A nurse is caring for a client who refuses to follow the provider's prescription for strict bed rest. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) telling the client, "If you do not remain in bed, I will place you in restraints." The nurse should identify that the AP is committing which of the following torts?

Choice A reason:
Supplemental oxygen supplies are correct. Seizures can sometimes cause a decrease in oxygen levels, so having supplemental oxygen available can help support the client's respiratory needs.
Choice B reason:
Limb restraints are incorrect. Limb restraints are not typically used for seizure precautions as they can be dangerous and restrict the client's movement, potentially causing harm during a seizure.
Choice C reason:
Oral suction equipment is correct. Seizures can be associated with excessive saliva or potential vomiting, so having oral suction equipment ready can help clear the airway if necessary.
Choice D reason:
The oral airway is incorrect. Inserting an oral airway is not a standard part of seizure precautions and should only be used by healthcare professionals with proper training.
Choice E reason:
The blood glucose monitor is correct. Monitoring blood glucose levels can be important, especially if the client takes antiepileptic medications that may affect blood sugar levels.

Choice A reason:
When preparing to insert an IV catheter, placing the tourniquet abovethe proposed insertion site helps facilitate venous distension and makes it easier to locate a suitable vein for the catheter insertion. This technique helps to improve visibility and access to the vein.
Choice B reason:
Placing the extremity in a dependent position (lower than the heart) can increase venous pressure and make it more difficult to insert the catheter.
Choice C reason:
Choosing the most proximal site on the extremity is not always necessary or appropriate. Veins distal to the proposed insertion site should be considered first, as they tend to be smaller and less accessible.
Choice D reason:
Applying a cool compress is not typically done before IV catheter insertion. It might cause vasoconstriction and make it more difficult to access a suitable vein.
