A nurse is collecting data from a client about a range of motion for various joints. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as an example of a ball an socket joint?

A. Incorrect. Assisting the client with relaxation techniques can be helpful in managing bladder training, but determining the client's voiding pattern is the first step in designing an effective program.
B. Incorrect. Discouraging the intake of carbonated beverages might be part of the bladder training plan, but the first step is to assess the client's current voiding pattern.
C. Incorrect. Offering toileting opportunities every 1 to 2 hours is part of the bladder training program, but determining the client's voiding pattern is the initial action.
D. Correct. The nurse should first determine the client's pattern for voiding, including the frequency of voiding and any patterns of urgency or incontinence. This information is essential to tailor the bladder training program to the client's individual needs.

Answer is:Drain the tub water before the client gets out.

Explanation: This is the correct answer because it reduces the risk of slipping and falling for the client, especially if they have limited mobility or balance problems. The other options are incorrect because:

• Checking on the client every 10 min during the bath is not enough to ensure their safety and comfort.The nurse should check on them more frequently, such as every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on their needs and preferences.
• Adding bath oil to the water after the client gets into the tub is not a good idea because it can make the water slippery and increase the risk of falling.The nurse should add bath oil to the water before the client gets into the tub, or use a non-slip mat or shower chair.
• Allowing the client to remain in the bath for 30 min is too long and can cause dehydration, hypothermia, or skin irritation.The nurse should instruct the client to remain in the tub for no longer than 20 min, unless otherwise ordered by a physician.
