Correct Answer is B

Explanation

B. Comparing the client's pain scale rating with the prescribed dosing ensures that the nurse selects the appropriate medication and dosage based on the severity of the client's pain. This action helps ensure safe and effective pain management by matching the intensity of the client's pain with the appropriate analgesic medication and dose.
A. Although this may be relevant in some situations, particularly if the client's pain requires rapid relief, the nurse should prioritize selecting the medication and dose based on the severity of the client's pain rather than solely on the onset of action.
C. The process does not address the immediate need to select the appropriate analgesic medication for the client's pain.
D. This may not be appropriate, especially if the client is in pain or unable to make an informed decision about which medication to choose.

A. Release the traction so the client can use a bedpan. B. Log roll the client and place adult disposable briefs beneath the client. C. Insert an indwelling urinary catheter preoperatively. D. Maintain traction while the client uses a urinal.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Releasing traction to use a bedpan may cause pain and discomfort to the client and risk exacerbating the fracture or compromising the alignment needed for surgery.
B. Log rolling the client and placing adult disposable briefs beneath them may not be suitable because it involves movement that can disrupt traction and worsen the client's pain.
Additionally, disposable briefs may not adequately manage urinary output, especially for a client awaiting surgery.

C.While using a catheter can be an option, it is generally not the first intervention unless the client is unable to void by other means or has a specific indication for catheterization. It carries risks, including infection, and should be considered carefully.
D. The nurse can assist the client in using a urinal while ensuring that traction is maintained. This allows the client to urinate without disrupting the traction setup, minimizing the risk of complications associated with the fracture.
