A nurse is providing site care for a child who a gastrostomy enteral tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A) Position the client’s head toward Mecca: In Islam, it is customary to position the deceased's body with the head facing toward Mecca, the holy city of Islam. This is an important religious practice and should be followed during postmortem care to respect the deceased's cultural and religious beliefs.

B) Allow a family member of the client to stay with the client’s body until burial: It is customary in many Islamic traditions for a family member to stay with the body, providing comfort and ensuring the body is treated with respect. However, the nurse should ensure this is done within the hospital's policies and in a safe, culturally sensitive manner. This practice should be respected, but it is not the immediate priority for the nurse during postmortem care.
C) Allow a family member to stay with the client’s body for 8hr: While some Islamic traditions may involve family members staying with the body, the nurse should adhere to the specific wishes of the family and the institution's policies. The 8-hour duration is not a specific religious requirement, and the focus should be on providing respectful, appropriate care and ensuring the family’s wishes are honored within the hospital's guidelines.

D) Position the client’s head northward: In Islamic traditions, the body is positioned with the head facing toward Mecca, not northward. Positioning the head in a direction other than toward Mecca would not align with the cultural practices of Islam regarding postmortem care. Therefore, this action would not be appropriate.

A) Orange juice:
Orange juice is high in potassium, with one cup containing a significant amount of the nutrient. For clients who need to limit their potassium intake due to an electrolyte imbalance (such as in kidney disease or hyperkalemia), orange juice should be avoided or consumed in limited amounts.

B) Baked chicken breast:
Baked chicken breast is the lowest in potassium among the options provided. While chicken does contain some potassium, it is relatively low compared to fruits and vegetables. This makes it a better choice for clients needing to limit their potassium intake. Lean meats like chicken are often recommended for clients on a restricted potassium diet.

C) Sweet potato:
Sweet potatoes are very high in potassium, especially when compared to many other vegetables. A serving of sweet potato can contain a large amount of potassium, making it unsuitable for clients who need to manage their potassium levels.

D) Cantaloupe:
Cantaloupe is also high in potassium. A single serving can provide a substantial amount of potassium, which can be problematic for clients with electrolyte imbalances who need to limit their potassium intake.
