A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving enteral feedings via ah NG tube. The client has developed hyperosmolar dehydration. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when administering the client's feedings?

A. "Incident report completed. A copy will be placed in the client's medical record." This statement indicates the completion of the incident report but lacks essential information about what incident occurred. It does not provide details necessary for understanding the nature of the incident.
B. "Prescribed dressing change was accidentally omitted during the previous shift." This statement clearly identifies the nature of the incident, stating that a prescribed dressing change was missed. It provides factual information without assigning blame, which is appropriate for an incident report.
C. "A nurse accidentally omitted a prescribed dressing change. Will notify the provider tomorrow." While this statement acknowledges the omission, it lacks details about the incident and focuses on future actions rather than accurately documenting what occurred.
D. "Unable to complete a prescribed dressing change. However, dressing did not appear to be soiled." This statement does not accurately represent the situation. It implies that the dressing change was not completed due to the dressing not appearing soiled, which may not be the case. It does not acknowledge the omission of the prescribed dressing change.

A. "I will take the medication in the morning." - Metformin extended-release tablets are typically taken with the evening meal to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Taking it in the morning may increase the risk of side effects during the day.
B. "I will avoid crushing this medication." - Metformin extended-release tablets should not be crushed, chewed, or broken, as doing so can disrupt the extended-release mechanism, leading to an increased risk of adverse effects or decreased efficacy.
C. "I will take the medication on an empty stomach." - While metformin can be taken with or without food, it is generally recommended to take it with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Taking it on an empty stomach may increase the risk of nausea or upset stomach.
D. "I will expect to gain weight." - Weight loss is a common side effect of metformin, particularly in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, expecting weight gain would indicate a misunderstanding of the medication's effects.
