A nurse is caring for a client who is dying.
One of the client's family members tells the nurse, "I need to help.
What can I do?" Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A rationale

Stating that the client's condition is stable right now is a breach of patient confidentiality and does not comply with privacy regulations.

Choice B rationale

Telling the employer that the nurse will inform the client about the call is also a breach of confidentiality, as it implies that the client is indeed there.

Choice C rationale

Responding with "I cannot confirm or deny that we have a client by that name" is an appropriate and professional way to protect patient confidentiality and comply with privacy laws.

Choice D rationale

Stating that the client is in the hospital but not providing further details still reveals the client's location, which breaches patient confidentiality and privacy regulations. .

Choice A rationale

Keeping elbows slightly bent when grasping the walker helps to maintain stability and control. This positioning reduces the strain on the arms and shoulders, providing a more comfortable and effective way to use the walker.

Choice B rationale

Sliding the walker and moving it about a foot in front can cause instability. Instead, lifting the walker and placing it step-by-step ensures better support and reduces the risk of falls.

Choice C rationale

Moving the walker and the stronger leg at the same time can lead to imbalance and falls. The correct method is to move the walker first, then step forward with the weaker leg, followed by the stronger leg.

Choice D rationale

Keeping the walker height adjusted so the user leans slightly forward is incorrect. The walker height should be at the level of the wrists when the arms are hanging down, allowing for a natural and upright posture.
