A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about workplace bullying. Which of the following should the nurse include in the discussion as an example of workplace bullying?

A. The client is allergic to penicillin: Medication allergies are critical for the nurse and prescriber to know, but they are not directly relevant to occupational therapy planning.

B. The client's parent is in a skilled nursing facility: While this may influence social support, it is not directly relevant to the client’s rehabilitation needs or adaptive strategies for activities of daily living.

C. The client has two small children at home: Knowing family responsibilities can help plan overall care, but the specific home environment is more critical for occupational therapy interventions.

D. The client lives in a two-story home: The home environment, including stairs, affects mobility, accessibility, and safety after amputation. Reporting this information is essential for planning adaptive equipment, home modifications, and safe discharge.

Rationale:

A. Dietitian: A dietitian focuses on nutritional needs, which may be beneficial if the client has dietary concerns, but this does not directly address mobility issues related to lower extremity weakness.

B. Physical therapy: Physical therapists specialize in improving strength, balance, and mobility. A referral will help the client develop exercises and strategies to enhance function and reduce fall risk.

C. Case manager: A case manager coordinates healthcare services, but they do not directly provide rehabilitation for weakness. They may be involved later to arrange additional resources after therapy needs are determined.

D. Social services: Social services assist with psychosocial needs, financial support, and community resources, but they are not the primary referral for addressing physical mobility limitations.
