A nurse is assessing a client's comprehension of a pulmonary function test prior to the procedure. Which of the following client statements indicates to the nurse an understanding of the procedure?

Choice A Reason:
A sufficient supply of personal protective equipment is appropriate. Bioterrorism events can involve the deliberate release of biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins, with the intent to cause harm to individuals or populations. In such events, personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for protecting healthcare workers and first responders from exposure to infectious agents and toxins. Adequate supplies of PPE, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection, are essential to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and to prevent the spread of infection.
Choice B Reason:
A network for communication between staff members and families, is important for coordinating care and providing updates during a disaster, but it is not the highest priority when addressing immediate safety concerns related to a bioterrorism event.
Choice C Reason:
A mental health specialist on the response team, is important for providing support to individuals affected by the disaster, but it is not the highest priority during the initial response phase focused on safety and containment.
Choice D Reason:
A system for tracking client information, is important for maintaining continuity of care and tracking patient outcomes, but it is not the highest priority in the immediate response to a bioterrorism event when protecting healthcare workers and preventing further spread of infection is paramount.

Choice A Reason:
A client who has Guillain-Barré syndrome and a tracheostomy is incorrect. Guillain-Barré syndrome can be a complex condition, especially when accompanied by a tracheostomy. Caring for a client with this condition requires knowledge and experience in managing respiratory and neurological complications. It may not be suitable for a newly licensed nurse who may require more experience to manage such complex care needs.
Choice B Reason:
A client who has a brain tumor and is admitted for chemotherapy is incorrect. Caring for a client with a brain tumor undergoing chemotherapy involves understanding the effects of both the tumor and the treatment on the client's neurological status and overall well-being. It may require advanced assessment skills and knowledge of potential complications. Assigning this client to a newly licensed nurse may not be appropriate without additional support and supervision.
Choice C Reason:
A client who has multiple sclerosis and ataxia is incorrect. Multiple sclerosis (MS) can present with various neurological symptoms, including ataxia, which affects coordination and balance. Managing the care of a client with MS and ataxia may require familiarity with the disease process, symptom management strategies, and potential complications. It may be more suitable for a nurse with some experience in neurological nursing.
Choice D Reason:
A client who sustained a concussion and is being monitored for complications is correct. Caring for a client with a concussion being monitored for complications is typically within the scope of practice for a newly licensed nurse. Monitoring for changes in neurological status, assessing for signs of increased intracranial pressure, and providing supportive care are tasks that can be managed by a newly licensed nurse under appropriate supervision.
