,PN Live Review Management 2020
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus about
safe home disposal of insulin syringes and needles. Which of the following
statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A) "I'll recap the needles and discard them in their original wrappers in a metal
trash can."
B) "I'll collect the needles in a rigid plastic laundry detergent container and take
them to a hazardous waste facility."
C) "I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for
disposal."
D) "I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half
before I put it in the trash." - "I'll collect the needles in a rigid plastic laundry
detergent container and take them to a hazardous waste facility."

Rationale:
The client should use an impervious container made of heavy plastic, such as a
laundry detergent container, to prevent self-injury. The client can take the
container to a community drop-off program or a hazardous waste facility for
disposal.

-------------------

"I'll recap the needles and discard them in their original wrappers in a metal trash
can."

The client risks injury to themself and others by recapping the needles and
discarding them in a trash can.

--------------------------
"I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for disposal."

,Used needles can puncture a plastic bag and cause injury to the client and others. A
hospital does not provide disposal services for clients.
----------------------------

"I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half before
I put it in the trash."

A folded pie plate could allow needles and syringes to slip out and cause injury to
the client and others. Furthermore, discarded needles cannot be placed in the trash.
They must be taken to a hazardous waste facility and incinerated.

A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a client and recognizes that one of the
established goals is unrealistic. Which of the following actions should the nurse
take?

A) Document the client's noncompliance with the plan of care.
B) Recommend a revision to the plan of care.
C) Discontinue nursing interventions related to the goal.
D) Create a new plan of care. - B) Recommend a revision to the plan of care.

Rationale:

The nurse should recommend a revision to the plan of care to reflect the client's
current state of health and abilities to adhere to the plan.

------------------------
Document the client's noncompliance with the plan of care.

The nurse should provide objective documentation of the client's current state of
health and abilities to comply with the plan.
-------------

Discontinue nursing interventions related to the goal.

, The nurse should not discontinue nursing interventions related to the goal. The
nurse should assist the RN to revise the interventions to meet the goal of the plan
of care.

----------------------------

Create a new plan of care.
It is beyond the scope of practice for the PN to create a new plan of care. The nurse
should assist the RN in revising the client's plan of care.

A nurse observes two assistive personnel (AP) at a client's bedside disagreeing
about the way to bathe a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse
take?

A) Ask the client if they want a bath.
B) Tell the AP to proceed with the client's bath.
C) Ask the AP to speak to the nurse outside the client's room.
D) Request assistance from a security officer. - C) Ask the AP to speak to the nurse
outside the client's room.

Rationale:
The nurse should remove the AP from the client's room and use active listening to
resolve the conflict.

----------------------------

Ask the client if they want a bath.

It is not appropriate to ask the client if they want a bath while the staff is having a
conflict. The conflict should be resolved without involving the client.

-------------

Tell the AP to proceed with the client's bath.
