A nurse in an acute mental health facility is teaching a client about the potential adverse effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation.
The nurse tells the client that he might feel lightheaded, but that it should not affect his memory.
The nurse is demonstrating which of the following ethical principles?

- A. This choice is correct because a child who has autism spectrum disorder often exhibits strict adherence to routines and rituals, and may become distressed or agitated when there are changes or disruptions to their usual patterns.

- B. This choice is incorrect because difficulty paying attention to tasks is not a specific manifestation of autism spectrum disorder, but rather a common symptom of attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A child who has autism spectrum disorder may have difficulty focusing on tasks that are not of interest to them, but may also show intense concentration on tasks that are of interest to them.

- C. This choice is incorrect because disobedience to authority figures is not a specific manifestation of autism spectrum disorder, but rather a common behavior problem in children and adolescents. A child who has autism spectrum disorder may have difficulty understanding social cues and expectations, but may also show compliance and cooperation when given clear instructions and positive reinforcement.

- D. This choice is incorrect because excessive anxiety when separated from parents is not a specific manifestation of autism spectrum disorder, but rather a common symptom of separation anxiety disorder. A child who has autism spectrum disorder may have difficulty forming attachments and expressing emotions, but may also show affection and attachment to familiar people.

- A. Correct. The nurse should turn off the CPM machine during mealtime, as it can interfere with the client's ability to eat and drink comfortably. The nurse should also turn off the CPM machine when transferring or repositioning the client, or when performing wound care or other interventions on the affected leg.

- B. Incorrect. The nurse should maintain the client's affected hip in a neutral position, as external rotation can cause malalignment of the prosthesis and impair healing. The nurse should use pillows or wedges to support the leg and prevent rotation or abduction of the hip joint.

- C. Incorrect. The nurse should not instruct the client how to adjust the CPM settings, as this can compromise the prescribed range of motion and speed of the device. The nurse should follow the provider's orders and check with them before making any changes to the CPM settings. The nurse should also monitor the client's pain level and administer analgesics as needed to facilitate compliance with the therapy.

- D. Incorrect. The nurse should not store the CPM machine under the client's bed when not in use, as this can pose a safety hazard and damage the equipment. The nurse should place the CPM machine on a stable surface near the bed and ensure that it is plugged into a grounded outlet and has adequate battery backup in case of power failure.
