A nurse is planning to develop a standard for removal of indwelling urinary catheters from clients following colon resection. Which of the following resources should the nurse use?

Choice A reason: This is not the correct choice because this action is not the nurse's responsibility. Coordinating the team and the plan of care is the role of the case manager or the social worker, who can facilitate communication and collaboration among the different disciplines involved in the client's care.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct choice because this action is not the nurse's responsibility. Ordering durable medical equipment for the client's home is the role of the occupational therapist or the physical therapist, who can assess the client's functional needs and abilities and recommend the appropriate devices.

Choice C reason: This is not the correct choice because this action is not the nurse's responsibility. Helping the client obtain financial assistance is the role of the social worker or the financial counselor, who can identify the client's eligibility and options for funding and insurance coverage.

Choice D reason: This is the correct choice because this action is the nurse's responsibility. Performing a dietary assessment is part of the nursing process and the scope of practice of the nurse, who can evaluate the client's nutritional status and needs and provide education and counseling on diet modifications and interventions.

Choice A reason: Allowing the AP to document the vital signs prior to logging out is not a correct action, as it violates the principles of confidentiality and accountability. The nurse should not share their login credentials or allow anyone else to use their electronic record.

Choice B reason: Logging out so the AP can log in to document the vital signs is the correct action, as it ensures that the documentation is accurate, timely, and secure. The nurse should log out of the electronic record after completing their charting and allow the AP to log in using their own credentials.

Choice C reason: Offering to chart the vital signs for the AP is not a correct action, as it delays the documentation and increases the risk of errors. The nurse should not chart the vital signs for the AP, as they are not the ones who obtained them.

Choice D reason: Recommending the AP come back later when the record is available is not a correct action, as it also delays the documentation and reduces the availability of the electronic record. The nurse should not make the AP wait for the record, as it may affect the continuity of care.
