A nurse is caring for an adolescent who recently found out that they are unexpectedly pregnant. Which of the following statements indicates that the client is emotionally prepared for pregnancy?

A. Position the client's head northward. In Islamic tradition, the body is typically positioned with the head facing Mecca, not northward. This direction holds religious significance for Muslims as the holiest city in Islam.
B. Allow a family member to stay with the client's body for 8 hr. While family members may wish to remain with the body, there is no strict time limit. Islamic customs often encourage continuous presence until burial, which should occur as soon as possible.
C. Position the client's head toward Mecca. While this is an important aspect of Islamic postmortem care, the entire body, not just the head, should be positioned so that it faces Mecca if possible. Additionally, proper washing and shrouding rituals are observed before burial.
D. Allow a family member of the client to stay with the client's body until burial. In Islamic tradition, the body is never left alone, and family members or members of the Muslim community often stay with the deceased until burial. This practice ensures that religious rites are observed and that the body is treated with the utmost respect.

A. Ask the provider to spell out the name of the medication. Asking the provider to spell out the name of the medication is important to ensure accuracy and prevent medication errors. This step helps clarify any potential confusion regarding similar-sounding medications or names, reducing the risk of administering the wrong drug.
B. Withhold the medication until the provider signs the prescription. Withholding the medication until the provider signs the prescription is not necessary. Telephone prescriptions are valid and can be administered after being documented appropriately, provided that the nurse follows institutional policies regarding the signing of prescriptions. This means that the nurse should not delay necessary medication administration based on awaiting a signature.
C. Record the date and time of the telephone prescription. Recording the date and time of the telephone prescription is essential for accurate medical documentation. This information is critical for maintaining an accurate medication administration record and for legal purposes, ensuring that there is a clear timeline of the prescription order.
D. Request that the provider confirm the read-back of the prescription. Requesting that the provider confirm the read-back of the prescription is a crucial step in ensuring the accuracy of the prescription. The read-back method helps confirm that the nurse understood the prescription correctly and prevents potential errors by allowing the provider to verify the information relayed.
E. Instruct another nurse to record the prescription in the medical record. Instructing another nurse to record the prescription in the medical record is not appropriate. The nurse who received the telephone prescription should document it to maintain accountability and ensure accurate record-keeping. This promotes responsible practice and avoids miscommunication regarding the prescription details.
