A nurse is teaching a group of clients about ways to prevent sexual transmission of human papillomavirus. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Rationale:
A. Elevate the affected forearm with pillows: Elevation helps reduce swelling and promotes venous return, which is critical in the immediate management of a fracture to prevent complications such as increased edema or impaired circulation.

B. Administer Ibuprofen 200 mg PO: The child reports pain at a level of 5, meeting the prescription threshold. Administering analgesia promptly helps manage discomfort and supports cooperation with further interventions, such as casting.

C. Place a nonadherent dressing on the right knee abrasion: While wound care is important, the abrasion is minor and not the most urgent concern. Prioritization focuses on the fractured limb and pain management.

D. Review cast care instructions with the child's parents: Education is important but is not the immediate priority before the cast is applied. It can be provided after the child is stabilized and pain is managed.

E. Explain the cast application procedure to the child: While preparing the child psychologically is important, immediate interventions to reduce pain and swelling take precedence over anticipatory teaching.

F. Apply ice packs to the fingers and along the right forearm: Ice helps reduce swelling and pain in the acute phase of the fracture. Applying ice in combination with elevation supports circulation and comfort while awaiting casting.

Rationale:
A. A client who reports frequent and painful urination: This client likely has a urinary tract infection, which requires assessment and treatment but is not immediately life-threatening.

B. A client who reports left arm pain following a fall: Pain from trauma requires evaluation, but unless there are signs of impaired circulation or severe injury, it is lower priority than potential neurologic emergencies.

C. A client who has hypertension and reports a severe headache: A severe headache in a client with hypertension may indicate a hypertensive crisis or impending stroke. Immediate assessment is required to prevent life-threatening complications, making this the highest priority.

D. A client who has heart failure and received a diuretic 30 min ago: Monitoring is necessary to assess diuretic effects, but this client is stable and does not require immediate intervention compared with the client at risk for hypertensive emergency.
