A nurse is assessing a client two weeks postpartum. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further evaluation?

A. Complete activities with one client before moving to another client: Focusing on only one client at a time can reduce efficiency, especially when tasks can be clustered. Effective time management often involves grouping similar tasks across clients to minimize unnecessary movement and interruptions.

B. Plan a time at the end of the shift to document nursing interventions: Delaying documentation until the end of the shift increases the risk of omissions and inaccuracies. Timely, ongoing documentation throughout the shift supports accuracy and safe continuity of care.

C. Make a priority to-do list at the beginning of the shift: Creating a prioritized task list helps the nurse organize care based on urgency and client needs. This approach improves efficiency and ensures that high-priority interventions are addressed first.

D. Delegation of vital signs to the assistive personnel on the team: Delegating routine tasks such as vital signs allows the nurse to focus on assessments and interventions requiring professional judgment. Appropriate delegation is a key strategy for effective time management.

E. Keep track of how long it takes to complete certain tasks: Monitoring how long tasks take helps the nurse plan more realistically and adjust workflow. This awareness supports better scheduling and improved efficiency over time.

A. Wheat bread: Wheat bread is relatively low in potassium compared with fruits, vegetables, and juices. It is generally appropriate for clients who require potassium restriction due to renal disease or certain electrolyte imbalances.

B. Orange juice: Orange juice is high in potassium and can significantly increase serum potassium levels. It is commonly restricted in clients who must limit potassium intake to prevent hyperkalemia.

C. Sweet potato: Sweet potatoes contain a high amount of potassium, especially when baked or mashed. They are typically avoided in low-potassium diets because they can rapidly elevate potassium levels.

D. Canned green beans: Although canned vegetables have less potassium than fresh ones due to processing, green beans still contain more potassium than wheat bread. They are not the lowest potassium option.
