A nurse is conducting a nutritional class on minerals and electrolytes. The nurse should include which of the following foods is a major source of magnesium?

A) The client reports numbness at the site: Numbness at the insertion site is not a typical finding of infection. It may indicate nerve damage or another issue but is not specific to infection.

B) Purulent drainage noted from the site: Purulent drainage, characterized by pus-like discharge, is a common sign of infection at the insertion site of an intravenous catheter. It suggests the presence of bacteria and inflammation at the site.

C) Skin over the site is sloughing: Sloughing of the skin may occur with severe tissue damage but is not specific to infection. It could indicate other complications such as tissue necrosis or chemical irritation.

D) The vein appears cord-like: A cord-like appearance of the vein, known as thrombophlebitis, can occur with or without infection. It indicates inflammation and clot formation within the vein, which can be a complication of intravenous catheter insertion, but it does not specifically indicate infection.

A. Disenfranchised grief:
Disenfranchised grief occurs when the loss experienced by an individual is not openly acknowledged or socially supported. This type of grief may occur when the relationship with the deceased is not recognized or valued by others, such as in the case of a non-traditional relationship. In this scenario, the client's grief is acknowledged but persists beyond what is considered a typical mourning period, suggesting a different type of grief.

B. Anticipatory grief:
Anticipatory grief occurs when individuals experience feelings of loss before the actual loss or death occurs. This often happens in situations where death is expected due to a terminal illness. Since the client's partner has already died, anticipatory grief does not apply in this case.

C. Prolonged grief:
This is the correct answer. Prolonged grief, also known as complicated grief, occurs when the grieving process persists over an extended period, beyond what is considered typical or socially acceptable. Individuals experiencing prolonged grief may have difficulty accepting the reality of the loss and may continue to experience intense emotions related to the loss for an extended period, often interfering with their daily functioning.

D. Uncomplicated grief:
Uncomplicated grief refers to a normal and typical response to loss that typically resolves over time. While grief is a natural response to loss, uncomplicated grief does not persist for an extended period or significantly impair the individual's ability to function in their daily life. In this scenario, the client's continued inability to accept the loss suggests that the grief may be more complex than uncomplicated grief.
