A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an ankle injury and requires crutches. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?

A. "Provide informational updates to members of the media" is incorrect. This task typically falls under the responsibility of the hospital’s public relations or communications team. Nurses do not usually handle media updates in the context of mass casualty events.

B. "Assist in discharging stable clients to home" is correct. During a mass casualty event, it is important to make room for incoming patients. Discharging stable patients helps free up beds and resources for those who need immediate care.

C. "Delegate tasks to emergency health care specialists" is incorrect. While nurses may delegate some tasks, the nurse’s primary responsibility in this scenario would be managing care within the medical-surgical unit, not directing emergency health care specialists.

D. "Determine the acuity and number of casualties arriving at the facility" is incorrect. This task is generally managed by triage teams or emergency management staff who assess incoming patients at the point of injury or arrival at the facility.

A. Oranges is incorrect. Oranges are not a choking hazard as long as they are peeled and cut into small pieces for a toddler. The nurse should not include oranges in a list of choking hazards for toddlers.

B. Potatoes is incorrect. Potatoes themselves are not a choking hazard for toddlers, though whole or large pieces could pose a risk. The risk comes from how the food is prepared, not the food itself. If properly cooked and mashed or cut into small pieces, potatoes are safe.

C. Grapes is correct. Grapes are a common choking hazard for toddlers because they are small, round, and can easily block the airway if not properly cut into small pieces. The nurse should definitely include grapes in the pamphlet as a choking hazard.

D. Corn is incorrect. Corn kernels are not typically a choking hazard for toddlers unless they are served as whole kernels, which could pose a risk if not chewed properly. However, corn in the form of pureed corn or small pieces is safe for toddlers to eat.
