A client admitted after a motor vehicle accident arrives with a Glasgow coma score (GCS) of 14 with a mild headache. 4 hours later, the client's GCS has decreased to 10, and now has a dilated pupil on the left side. Which of the following acute traumatic brain injuries does the nurse suspect the client has suffered?

Choice A reason: This is correct because resuming a functional role in society is the ultimate goal for a client in the rehabilitative phase of a burn injury. The rehabilitative phase begins when wound healing is complete and lasts until physical and psychosocial recovery is achieved. The nurse should help the client regain independence, self-esteem, and quality of life by providing education, counseling, referrals, and resources.

Choice B reason: This is incorrect because pain management is not a goal, but an intervention for a client in the rehabilitative phase of a burn injury. Pain management is important throughout all phases of burn care, but especially during wound healing and scar formation, which can cause itching, tightness, or hypersensitivity. The nurse should assess the client's pain level and administer analgesics, antipruritics, or moisturizers as ordered.

Choice C reason: This is incorrect because providing continued full support to the client is not a goal, but an intervention for a client in the rehabilitative phase of a burn injury. Providing continued full support to the client can help them cope with physical and emotional challenges, such as scarring, disfigurement, disability, or depression. The nurse should provide emotional support, active listening, positive feedback, and encouragement to the client.

Choice D reason: This is incorrect because preventing infection is not a goal, but an intervention for a client in the rehabilitative phase of a burn injury. Preventing infection is crucial during wound healing and grafting, which can be compromised by bacterial colonization or contamination. The nurse should monitor the client's vital signs, wound appearance, and laboratory results, and administer antibiotics or antiseptics as ordered.

Choice A Reason: This is incorrect because drawing with crayons may be too childish or frustrating for a client with moderate Alzheimer's. Crayons may also pose a choking hazard or cause messes. The nurse should provide activities that are suitable for the client's cognitive and functional level, as well as their interests and preferences.

Choice B Reason: This is incorrect because dangling ribbons or a mobile may be too stimulating or confusing for a client with moderate Alzheimer's. These items may also trigger agitation or wandering behaviors. The nurse should provide activities that are calming and familiar for the client.

Choice C Reason: This is correct because listening to music, watching TV, or videos can be enjoyable and beneficial for a client with moderate Alzheimer's. Music can evoke memories, emotions, and positive responses. TV or videos can provide entertainment, education, and socialization. The nurse should choose music, TV shows, or videos that are appropriate and meaningful for the client.

Choice D Reason: This is incorrect because board games may be too complex or challenging for a client with moderate Alzheimer's. Board games may require memory, concentration, logic, or strategy skills that the client may have lost. The nurse should provide activities that are simple and easy for the client to follow.
