A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client following an upper gastrointestinal series using barium contrast.Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale

Leaving the television on in the client's room can cause confusion and agitation in clients with dementia, leading to an increased risk of falls.

Choice B rationale

Applying a motion sensor mat to the client's bed is an effective way to alert staff if the client attempts to get out of bed, thereby reducing the risk of falls.

Choice C rationale

Raising all four side rails can be considered a form of restraint and can increase the risk of injury if the client attempts to climb over them.

Choice D rationale

Moving the overbed table away from the bed removes a potential source of support for the client when they attempt to get up, increasing the risk of falls. .

Choice A rationale

Applying ice to burns can cause tissue damage and frostbite. Large blisters should not be ruptured, and ice should not be applied directly to the skin. Instead, running cool water helps to cool the burn.

Choice B rationale

Burns should be covered with a sterile, non-stick dressing to protect the area and prevent infection. Keeping the burn open to air increases the risk of contamination and infection.

Choice C rationale

Running cool water over the burn for several minutes can help to reduce pain, swelling, and tissue damage. It prevents the burn from worsening and aids in soothing the affected area.

Choice D rationale

Administering ibuprofen helps manage pain and inflammation associated with minor burns. It can provide relief and promote comfort for the client while the burn heals.
