A nurse is caring for a client who is in contact isolation. When exiting the client's room, in what order should the nurse take the following steps when removing her personal protective equipment? (Move the nursing actions into the box on the right, placing them in the selected order of performance. All steps must be used.)

Measuring the output from an indwelling urinary catheter is within the scope of practice for an assistive personnel (AP). It involves a straightforward task that does not require specialized nursing knowledge or judgment.

The other tasks mentioned should not be delegated to an AP:

Administer an enteral feeding to a client who has a new gastrostomy tube: Administering enteral feedings requires specialized knowledge and training to ensure proper placement and administration. This task should be performed by a licensed nurse.

Evaluate a client's pain level 30 min after receiving an oral analgesic: Evaluating pain level and the effectiveness of pain management requires nursing assessment and judgment. This task should be performed by a licensed nurse.

Reinforce foot care to a client who has a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus: Providing education and reinforcing foot care to a client with a new diagnosis of diabetes requires

specialized knowledge about the disease and its management. This task should be performed by a licensed nurse.

Metoclopramide is a medication commonly used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). While it is generally well-tolerated, it can have some adverse effects. Sedation is one of the common side effects of metoclopramide. It can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and a feeling of tiredness in some individuals. Therefore, the nurse should monitor the client for any signs of sedation or excessive drowsiness, especially when the client starts taking the medication or when the dose is increased.

Hypertension: Metoclopramide is not known to cause hypertension (high blood pressure) as a common side effect. In fact, it may have a mild hypotensive (blood pressure-lowering) effect in some individuals.

Urinary retention: Metoclopramide does not typically cause urinary retention. Instead, it can enhance gastrointestinal motility and increase the frequency of bowel movements.

Blurred vision: While visual disturbances are rare adverse effects of metoclopramide, blurred vision is not a commonly reported side effect. However, other visual disturbances like oculogyric crisis (involuntary rolling back of the eyes) have been reported in rare cases. Nevertheless, monitoring for blurred vision specifically is not a priority when administering metoclopramide.
