A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client. At which of the following times should the nurse compare the medication administration record and the medication label? (Select all that apply.)

A. Occupational therapist: While occupational therapists may be involved in the client's care post-stroke to address functional abilities and activities of daily living, including feeding and meal preparation, they are not specifically trained to assess and treat swallowing disorders like a speech-language pathologist.

B. Physical therapist: Physical therapists focus on improving mobility, strength, balance, and coordination. While they play a crucial role in stroke rehabilitation, particularly in addressing gait and motor deficits, they are not typically involved in the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders.

C. Social worker: Social workers provide support and resources to clients and their families to address psychosocial and practical concerns related to illness, disability, and rehabilitation. While they may be involved in the client's care for broader support needs, they are not specifically trained to address swallowing disorders like a speech-language pathologist.

D. Speech-language pathologist

A speech-language pathologist specializes in evaluating and treating communication and swallowing disorders. In this scenario, the client's coughing during swallowing indicates a potential swallowing disorder, known as dysphagia, which is common after a stroke. The speech-language pathologist is trained to assess the client's swallowing function, identify any impairments, and develop a treatment plan to improve swallowing safety and efficiency. They may recommend strategies and exercises to address the client's coughing and prevent complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

A. "I will walk three times per week."

Regular weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, are beneficial for maintaining bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis in older adults. Weight-bearing activities help stimulate bone formation and strengthen bones. Therefore, the client's statement about walking three times per week demonstrates an understanding of an effective measure for reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

B. "I will avoid exposure to the sun." - Exposure to sunlight is essential for vitamin D synthesis, which helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bone health. Therefore, avoiding sunlight would not be beneficial for reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

C. "I will decrease my intake of dairy products." - Dairy products are a rich source of calcium, which is crucial for bone health. Decreasing intake of dairy products may lead to inadequate calcium intake, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

D. "I will take 250 milligrams of calcium once per day." - While calcium supplementation is important for maintaining bone health, the recommended daily intake for older adults is higher than 250 milligrams. The client's statement suggests an inadequate understanding of calcium supplementation for osteoporosis prevention.
