A nurse is collecting a urine specimen for culture and sensitivity from a client who has an indwelling urinary catheter.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A rationale

A repressed grief response, where an individual avoids expressing their grief, is considered delayed grief, not exaggerated grief. This can manifest as physical symptoms or psychological issues later on.

Choice B rationale

Grief that begins following a terminal diagnosis is anticipatory grief, which is a normal response as individuals begin to process the impending loss. It prepares them emotionally for the eventual death.

Choice C rationale

Exaggerated grief involves intense, prolonged, and often harmful reactions such as self-destructive behaviors. This type of grief can significantly impair a person's ability to function and may require professional intervention.

Choice D rationale

A grief response triggered by a secondary loss (e.g., loss of job or home) is known as cumulative grief. While it complicates the grieving process, it does not inherently lead to the exaggerated, self-destructive behaviors seen in exaggerated grief.

Choice A rationale

Injecting air into the ampule prior to drawing the medication into a syringe can cause the medication to spill and is not a safe practice.

Choice B rationale

Adding 0.5 mL of diluent to the medication is not a standard procedure for medication administration from an ampule and can lead to incorrect dosing.

Choice C rationale

Using a filter needle to aspirate the medication is important to prevent glass particles from the broken ampule from entering the syringe and being administered to the patient.

Choice D rationale

Cleansing the tip of the ampule with an alcohol swab after opening is unnecessary, as the medication is already inside the sealed ampule, and it can increase the risk of contamination.
