A nurse is assisting in a client education class for fire safety in the home. Which of the following statements by a client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

B) Log the previous user out of the system:

The immediate action the nurse should take is to protect the client's confidentiality by logging out the previous user from the computer system. This ensures that unauthorized individuals do not have access to the client's health information. By taking this step promptly, the nurse mitigates the risk of unauthorized viewing of sensitive information.

A) Complete an incident report:

While completing an incident report is important for documenting the occurrence, it is not the first action the nurse should take. The priority is to address the immediate breach of confidentiality by securing the computer system to prevent further unauthorized access.

C) Report the incident to the charge nurse:

Reporting the incident to the charge nurse is essential, but it should follow the immediate action of logging out the previous user from the system. The charge nurse can then coordinate any necessary follow-up actions and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.

D) Offer to conduct a unit in-service on client confidentiality:

While staff education on client confidentiality is valuable for preventing future breaches, it is not the first action needed in response to the immediate situation. Addressing the current breach takes precedence to protect the client's privacy. Staff education can be considered as a proactive measure after addressing the immediate concern.

"Gather enough supplies to last for 2 weeks": This information is essential for disaster preparedness. During emergencies, such as natural disasters or pandemics, access to resources may be limited for an extended period. Having a sufficient supply of food, water, medications, and other essentials for at least two weeks ensures that older adults can sustain themselves until assistance becomes available.

C) "Have a backup supply of nonprescription medications": It is crucial for older adults to have a backup supply of nonprescription medications, such as pain relievers, antacids, or allergy medications, in case they are unable to access pharmacies during a disaster. Having these medications readily available can help manage common health issues that may arise during emergencies.

D) "Stock 2 liters of water per person per day": Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining health, especially during emergencies when access to clean water may be disrupted. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to dehydration, so having a sufficient supply of water—approximately 2 liters per person per day—for drinking, cooking, and hygiene purposes is critical for their well-being.
