A nurse is collecting data from a client about bowel elimination. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a risk for impaired bowel elimination?

Rationale:

A. Telling the nurse that permission from the risk manager is required to view the client's record is not accurate and may not address the situation appropriately.

B. Contacting facility security to remove the nurse from the unit is not necessary and may not address the situation appropriately.

C. Completing an incident report about the breach of confidentiality may be appropriate later if the situation escalates or if there is no resolution after speaking to the nurse. However, the immediate step is to address the breach directly.

D. Reminding the nurse that only staff caring for the client may access the client's record is the correct action. The nurse should remind the colleague that access to a client's medical record is restricted to those directly involved in their care. This respects patient confidentiality and complies with legal and ethical guidelines.

A. Opening the outside cover of the sterile kit and removing the dust cover exposes the sterile supplies within the kit.
B. Grasping the outermost flap of the sterile kit while opening away from the body helps maintain the sterility of the contents within the kit.

C. Preparing a dry work surface above the waist level ensures that the sterile field is established at a proper height and that the nurse's hands are at the appropriate level for working within the sterile field.
D. Opening the innermost lower flap of the sterile kit while standing away from the sterile field allows the nurse to access the sterile supplies without contaminating the sterile field.
E. Opening each side flap of the sterile kit individually while pulling to the side further establishes the sterile field and provides access to the sterile supplies.
