A nurse is assessing a client who is 1 week postpartum. Which of the following locations should the nurse palpate to assess the client's fundus? (You will find hot spots to select in the artwork below. Select only the hot spot that corresponds to your answer.)

Choice A rationale:

Waiting until school age to engage in social activities is not appropriate, as social interaction is important for a toddler's development.

Choice B rationale:

Interacting with the child according to their developmental age is important for fostering appropriate growth and development.

Choice C rationale:

Devoting more time to learning than playing may not be appropriate, as play is an essential component of early childhood development.

Choice D rationale:

Teaching several steps of a task at one time may be overwhelming for a toddler with a cognitive delay. Instructions should be simple and broken down into manageable steps.

- Rationale for Choice A: Pulmonary hygiene is important for preventing pneumonia, especially in bedridden clients. However, it is not specific to the care of a client with leukemia unless they have a respiratory complication which necessitates such an intervention.
- Rationale for Choice B: Airborne precautions are typically used for clients who have infections that can be transmitted through the air, such as tuberculosis. Leukemia does not require airborne precautions unless the client has a coexisting airborne infection.
- Rationale for Choice C: Regular turning of the client can help prevent pressure ulcers and is a good practice for any bedridden patient. However, the use of powder is controversial as it can cake and lead to skin breakdown, and is not specifically indicated for leukemia care.
- Rationale for Choice D: Assessing the client's urine for odor and cloudiness is an important part of care for clients with leukemia. They are at increased risk for urinary tract infections due to immunosuppression, and changes in urine can indicate an infection that needs prompt treatment.
