A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide.

Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?

This response allows the nurse to actively listen to the client, gain a better understanding of their concerns and reasons behind wanting to stop treatment, and open the door for a more in-depth conversation. It demonstrates a non-judgmental approach and creates an opportunity for the client to express their fears, concerns, or any other factors influencing their decision.

"I would feel the same way if I were you." This response reflects the nurse's personal opinion and may not accurately represent the client's thoughts or feelings. It does not encourage the client to explore their own feelings or provide an opportunity for open communication.

"Why do you think that would be a good choice?" This response may come across as confrontational and judgmental, potentially making the client defensive or shutting down communication. It does not facilitate a therapeutic conversation or encourage the client to express their emotions and concerns openly.

"You'll be cancer-free after you complete your treatments." This response may oversimplify the client's situation or offer false reassurance. It is important to acknowledge the client's feelings and concerns while providing accurate information and support, rather than making unrealistic promises about treatment outcomes.

The nurse should approach the client's expression of wanting to stop treatment with empathy, active listening, and an open mind to provide the necessary support, education, and resources to help the client make informed decisions about their healthcare.

The shoulder harnesses of the car seat should be positioned at or slightly below the level of the infant's shoulders. This helps secure the infant properly in the car seat and provides appropriate protection in the event of a crash.

Car seats for infants should not be positioned at a 90° angle. Instead, they should be installed at a reclined angle, as recommended by the car seat manufacturer. The specific recline angle can vary depending on the car seat model and the age of the child.

Additional cushions or support devices should not be placed in the car seat unless specifically recommended by the car seat manufacturer. Extra padding or cushions can interfere with the proper fit of the harness and compromise the safety of the infant.

It is not safe to have an infant's car seat in the front seat if there is an active airbag. The safest place for an infant's car seat is in the rear seat, preferably in the middle position. If the car does not have a rear seat, it is important to disable the airbag if the car seat must be placed in the front seat.
