding a way to fulfill it.

Some possible explanations for why the other choices are wrong are:

Choice A is wrong because it does not address the client’s request to pray together and it assumes that the client wants a Bible without asking.

Choice B is wrong because it implies that the nurse does not want to pray with the client and that the client’s visitors would be more suitable for this task, which could make the client feel rejected or unsupported.

Choice C is wrong because it directly rejects the client’s request and discloses the nurse’s personal beliefs, which could create a sense of disconnection or conflict between the nurse and the client.
