The nurse has reviewed the Vital Signs at 1000.

For each potential provider prescription, click to specify if the prescription is anticipated or non-anticipated for the client.

A. Reviewing client education: Reviewing education is often part of the termination phase, where teaching is reinforced and the nurse ensures the client understands care plans after the therapeutic relationship ends. It is not a primary focus during the working phase.

B. Identifying problem-solving skills: The working phase focuses on active problem-solving, setting goals, and implementing strategies to address the client's issues. This is when trust is established further, and the nurse and client collaborate on interventions and coping techniques to promote positive outcomes.

C. Summarizing the goals and objectives achieved: Summarizing achievements is part of the termination phase, when the nurse and client reflect on progress made. It helps bring closure to the relationship but does not belong to the working phase where the focus is still on active progress.

D. Specifying a contract: Specifying a contract is a task of the orientation phase, where the structure of the nurse-client relationship, roles, and expectations are defined. This lays the foundation before entering into the problem-solving focus of the working phase.

A. A client who has hearing loss with a friend interpreting: A friend interpreting does not meet the legal standards for ensuring accurate communication during informed consent. A licensed medical interpreter should be used to avoid misunderstandings and to ensure that the client fully understands the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure before consenting.

B. A client who has not spoken with the provider yet: Informed consent requires that the provider explain the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives directly to the client. Without this discussion, the client lacks the necessary information to make an educated decision and cannot legally or ethically provide informed consent.

C. A 15-year-old client whose caregiver is not at the bedside: Minors generally cannot give legal informed consent without a parent or legal guardian present, unless specific exceptions apply (such as for emancipated minors). A 15-year-old without their caregiver present does not meet the criteria for giving valid informed consent for surgical procedures.

D. A married 16-year-old client accompanied by their spouse: A married minor is considered emancipated in most jurisdictions and can legally make healthcare decisions, including providing informed consent. Their marital status grants them the legal autonomy needed to consent to medical treatments without requiring parental involvement.
