A nurse is caring for a client who has an eating disorder. The nurse is practicing which of the following ethical concepts when the client refuses to drink a between meal protein and calorie supplement?

A. "You should avoid using the PCA system if you feel that the pain is manageable without medication." This is misleading as the PCA system is intended for effective pain control; clients are encouraged to use it before pain becomes severe.

B. "The PCA system is designed with safety features to prevent you from receiving too much medication." This reassures clients about the system's safety features, such as lockout mechanisms that prevent overdose.

C. "The PCA system is programmed to deliver a specific dose of medication each time you press the button." This explains how the device is pre-programmed by healthcare providers to deliver a safe, therapeutic dose.

D. "You will be able to administer pain medication to yourself by pressing the PCA button whenever you need it." This empowers the client to take control of their pain management within the limits set by the PCA system.

E. "Family members should press the PCA button for you if you are unable to do so yourself." This is unsafe. Only the client should press the PCA button to avoid overmedication or dosing errors.

A. "The wellness-illness continuum is used to categorize individuals into distinct health categories, such as healthy or sick." The continuum does not divide individuals into fixed categories but instead emphasizes the dynamic and fluid nature of health.

B. "The wellness-illness continuum is a model that shows a person's health moving between complete wellness and complete illness in a linear fashion." While the model involves movement, it is not linear but influenced by various factors such as lifestyle and environment.

C. "The continuum recognizes that health is multidimensional and includes physical, mental, and social well-being." The wellness-illness continuum emphasizes a holistic perspective of health, considering multiple dimensions.

D. "The wellness-illness continuum focuses on a person's ability to stay completely well without any variations in health status." The continuum acknowledges variations in health status over time and does not focus solely on complete wellness.
