A home health nurse is teaching a guardian about administering tube feedings to their 3-
month-old infant. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

 

 

 

 

A. Insisting the client use direct eye contact may be intimidating or uncomfortable for the client, especially in a mental health setting where individuals may have varying levels of comfort with eye contact.

B. Seating the client at such a distance may create a physical barrier and hinder effective communication between the nurse and the client.

C. Positioning the client's chair between the nurse's chair and the door may make the client feel trapped or uncomfortable, especially during a sensitive interview.

D. Leaning in slightly when speaking to the client demonstrates attentiveness and facilitates a sense of closeness and engagement in the conversation, which can help build rapport and trust.

The nurse should first administer the client's cefazolinto the client's IV access

Rationale:

Cefazolin is an antibiotic prescribed to treat the client's suspected infection indicated by the fever and hip surgical wound inflammation. Administering the antibiotic promptly is essential to initiate treatment and address the underlying cause of the fever. The prescription specifies administering cefazolin intravenously, so the nurse should prioritize administering it through the client's IV access. Administering acetaminophen or alprazolam may be appropriate based on the client's symptoms and vital signs, but addressing the infection with antibiotics takes precedence.
