A nurse is caring for a client who has hearing loss. While communicating with the client, which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Ham sandwich with milk. Ham is pork, which is strictly forbidden in kosher diets. Additionally, kosher law prohibits mixing meat and dairy in the same meal, making this option doubly inappropriate.
B. Bacon and cheese quiche with milk. Bacon is derived from pork and is non-kosher. The combination of meat (if using real bacon) and dairy (cheese and milk) also violates kosher dietary restrictions.
C. Shrimp salad and tomato soup with milk. Shellfish like shrimp are not kosher and are strictly avoided. Even though tomato soup and milk may be acceptable, the presence of shrimp makes this tray non-compliant with kosher laws.
D. Scrambled eggs and toast with milk. Eggs are permitted in a kosher diet as long as they do not contain blood spots, and dairy products like milk are also allowed. Since this meal contains no meat or non-kosher items, it aligns with kosher guidelines.

A. Allow the second nurse to enter the data while observing them. Even if observed, allowing another person to use a computer while logged in under someone else’s credentials violates HIPAA and security policies.
B. Log off the computer and let the second nurse log on and enter the data. This is the correct and secure action. Each nurse must use their own login to ensure accountability and protect patient confidentiality, as required by HIPAA and institutional policies.
C. Ask the second nurse for the data and enter it for them. This may lead to documentation errors or confusion about who provided care. Each nurse should document their own assessments and interventions.
D. Tell the second nurse to enter the data when they return from their break. While delaying documentation is sometimes necessary, timely documentation is important for safe patient care. The second nurse should have the opportunity to chart promptly, but under their own credentials.
