A nurse administers the wrong medication to a client.
After assessing the client, the nurse contacts the provider and completes an incident report.
Which of the following components of professionalism is the nurse demonstrating?

The correct answer is Choice B: A client who has a family history of breast cancer is scheduled for a mammogram.

Choice A rationale:

Receiving an influenza vaccination is an example of primary prevention, which aims to prevent the onset of disease.

Choice B rationale:

Scheduling a mammogram for a client with a family history of breast cancer is an example of secondary prevention. Secondary prevention involves the early detection and treatment of disease to reduce the impact of the disease. Mammograms help in the early detection of breast cancer, which can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Choice C rationale:

Not scheduling tests for an asymptomatic client does not relate to secondary prevention. Secondary prevention involves screening and early detection of diseases in at-risk populations.

Choice D rationale:

Scheduling an echocardiogram for a client with heart failure is an example of tertiary prevention. Tertiary prevention aims to reduce the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects by helping patients manage long-term, complex health problems.

Choice A rationale:

Phlebitis is inflammation of a vein, often associated with pain, redness, and warmth at the catheter site. In this case, the client's catheter site is described as cool and taut, which is not consistent with the manifestations of phlebitis.

Choice B rationale:

Infection typically presents with signs such as redness, warmth, swelling, and pain at the catheter site. The description of the client's catheter site as cool and taut is not indicative of infection.

Choice C rationale:

The client's symptoms, including a cool and taut catheter site and IV fluid leaking, are indicative of infiltration. Infiltration occurs when IV fluids inadvertently enter the surrounding tissue instead of the vein. It can lead to localized swelling and discomfort.

Choice D rationale:

Circulatory overload is characterized by symptoms such as shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, and tachycardia. These symptoms are not consistent with the client's description of a cool and taut catheter site with IV fluid leaking.
