A nurse is assisting with an in-service to a group of newly licensed nurses about the definition of nursing developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA). Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

A. When a client has a fever, they are at increased risk for dehydration due to fluid loss through sweating and increased metabolic rate. The nurse should encourage adequate fluid intake to help keep the client hydrated.
B. This action is contraindicated. A warming blanket would further elevate the client's body temperature, which is counterproductive when managing a fever. The goal is to help the client cool down, not warm them up.
C. Increasing the room temperature is not advisable. A warmer environment could make the client feel more uncomfortable and may exacerbate their fever. Instead, the nurse should consider cooling measures.
D. Removing excess clothing can help the client cool down and make them more comfortable. It allows for better heat dissipation and can aid in lowering body temperature.

A. Electronic communication carries significant risks of privacy violations, particularly concerning patient confidentiality and data security. Nurses must be aware of these risks and take appropriate measures to protect patient information.
B. Sending prescriptions electronically should always be done using secure, encrypted methods to protect sensitive patient information. Using unencrypted devices poses a risk of interception and privacy violations, so this practice is not acceptable in a healthcare setting.
C. Social media is indeed a form of electronic communication, and it can be used for various purposes, including sharing health information. However, nurses must be cautious about using social media to protect patient privacy and maintain professionalism.

D. Video conference calls are a legitimate form of electronic communication that allows healthcare providers to interact with clients remotely. This method can be especially useful for telehealth services, enabling timely consultations and follow-ups.
