A nurse is caring for a client who has recently died. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Giving change-of-shift report to a nurse outside the client's room helps to maintain client confidentiality. By discussing sensitive client information in a private and secure area, such as a designated report room or a location where other clients or visitors cannot overhear, the nurse ensures that the client's personal and medical information is not disclosed to unauthorized individuals.

Writing a client's diagnosis on the message board in the client's room can potentially expose sensitive medical information to anyone who enters the room, including visitors or other healthcare providers who are not directly involved in the client's care.

Discussing a client's prognosis with an assistive personnel who is caring for the client may violate the principle of need-to-know confidentiality. While it is important for healthcare team members to collaborate and communicate about client care, sensitive information should only be shared on a need-to-know basis.

Discarding worksheets containing client information in a wastebasket without proper shredding or disposal methods can potentially expose client information to unauthorized individuals who may come across the discarded documents. Proper procedures for document disposal, such as shredding or using secure disposal containers, should be followed to protect client confidentiality.

The correct action to take in this situation is to place a pillow or cushion under the child's head.

This will help protect the child from injuring their head during the seizure.

It is important not to turn the child onto their back during a seizure, as this can obstruct the airway and potentially lead to respiratory distress.

Restraining the child's upper extremities is also not recommended, as it can cause injury to the child or the person trying to restrain them.

Placing a padded tongue blade or any object in the child's mouth is no longer recommended during a seizure. Doing so can cause injury to the child's mouth or teeth and is not necessary for seizure management.
