A nurse is assessing a client who has a history of violent behaviors. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse recognize as a risk for violent behaviors?

A. Have the client roll onto a transfer board and pull the board onto the stretcher: Rolling the client onto a transfer board can be difficult and potentially dangerous, especially for an immobile client. It is safer to use a slide board with assistance to ensure the transfer.

B. Move the client onto the stretcher using a slide board with the assistance of two health care workers: A slide board, along with the assistance of two health care workers, ensures a safer and more controlled transfer of the immobile client, minimizes the risk of injury to both the client and the healthcare workers.

C. Apply a transfer belt to the client prior to transferring to the stretcher: A transfer belt is used for clients who are able to assist in the transfer, but it is not appropriate for immobile clients. Using a slide board with assistance is safer for transferring a client who is immobile.

D. Move the client's upper body onto the stretcher first: It is important to maintain a proper and safe method by transferring the entire body at once. Moving the upper body first could result in uneven weight distribution and increase the risk of injury during the transfer.

A. "Let me clarify that you want the medication given gid, correct?": When receiving a telephone prescription, it is essential to clarify any unclear aspects of the order, such as the dosage frequency. This ensures that the prescription is accurately understood and implemented and helps prevent medication errors.

B. "Will you please spell the name of that medication for me?": Although confirming the medication name is important, it is more critical to clarify the specific directions for administering the medication, such as the frequency, rather than spelling.

C. "I will sign my name now and leave a space for you to sign your name.": Offering to leave a space for the provider's signature is standard practice. However, it's not the most critical communication safety check during the verbal order itself.

D. "Let me provide you with the client's medical record number for identification.": While important for ensuring correct patient identification, the nurse should first focus on accurately obtaining the medication prescription and other critical details before providing identification information.
