A nurse is caring for a client who follows a kosher diet.
Which of the following menu items should the nurse include on the tray?

Choice A rationale:

Tilt your head forward while inhaling is not an appropriate instruction for using an albuterol metered-dose inhaler (MDI) In fact, it is recommended to keep the head in a neutral position while using an MDI to ensure proper delivery of the medication to the lungs. Tilted head positions can lead to ineffective inhalation and may result in the medication being deposited in the mouth or throat rather than reaching the lungs. Therefore, choice A is not the correct answer.

Choice B rationale:

Exhale immediately after inhaling is not an accurate instruction for using an albuterol MDI. The correct sequence is to inhale slowly and deeply through the mouth while pressing down on the canister to release the medication, hold the breath for a few seconds (usually 10 seconds), and then exhale slowly. Exhaling immediately after inhaling would not allow the medication to reach the lower airways effectively. Therefore, choice B is not the correct answer.

Choice C rationale:

"Close your mouth around the mouthpiece" is an essential instruction for using an albuterol MDI correctly. It ensures that the medication

Choice A rationale:

Informing the client that the procedure will take 60 minutes is not a critical action before an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) The duration of the procedure may vary, but this information is not as essential as other pre-procedure considerations.

Choice B rationale:

The correct action is to "Ensure that the client gave informed consent." Before any invasive procedure like an EGD, it is crucial to confirm that the client has provided informed consent. This ensures that the client understands the procedure, its risks, and benefits, and has the opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision.

Choice C rationale:

Administering an oral contrast solution is not typically done before an EGD. An EGD involves the insertion of a flexible scope through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to visualize these structures. Contrast solutions are usually used in other imaging procedures, such as barium swallow studies.

Choice D rationale:

Ensuring that the client's bladder is full is not necessary for an EGD. This requirement may be relevant for other imaging studies, but it does not apply to this procedure. The focus should be on the client's comfort, safety, and informed consent before the EGD.
