A nurse is reviewing the employee health program for new employees. Which of the following diagnostic assessments should the nurse recommend for all new employees to screen for the presence of tuberculosis?

A. While explaining the consequences of refusal is important, it may not address the underlying reason for the refusal and should come after identifying the reason.

B. Identifying the reason for the client's refusal is the first step in addressing the issue and may help determine the appropriate intervention.

C. Documenting the client's refusal is important but should not be the first action taken without understanding the reason for the refusal.

D. Informing the provider of the client's refusal may be necessary, but it should come after identifying the reason for the refusal and attempting to address it.

A. Taking the client to the bathroom after a preoperative injection may be unsafe because many preoperative medications can cause sedation or dizziness, increasing the risk of falls.
B. Verification of the surgical site should occur before administration of preoperative medications, as the client may be sedated and unable to participate accurately afterward.
C. Teaching deep breathing and coughing exercises is most effective before sedation, when the client is alert and able to learn and follow instructions.
D. Raising the side rails on the bed is a priority safety measure after administering preoperative sedatives, as it helps prevent falls and injury while the client is drowsy or unsteady.
