A nurse is preparing to witness a client's signature on a consent form for a colon resection. The nurse should recognize that which of the following information should be provided to the client by the provider before signing the form? (Select all that apply.)

A. "Morphine 3.0 mg sub q every 4 hr PRN for pain." Including a trailing zero (3.0 mg) is considered unsafe and is discouraged in medication documentation. It increases the risk of a tenfold overdose if the decimal is missed.
B. "Morphine 3 mg subcutaneous every 4 hr PRN for pain." This entry uses the correct dosage format without a trailing zero, the full term "subcutaneous" instead of abbreviations, and proper medical terminology. It adheres to safe documentation practices as per The Joint Commission guidelines.
C. "Morphine 3 mg SC q 4 hr PRN for pain." The abbreviation “SC” is considered unsafe and prone to misinterpretation. Also, "q" for "every" is discouraged in clinical documentation due to potential misreading and error.
D. "Morphine 3 mg SQ every 4 hr PRN for pain." The abbreviation “SQ” can be misinterpreted or mistaken for “5 every” or other terms. Safe practice requires spelling out “subcutaneous” to prevent errors in medication administration.

A. "Purchase a gift to give to your son from your baby." This is an effective strategy to help a young child feel included and valued, easing the transition and reducing potential jealousy. It fosters a positive emotional connection between the older sibling and the newborn.
B. "Make sure you are holding your baby when your son comes to visit you in the hospital." This may unintentionally make the child feel replaced or left out. It’s better for the parent to be free to hug and reassure the older child during the initial visit.
C. "Use medical terminology when teaching your son about your new baby." Medical terms may confuse or overwhelm a 4-year-old. Simple, age-appropriate language is more effective in helping the child understand the upcoming changes.
D. "Surprise your son with a new bedroom after you bring the baby home." Sudden changes can be disorienting or upsetting for young children. Involving them in the transition process before the baby arrives helps foster a sense of control and comfort.
