A nurse is interpreting the cardiac rhythm strip of a client who was admitted with syncope.
Which of the following images indicates that the client has atrial fibrillation?

A. Detaching the needle from the syringe before discarding it increases the risk of needlestick injuries and is not recommended.

B. Placing broken glass in a wastebasket increases the risk of injury to housekeeping staff; it should be disposed of in a puncture-proof container.

C. Recapping needles increases the risk of needlestick injuries and is not recommended unless there are no alternatives available.

D. Placing lancets in a puncture-proof container is the correct procedure for preventing puncture injuries, as it safely contains sharp objects and reduces the risk of accidental needlesticks.

- A. Clothing the newborn in light cotton is not recommended because it can block the light from reaching the skin, which is necessary for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia through phototherapy.
- B. Checking the newborn's temperature every 8 hours is not frequent enough; during phototherapy, it is important to monitor the newborn's temperature more frequently to ensure they do not become too cold or too warm as a result of the therapy.
- C. Administering water between feedings is not recommended as it can interfere with the newborn's feeding schedule and nutrition; breast milk or formula provides adequate hydration unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare provider.
- D. Placing the newborn 45 cm (18 in) from the light source is the correct intervention. This distance allows for optimal exposure to the light while ensuring the safety and comfort of the newborn, as recommended in clinical guidelines for effective phototherapy.
