A nurse is reinforcing teaching about complete and incomplete proteins with a client who has a prescription for a high-protein diet. The nurse should identify which of the following foods as sources of complete proteins? (Select all that apply.)

A. Store the fire extinguisher in a locked cabinet: Fire extinguishers should be stored in an accessible location, not locked away. In an emergency, immediate access is critical, and a locked cabinet could delay response and worsen fire hazards.

B. Aim the extinguisher at the top of the fire and move downward: The correct technique is to aim at the base of the fire, where the fuel source is located. Spraying at the flames themselves is ineffective because it does not interrupt the combustion process at its source.

C. Sweep the extinguisher from side to side to put out the fire: Once aimed at the base of the fire, sweeping from side to side ensures the extinguishing agent covers the entire fuel source, maximizing effectiveness and helping to prevent re-ignition. This is the recommended method for safe and efficient fire suppression.

D. Open the windows prior to discharging the fire extinguisher: Opening windows before using an extinguisher can increase oxygen flow to the fire, potentially making it burn more intensely. Fire suppression should be performed with doors and windows closed if possible to limit oxygen supply and contain the fire.

A. Accountability: Accountability refers to the nurse being responsible for their actions, decisions, and the outcomes of care provided. While important, simply explaining the purpose of a medication does not directly demonstrate accountability.

B. Autonomy: Autonomy involves supporting a client’s right to make informed decisions about their own care. The nurse’s explanation provides information but does not itself constitute enabling the client’s decision-making; additional discussion and consent would be required to demonstrate autonomy.

C. Veracity: Veracity is the ethical principle of truthfulness. By accurately explaining that furosemide is a diuretic that removes excess fluid, the nurse is providing truthful, clear information, allowing the client to understand their treatment and fostering trust.

D. Justice: Justice involves treating clients fairly and equitably, ensuring equal access to care and resources. Explaining the purpose of a prescribed medication is not an example of justice, as it pertains to truthful communication rather than fairness or resource allocation.
