A nurse is caring for a client who has bacterial vaginosis. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?

Rationale:
A. Reassure the client that their injuries are not life threatening: While reassurance may seem supportive, minimizing the client’s experience or focusing on injury severity too early may invalidate their emotional trauma and hinder trust-building.

B. Limit the number of staff members providing care for the client: Limiting staff exposure promotes a sense of safety and control for the client, who may feel vulnerable and traumatized. Consistency in caregivers helps reduce anxiety and supports trauma-informed care principles by minimizing re-traumatization and promoting trust.

C. Ask the client for details about the assault: The nurse should not probe for specific details because repeated questioning can intensify trauma and emotional distress. Instead, the nurse should allow the client to share voluntarily when ready and defer detailed questioning to a trained sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE).

D. Instruct the client to shower and change their clothes: The client should not bathe, change, or wash clothing before evidence collection. The nurse should explain the importance of preserving evidence and provide clean clothing after the forensic examination is complete.

Rationale:
A. Red meat: Red meat is often high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can contribute to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Regular consumption may increase blood pressure and arterial stiffness, so clients with hypertension should limit or avoid it.

B. Canned black beans: Although beans are generally healthy, canned varieties are often high in sodium, which can worsen hypertension. Unless the beans are labeled low-sodium or rinsed thoroughly before eating, they can contribute to elevated blood pressure.

C. Fish: Fish, especially fatty varieties like salmon or mackerel, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health by reducing inflammation and improving lipid profiles. Including fish in the diet promotes heart health and helps manage blood pressure effectively.

D. Cheese: Cheese contains significant amounts of sodium and saturated fat, both of which can increase blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. Clients with hypertension should consume cheese in moderation or select low-sodium, low-fat varieties when possible.
