A nurse is caring for a client who reports the use of chondroitin and glucosamine. The health benefit of this supplement combination is to do which of the following?

A. A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who needs guidance on incentive spirometry requires nursing judgment and education to ensure proper technique, so this task is best performed by a nurse.

B. A client who had a myocardial infarction 3 days ago and reports chest discomfort requires assessment and potential intervention by a nurse to address cardiac issues.

C. Assisting a client with toileting typically involves tasks such as transferring, positioning, and providing hygiene assistance, which can be safely delegated to an assistive personnel.

D. Providing a client who has awoken following a bronchoscopy with a drink involves assessing for the absence of nausea or vomiting and ensuring the client can swallow safely, which requires nursing judgment and should be performed by a nurse.

A. Holding the newborn in an en face position: This action promotes bonding between the mother and the newborn and is a positive interaction.

B. Asking the father to change the newborn's diaper: Involving the father in caregiving tasks fosters family involvement and bonding.

C. Viewing the newborn's actions to be uncooperative: This suggests a negative perception of the newborn's behavior, which could indicate potential issues with bonding or misunderstanding

infant cues, requiring the nurse's intervention.

D. Requesting the nurse take the newborn to the nursery so she can rest: While rest is important for the mother, separating the newborn from the mother could disrupt bonding and breastfeeding, so this action should be discussed further with the client to explore other options.
