A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a child who has asthma about the administration of montelukast. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Copy of the client's advance directives: While advance directives are important documents, they are typically filed with the medical record, not specifically included in postmortem documentation. The focus for postmortem documentation is on the body and relevant events surrounding the death.

B. Cause of the client's death.: The cause of death is typically recorded in the official death certificate, which is not part of postmortem nursing documentation. The nurse should not make a diagnosis about the cause of death but may note any relevant findings.

C. Last set of the client's vital signs: Vital signs taken at the time of death may be noted as part of the clinical documentation, but they are not specifically part of postmortem documentation. The postmortem documentation should focus on observations regarding the body and its condition.

D. Location of the identification tag on the client’s body: The nurse should document the location of identification tags on the body to ensure proper identification and to prevent confusion or errors in postmortem care. This is an important detail in postmortem documentation.

A. "I will increase my fluid intake to 1,700 milliliters per day.": While maintaining hydration is important for people with COPD, 1,700 milliliters may not be sufficient for all individuals. Fluid intake should be tailored to the patient's needs, and the client should be advised to follow specific guidelines from their provider.

B. "I should do aerobic exercises once per day.": This is somewhat correct, as regular exercise is beneficial for people with COPD, but it should be individualized based on the client's current condition and limitations. However, exercise should not be the primary focus of initial teaching for someone newly diagnosed with COPD.

C. "I will consume low-protein, low-calorie foods.": This is incorrect. COPD clients generally need a balanced diet with sufficient protein and calories to support respiratory function and muscle strength. A low-calorie diet may contribute to weight loss and muscle wasting, which can worsen COPD symptoms.

D. "I should practice pursed-lip breathing exercises.": This is correct. Pursed-lip breathing helps to control shortness of breath, improve ventilation, and reduce the work of breathing, which is an important strategy for individuals with COPD to manage their condition.
