A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with a client who has constipation about appropriate food choices. Which of the following food selections by the client demonstrates an understanding of the teaching?

An incident report is a tool used to document any unexpected or adverse event that occurs in the healthcare setting. It is important to report incidents to ensure proper investigation, analysis, and implementation of measures to prevent future occurrences.

In this example, the incident involves an error with an electronic IV pump resulting in the delivery of an incorrect amount of fluid, which can have serious implications for the client's safety and well-being.

The other examples listed may require further actions but may not necessarily require an incident report:

1. A nurse discovers that a client's family member has administered a PCA dose: While it is concerning that a client's family member administered a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) dose, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention, education, and communication with the healthcare provider. An incident report may not be necessary unless there are further complications or system issues related to this incident.
2. A nurse observes another nurse remove wrist restraints one at a time from a client who is currently calm: While the observation of improper restraint removal raises concerns about proper restraint protocol, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention and communication with the involved nurse and healthcare provider. Depending on the severity of the situation, an incident report may or may not be warranted, but it is not the primary action in this case.
3. A nurse observes a client vomiting after receiving an oral pain medication: While it is important to assess and address the client's condition and any adverse reactions, such as vomiting after receiving medication, it may not necessarily require an incident report. The nurse should assess the client, notify the healthcare provider, and document the incident appropriately in the client's medical record.

Explanation

A.8 oz chopped hard-boiled egg

Eggs are considered a complete protein source, meaning they contain all essential amino acids that the body needs. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein and provide essential nutrients. Chopped hard-boiled eggs, in particular, can be easily added to salads, sandwiches, or consumed on their own.

8 oz brown rice in (option B) is incorrect because brown rice is a healthy carbohydrate source, it is not a significant source of protein.

8 oz fruit yogurt in (option C) is incorrect because fruit yogurt may contain some protein, but the protein content is generally lower compared to other sources such as eggs.

8 oz raw spinach in (option D) is incorrect because spinach is a nutrient-rich vegetable, it is not a significant source of protein.
