A nurse is caring for a client who has a body mass index (BMI) of 18. The nurse should place the client in which of the following BMI categories?

A. Orienting the patient to the location of the call bell and instructing on its use is crucial for patient safety and assistance, enabling them to call for help when needed.
B. Discussing the expected cost of the room per day may be important but is typically handled by the administrative or financial services staff, not part of the nursing orientation.
C. Shift change times are important for staff but are less pertinent to a patient's immediate needs and orientation to the unit.
D. While creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere is important, addressing the patient informally by their first name should be done only if the patient expresses a preference for it; it's not part of standard orientation.

A. Assisting the patient to get dressed might be part of the LPN/LVN's role or a nursing assistant's role but not typically a task performed by a registered nurse during the discharge process.
B. Packing the patient's personal belongings could also be done by the patient or their family, or it might be assisted by nursing staff, but it's not usually a specific responsibility of the registered nurse during discharge.
C. Writing the discharge instructions, which include medication schedules, follow-up care, dietary guidelines, and other critical information, is typically the responsibility of the registered nurse.
D. Accompanying the patient to the acute care facility entrance might be a part of the overall discharge process but is not a task specifically assigned to the registered nurse.
