A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder. The client says to the nurse. "Give me your pen to cut the pain out of my chest. The nurse should identify that the client is at risk for which of the following?

A. The right to parity: Parity refers to the equality or fairness in treatment or access to services. This right ensures that individuals are treated fairly and without discrimination. However, in situations where a client requires close observation due to safety hazards, ensuring parity may not be feasible or appropriate as the primary focus is on preventing harm and promoting safety rather than ensuring equal treatment.

B. The right to make informed decisions: This right emphasizes the client's autonomy and ability to make decisions about their care based on relevant information provided by healthcare professionals. While this right is fundamental in healthcare, in cases where a client poses a risk to their safety or the safety of others due to their condition, such as in cases requiring close observation, the client may temporarily forfeit the right to make informed decisions to ensure their safety.

C. The right to social contact: This right pertains to the client's ability to interact with others and maintain social connections, which are important for emotional well-being. However, in situations where a client requires close observation due to safety concerns, restrictions on social contact may be necessary to prevent harm or injury. For example, if a client exhibits behaviors that pose a risk to themselves or others, limiting social contact can help mitigate these risks and ensure the safety of all individuals involved.

D. The right to privacy: Privacy encompasses the client's right to confidentiality and autonomy over personal matters. However, in situations where a client's safety is at risk and close observation is necessary, the right to privacy may be temporarily forfeited. Close observation often involves continuous monitoring by healthcare providers, which may intrude on the client's privacy. This intrusion is deemed necessary to prevent harm and ensure the client's safety until they are no longer at risk.

A. Voice alteration: Voice alteration is not a typical adverse effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). ECT primarily affects brain function and is not expected to cause changes in vocal function.

B. Neck pain: Neck pain is a potential adverse effect of ECT, particularly related to the positioning of the client during the procedure or muscle stiffness following the seizure induction. It is important to monitor for and address any discomfort or pain experienced by the client.

C. Memory deficit: Memory deficits, particularly short-term memory loss, are common adverse effects of ECT. These deficits are typically temporary and tend to improve over time following completion of the ECT treatment course.

D. Headache: Headache is a potential adverse effect of ECT, particularly following the seizure induction. It may occur due to the physiological effects of the procedure and typically resolves relatively quickly following the completion of the ECT session.
