A nurse enters a client's room and sees a small fire in the client's bathroom.

Identify the sequence of steps the nurse should take.

(Move the steps, placing them in the order of performance. Use all the steps.)

Choice A rationale:

Upper extremity hypotension is not a common finding in coarctation of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta typically results in narrowing of the aorta, leading to decreased blood flow to the lower part of the body. This can cause weak or absent femoral pulses and lower extremity hypotension, not upper extremity hypotension.

Choice B rationale:

Frequent nosebleeds are not directly associated with coarctation of the aorta. The symptoms of coarctation of the aorta are primarily related to decreased blood flow to the lower extremities, leading to symptoms such as weak femoral pulses, lower extremity hypotension, and leg cramping or pain.

Choice D rationale:

Increased intracranial pressure is not a typical finding in coarctation of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta affects blood flow to the lower part of the body and does not directly impact intracranial pressure.

Choice A rationale:

Using a 12-point font when printing written materials is helpful for readability, especially for individuals with visual impairments. However, this action alone does not necessarily promote meaningful learning. The content and presentation style are equally important.

Choice B rationale:

Presenting information using abstract concepts can be confusing, especially for older adults. Using concrete examples and simple language facilitates better understanding. Abstract concepts are more challenging to grasp, especially for individuals who might be experiencing cognitive decline.

Choice C rationale:

Connecting new information with the client's past experiences enhances learning and retention. Relating new knowledge to familiar situations or memories helps create cognitive associations, making it easier for the client to understand and remember the information. This technique is particularly effective in promoting learning among older adults.

Choice D rationale:

Speaking loudly when addressing the client is unnecessary and can be perceived as rude or patronizing. Clear and audible speech is essential, but shouting or raising the volume excessively is not respectful and does not enhance the learning experience.
