A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing hypovolemia.

Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect

The correct answer is choice D. The nurse should include that information technology will install a firewall to secure client information.

A firewall is a system that protects the network from unauthorized access and prevents data breaches. A firewall is essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic health records .

Choice A is wrong because the nurse should change their password more frequently than once per year. Changing passwords regularly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and enhances security .

Choice B is wrong because the documentation of sensitive material is not performed by the charge nurse. The nurse who provides the care should document it accurately and promptly in the computerized system .

Choice C is wrong because the nurse will not be given access to the medical records of every client in the facility. The nurse should only access the records of the clients they are assigned to care for, following the principle of need-to-know .

Choice A reason:

Measuring the arm circumference above the insertion site daily is appropriate. When planning care for a client scheduled to receive a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the arm, it is appropriate for the nurse to include measuring the arm circumference above the insertion site daily. This intervention is essential to monitor for any signs of complications, such as edema or swelling, which could indicate thrombosis or infiltration at the insertion site.

Choice B reason:

Administering sedation Administering sedation is not a routine intervention for a PICC insertion procedure is inappropriate. Sedation might be considered for certain procedures, but it is not typically used for PICC insertions. PICC insertions are generally performed with local anaesthesia at the insertion site.

Choice C reason:

Scheduling an MRI post procedure to verify placement An MRI is not typically used to verify the placement of a PICC. The placement of a PICC is usually confirmed using X-ray or other imaging methods that can visualize the catheter's location within the central veins. Post-procedure verification of PICC placement is essential to ensure proper positioning and to prevent complications.

Choice D reason:

Using gauze to secure an arm board to the involved extremity Using gauze to secure an arm board to the involved extremity is not a common practice for securing a PICC. After a PICC insertion, a securement device specifically designed for PICCs is typically used to secure the catheter in place and prevent movement.
