A nurse is collecting data from the caregiver of a client who has Alzheimer's disease. The caregiver reports the client has difficulty sleeping at night and wanders throughout the house.

Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?

a. Location of the identification tag on the client's body: This is essential information that should be included in the documentation. It ensures that the deceased person is properly identified and helps prevent any mix-ups during subsequent processes, such as transferring the body to the morgue or a funeral home.

b-While this information is important, it's typically documented by the physician on the death certificate and is not generally part of the nurse's postmortem documentation.

c-The last set of vital signs is not usually required for postmortem documentation. Postmortem documentation focuses on the condition of the body and identification rather than the final vital signs, which are often irrelevant after death.

d-Advance directives should be reviewed before death and guide the care provided, but they are not part of postmortem documentation. A copy of the client's advance directives may also be included in their medical record but is not typically included in postmortem documentation.

Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route, often due to contaminated food or water. However, it can also spread through close personal contact, including sharing towels, utensils, or other personal items. By using different hand towels than others in the home, the client demonstrates an understanding of the importance of preventing the transmission of the virus.

While hand hygiene is essential in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, including hepatitis A, alcohol-based cleansers are not effective against the hepatitis A virus. Washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the recommended method to remove the virus from the hands.

Hepatitis A can be spread through contaminated food, so it is important for the client to avoid preparing food for others during the acute phase of the illness and until cleared by a healthcare professional.

Hepatitis A is not typically transmitted through contact with blood. It is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route or close personal contact with an infected individual.
