A nurse is caring for a client who wants to leave the facility against medical advice. In an attempt to prevent the client from leaving, an assistive personnel (AP) has hidden the client's car keys. Which of the following torts is the AP committing by hiding the client's car keys?

A. Place the client in a supine position: The supine position can worsen dyspnea by limiting diaphragmatic movement and decreasing lung expansion. Clients with respiratory distress should be positioned upright or semi-Fowler’s to facilitate breathing.

B. Instruct the client to perform diaphragmatic breathing: Diaphragmatic breathing helps improve oxygenation and ventilation by promoting deeper, more efficient breaths. It also reduces accessory muscle use and can decrease anxiety associated with shortness of breath.

C. Increase oxygen flow rate to 4 L/min: Oxygen should be titrated to maintain target saturation (usually 92–94% for COPD risk patients). The client’s current oxygen saturation is 92% on 2 L/min, so increasing the flow is unnecessary at this time.

D. Assess the client's breath sounds: Ongoing assessment of breath sounds is essential to monitor for changes such as wheezing, crackles, or diminished air entry, which guide interventions and evaluate response to therapy.

E. Restrict the client's fluid intake: Fluid restriction is not indicated in this client’s current presentation. Adequate hydration helps thin secretions, making coughing and airway clearance more effective.

F. Perform chest percussion and vibration: Chest physiotherapy techniques like percussion and vibration can help loosen and mobilize secretions, improving airway clearance in clients with productive cough and retained secretions.

A. Avoid oral sucrose: Oral sucrose is actually an effective nonpharmacologic pain management strategy for infants. It should not be avoided; small amounts can help reduce procedural pain during circumcision.

B. Provide IV morphine: IV morphine is not routinely indicated for circumcision in healthy term infants due to the risk of respiratory depression and because less invasive pain control methods are effective.

C. Swaddle the infant: Swaddling provides comfort and a sense of security, reducing pain and distress after circumcision. It is a safe, nonpharmacologic intervention that helps calm the infant during recovery.

D. Apply petroleum daily: Petroleum jelly is typically applied to the circumcision site to prevent the diaper from sticking and protect the healing tissue. However, it is usually applied with each diaper change, not just once daily, to ensure proper care and healing.
