A client who had surgery for cataract removal and lives in a rural location

A client who has hemiparesis and lives alone

A client who requires assistance to pay for dressing supplies

A client who requires instruction regarding medication administration

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. Incorrect. While living in a rural location may present challenges, cataract surgery typically does not require an interdisciplinary care conference unless there are significant complicating factors.
B. Correct. A client who has hemiparesis and lives alone likely requires coordination of care from multiple disciplines to address safety concerns, functional limitations, and support needs. C. Incorrect. While assistance with dressing supplies may require coordination with social services or financial assistance programs, it does not necessarily warrant an interdisciplinary care conference.
D. Incorrect. While medication administration instructions are important, they can typically be addressed by the nursing staff without requiring an interdisciplinary care conference.

A. Document in the client's medical record every 15 min. B. Offer toileting to the client every 4 hr. C. Remove the restraint when the client falls asleep. D. Request that the provider write an as-needed prescription for restraints.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Documenting in the client's medical record every 15 minutes is essential to monitor the client's status, including physical and psychological well-being, while in restraints. Accurate documentation ensures that any changes or responses to the intervention are recorded and communicated to other healthcare providers.
B. Offering toileting to the client every 4 hours may be necessary depending on the client's

individual needs, but it does not address the immediate need for monitoring the client's safety and well-being while restrained.
C. Removing the restraint when the client falls asleep is not appropriate without a healthcare provider's order. Restraints should only be removed based on a specific criteria set forth by
institutional policies or as directed by the healthcare provider.

D. Requesting an as-needed prescription for restraints is not appropriate. Restraints should only be used when necessary to ensure the safety of the client or others, and their use should be based on a healthcare provider's assessment and orders.
