A nurse case manager is coordinating care for a client.History and physical:

Client has terminal lung cancer and is not expected to live more than 6 months.

Select the 3 community resources the nurse should refer the client

A. A client who is receiving heparin and has an aPTT of 34 seconds: While monitoring heparin therapy is important, this client's condition does not necessarily require an interdisciplinary conference at this time.
B. A client who has orthostatic hypotension and is receiving IV fluids: Management of orthostatic hypotension and IV fluids may require coordination among nursing and medical staff, but it may not necessitate an interdisciplinary conference unless there are significant
complications or complex care needs.

C. A client who has Type 1 diabetes and uses an insulin pump: While managing diabetes may involve coordination between nursing and other healthcare professionals, clients using insulin
pumps typically have established care plans and may not require an interdisciplinary conference unless there are specific issues or changes in management.
D. A client who is at risk for pressure ulcers and has an albumin level of 4.2 g/dL: This is the correct answer. Clients at risk for pressure ulcers often require input from multiple disciplines, including nursing, wound care specialists, nutritionists, and possibly physical therapists, to develop and implement comprehensive care plans aimed at preventing pressure ulcers and
promoting wound healing. An interdisciplinary conference can facilitate coordination of care and ensure all aspects of the client's needs are addressed.

A. Obtains client intake and output instead of delegating the task to an assistive personnel: While it may demonstrate initiative, effective time management involves delegating appropriate tasks to assistive personnel to maximize efficiency.
B. Skips lunch to catch up on client documentation: Skipping meals is not a sustainable or healthy time management strategy and may indicate poor self-care practices.
C. Reviews a client's medical record before performing a prescribed dressing change: This is the correct answer. Reviewing the client's medical record before performing a procedure ensures that the nurse is well-prepared and can perform the task efficiently and safely.
D. Documents medications administered throughout the shift at the end of the day: Documenting medications at the end of the day may lead to inaccuracies and delays in care. Timely and accurate documentation is essential for effective patient care.
