A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a client.

Exhibit 1

Medical History

Initial visit:

Client reports a sedentary lifestyle.

Client is lactose intolerant and denies taking vitamin supplements.

Client is a nonsmoker.

Client does not drink alcohol.

The nurse is reviewing the client's medical record. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for osteoporosis? (Select all that apply.)

A.Place the sterile field at the level of the nurse’s hips: This is not a recommended action. The sterile field should be placed at waist level or slightly above to ensure easy access and prevent contamination.

B. Hold bottles of sterile solution with the label in the palm of the hand: This protects the label from becoming wet and illegible, which is proper sterile technique.

C. Open the outermost flap of the sterile kit toward the body: When opening a sterile kit or package, the nurse should open the outermost flap away from the body to prevent contamination. Opening the flap toward the body increases the risk of airborne particles or contaminants from the nurse's clothing or skin entering the sterile field.

D. Sterile liquids should be poured into sterile containers on the sterile field, taking care not to contaminate the field.

A. Asking the family if they wish to assist in washing the client's body:

This is an important first step because it respects the family's cultural or religious practices and allows them to participate in the care of their loved one if they choose. It sets the tone for sensitive and respectful postmortem care.

B. Removing the client's dentures for their family to keep:

Dentures are usually leftin the mouth tomaintain facial shape.However, this action is not the first priority.

C. Leaving the client's eyes open until the family views the body:

It is generally recommended to gently close the client's eyes after death as part of the postmortem care process. Leaving the eyes open might be distressing for the family, so this action should not be performed first.

D. Turn overhead lights to a bright setting.

Bright lighting may not be comforting for the family or create a peaceful environment. Dim or soft lighting is usually preferred to create a calming atmosphere during this sensitive time. Therefore, this is not the first action the nurse should take.
