The nurse understands that caring for a woman with gestational diabetic complications is exhibited as an example of.
Caring for a woman with gestational diabetes complications falls under health restoration. Health restoration involves actions taken to return a patient to their previous state of health or to manage chronic conditions. This includes managing and treating complications to improve health outcomes. Health promotion focuses on preventing health problems through lifestyle changes, health maintenance involves ongoing monitoring and prevention of deterioration, and health rehabilitation focuses on helping patients recover functionality after severe illness or injury.
A nurse is examining a 24-month-old child with hydrocephalus for the development of later signs of hydrocephalus.
Which of the following signs the nurse would find?
In a 24-month-old child with hydrocephalus, later signs of the condition include frontal bossing, which is the prominent, protruding forehead caused by the enlargement of the frontal bone. This is a characteristic feature of chronic hydrocephalus. Bulging fontanels, separated sutures, and dilated scalp veins are typically earlier signs of hydrocephalus seen in younger infants before the cranial sutures close. As the child ages, frontal bossing becomes more apparent due to prolonged intracranial pressure.
While reviewing medication charts, the nurse observed that one patient received a wrong medication that was prescribed for another patient with similar first and last name.
What is the BEST nursing action for reporting the incident?
The best nursing action for reporting a medication error is to report and document the incident immediately. Prompt reporting ensures that the error is addressed quickly to prevent harm to the patient, allows for accurate documentation, and initiates the process for investigation and prevention of future errors. While assessing the patient and informing a senior nurse are also necessary steps, immediate documentation is the priority to ensure patient safety and compliance with legal and professional standards.
A nurse aims to establish a respectful therapeutic relationship with a patient.
Which of the following actions is MOST appropriate to achieve this?
Establishing a respectful therapeutic relationship involves actively including the client's ideas, preferences, and opinions in their care planning. This action demonstrates respect for the client's autonomy and individuality, fostering trust and cooperation. Discussing non-health-related topics may help build rapport but does not directly contribute to a therapeutic relationship. Being congruent and understanding the client's thoughts and feelings are important but are part of the overall communication process rather than a specific action to establish respect in the relationship.
