A home health nurse is teaching a new parent about caring for his 1-week-old infant. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A reason: Holding a debriefing is post-incident, not a priority during restraint use; observing movement ensures safety. Assuming debriefing is immediate risks neglecting client monitoring, potentially causing injury, critical to avoid in ensuring safe restraint use and client well-being in acute behavioral situations.

Choice B reason: Observing range of movement during restraints ensures proper application, preventing injury like nerve damage or circulation issues, critical for client safety. This ongoing assessment adheres to restraint protocols, essential for minimizing harm, ensuring ethical care, and supporting de-escalation in aggressive clients.

Choice C reason: Maintaining sensory stimulation is inappropriate during restraints, as it may escalate agitation; observing movement is priority. Assuming stimulation is needed risks worsening aggression, potentially prolonging restraint use, critical to avoid in ensuring calm and safe management of clients in mechanical restraints.

Choice D reason: Identifying stressors is important but secondary to ensuring physical safety by observing movement during restraints. Assuming stressors are the immediate focus risks neglecting restraint safety, potentially causing injury, critical to prevent in ensuring proper monitoring and care in aggressive client situations.

Choice A reason: Discussing communication methods addresses client behaviors but not the caregiver’s stress from constant care. A daycare program offers respite. Focusing on communication risks neglecting caregiver well-being, potentially worsening burnout, critical to avoid in supporting caregivers of Alzheimer’s clients with high care demands.

Choice B reason: Suggesting antipsychotics for the client addresses behavior but not caregiver stress, and is inappropriate without medical evaluation. Daycare provides relief. Assuming medication is the solution risks unnecessary drug use, potentially causing side effects, critical to avoid in supporting caregiver health and client safety.

Choice C reason: Allowing the client time alone is unsafe for Alzheimer’s patients due to wandering risks and does not relieve caregiver stress. Daycare is effective. Assuming alone time helps risks client safety and caregiver burden, critical to prevent in ensuring comprehensive care for Alzheimer’s clients and caregivers.

Choice D reason: Assisting with a daycare program provides respite, reducing caregiver stress and preventing burnout while ensuring client safety. This intervention supports caregiver well-being, critical for sustained care quality, promoting mental health, and enabling effective management of Alzheimer’s disease in home settings with high care demands.
