A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results for a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation.

For which of the following results should the nurse notify the provider?

c. The bedroom extension cord is placed under a heavy nightstand.

The nurse should intervene and address the placement of the bedroom extension cord under a heavy nightstand. This poses a safety hazard as it increases the risk of electrical fire or tripping. The nurse shouldmeducate the client about the importance of using proper outlets and avoiding the use of extension cords in general, especially when they are hidden under heavy furniture.

Options a, b, and d do not require immediate intervention by the nurse:

a. The television set turned to a loud volume can be addressed by educating the client about the potential risks of prolonged exposure to loud noises and providing guidance on appropriate volume levels.

b. The presence of low chairs with no armrests in the dining room may not necessarily require immediate intervention unless there are specific safety concerns related to the client's mobility or balance. The nurse may provide general recommendations for safer seating options, especially if the client is at risk of falls or has difficulty getting up from low chairs.

d. The presence of wall-to-wall carpeting in the living room is a common feature in many homes and does not necessarily pose a safety hazard. However, the nurse may discuss general home safety measures, such as keeping the carpet clean and free of tripping hazards, especially for clients with mobility issues.

The instruction that the nurse should include is "You can take a shower 1 day after your procedure." According to the Cleveland Clinic, the morning after the procedure, the client may take the dressing off the catheter insertion site. The easiest way to do this is when showering, get the tape and dressing wet and remove it.

Option a is incorrect because there is no information suggesting that a client must wait 3 days before resuming a regular diet after a cardiac catheterization.

Option c is incorrect because according to the Cleveland Clinic, clients should gradually increase their activities until they reach their normal activity level within one week after the procedure.

Option d is incorrect because there is no information suggesting that a client must wait 1 week before returning to school after cardiac catheterization.
