A nurse is providing teaching to a client about ways to improve their health.
Which of the following modifiable risk factors should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale:

Administering a scheduled pain medication for a client who is in pain is an act of beneficence rather than autonomy. Beneficence focuses on doing good for the patient, while autonomy involves respecting the patient's right to make choices about their care.

Choice B rationale:

Fulfilling a promise to a client to return with their pain medication is related to veracity and accountability rather than autonomy. Autonomy pertains to the patient's ability to make choices regarding their care.

Choice D rationale:

Providing nonpharmacological pain interventions equally to all clients is related to justice and fairness rather than autonomy. Autonomy involves respecting an individual's right to make decisions about their treatment. Now, let's move on to the next question.

Choice A rationale:

Establishing whether the client's grieving is healthy or complicated is the first step in the nursing process when caring for a client experiencing grief. This step falls under the assessment phase of the nursing process and is essential for understanding the client's needs and planning appropriate care.

Choice B rationale:

Developing client-specific goals and outcomes comes after the assessment phase in the planning stage of the nursing process. While important, it is not the first action the nurse should take in this situation.

Choice C rationale:

Incorporating the treatment into the client's care occurs during the implementation phase of the nursing process and follows assessment and planning. This is not the first action.

Choice D rationale:

Determining whether coping strategies were successful is part of the evaluation phase of the nursing process, which occurs after the implementation of care. It is not the first step in this situation. Now, let's proceed to the final question.
