A nurse who is leading a team of nurse managers is planning to make a major announcement. The nurse should use which of the following nonverbal communication techniques to enhance the importance of the announcement?

Rationale:

A. A client who was administered erythromycin for acute glomerulonephritis and reports reddish-brown urinary output requires assessment for possible drug reaction or hematuria, but this may not be immediately life-threatening compared to hypoglycemia.

B. A client who was administered glipizide for type 2 diabetes mellitus and has a blood glucose of 68 mg/dL is at risk for hypoglycemia, which requires prompt assessment and intervention to prevent severe complications.

C. A client who was administered adalimumab for Crohn's disease, has a serum calcium level of 10 mg/dL, and reports a headache should be assessed, but the calcium level and headache are less urgent compared to immediate treatment needs for hypoglycemia.

D. A client who was administered acyclovir for cellulitis reports pain in the affected leg may require assessment for infection or medication side effects, but this is less critical than addressing hypoglycemia.

Rationale:

A. Encouraging clients to receive an annual flu immunization is a cost-effective measure to prevent illness and reduce overall healthcare costs.

B. Waiting to empty a drainable colostomy until it is three-fourths full might not be the best practice for client comfort or prevention of leakage.

C. Recommending sterile technique for home care is important for infection prevention but not necessarily a cost-reduction strategy in the healthcare setting.

D. Delegating closed irrigation to AP may not be appropriate if it involves tasks beyond their scope of practice and does not directly relate to cost reduction.
