A nurse is caring for a client during a routine prenatal visit.

Exhibits

Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client’s progress.

Choice A reason: Use Wool Blankets on Your Bed

Using wool blankets is not recommended for clients on home oxygen therapy. Wool and other materials that can generate static electricity pose a fire hazard when used around oxygen. Instead, clients should use cotton or other non-static generating materials to reduce the risk of fire.

Choice B reason: Do Not Adjust the Oxygen Flow Rate

This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching. Clients should not adjust the oxygen flow rate unless instructed by their healthcare provider. The prescribed flow rate is set to meet the client’s specific needs, and any changes could lead to inadequate oxygenation or other complications.

Choice C reason: Store Unused Oxygen Tanks Horizontally

This statement is incorrect. Oxygen tanks should be stored upright and secured to prevent them from falling over. Storing tanks horizontally can increase the risk of damage and potential leaks, which can be hazardous.

Choice D reason: Check Your Oxygen Equipment Once Each Week

While it is important to regularly check oxygen equipment, doing so only once a week may not be sufficient. Clients should check their equipment daily to ensure it is functioning properly and to identify any issues that need to be addressed promptly.

Choice A reason:

The statement “This stage is when testing occurs to identify boundaries of interpersonal behaviors” describes the storming stage of group development. During the storming stage, group members test boundaries and challenge each other, leading to conflicts and disagreements.

Choice B reason:

The norming stage is characterized by the development of group cohesion and consensus. During this stage, group members start to resolve their differences, appreciate each other’s strengths, and work together more effectively. Consensus evolves as the group establishes norms and agrees on common goals.

Choice C reason:

While constructive efforts are part of the norming stage, the statement is too vague to indicate a clear understanding of this specific stage. Constructive efforts can occur in various stages of group development, including performing.

Choice D reason:

Resistance and the formation of subgroups are typical of the storming stage, not the norming stage. In the storming stage, conflicts and power struggles are common as group members assert their opinions and roles.
