A nurse is teaching a class about providing care within the legal stope of practice to a group of nurses. The nurse should include that which of the following procedures is outside the legal scope of practice for an RN?

A. A child who has acute epiglottitis and is drooling: Acute epiglottitis is a medical emergency that can rapidly progress to airway obstruction and respiratory distress. Drooling is a significant sign of airway compromise in children with epiglottitis due to swelling of the epiglottis. This child requires immediate assessment and intervention to ensure airway patency.
B. A child who has mononucleosis and reports severe fatigue: While mononucleosis can cause severe fatigue, it is not an immediate life-threatening condition compared to acute epiglottitis. Assessment and intervention for severe fatigue can be prioritized after addressing the child with potential airway compromise.
C. A child who has Wilms' tumor and an abdominal mass: Wilms' tumor is a type of kidney cancer that typically presents with an abdominal mass. While it requires timely medical intervention, it is not as urgent as acute epiglottitis, which poses a risk of airway obstruction.
D. A child who has a urinary tract infection and bright red blood in their urine: While a urinary tract infection with hematuria requires assessment and treatment, it is not immediately life-threatening compared to acute epiglottitis. Addressing the child with potential airway compromise takes precedence over evaluating and managing hematuria.

D. "During this test, I will push a button if my baby moves."

Rationale:
A. "This test will tell me if my baby has a genetic problem." - Nonstress testing (NST) is used to evaluate fetal well-being by assessing fetal heart rate accelerations in response to fetal movement. It does not diagnose genetic problems.
B. "I will get oxytocin during this test." - Oxytocin is not typically administered during nonstress testing. NST is a non-invasive procedure that involves placing a fetal heart rate monitor on the mother's abdomen to monitor the baby's heart rate.
C. "During this test, I must not eat or drink anything." - While it's generally recommended to have a snack or meal before the test to encourage fetal movement, fasting is not required for NST unless otherwise instructed by the healthcare provider.
D. "During this test, I will push a button if my baby moves." - This statement demonstrates an understanding of how NST works. The client is instructed to push a button whenever they feel fetal movement, allowing the healthcare provider to correlate fetal movement with changes in the fetal heart rate pattern.
