A nurse is creating a plan of care for a newborn who is breastfed and appears jaundiced.

Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale:

Increasing fiber intake is a key recommendation for managing diverticulosis.

Choice B rationale:

Cellulose-containing foods, such as whole grains and vegetables, are important sources of dietary fiber and are encouraged for managing diverticulosis.

Choice C rationale:

Stimulating laxatives are not recommended for managing diverticulosis and could potentially exacerbate symptoms.

Choice D rationale:

Limiting fat intake to 30% or less is a dietary recommendation for managing diverticulosis. A high-fiber diet is also important to prevent diverticular inflammation.

Choice A rationale:

Using a disposable adhesive probe when measuring the client's SaO2 is not an intervention that can reduce the exposure of the client to latex, because adhesive probes may contain latex and cause skin reactions. A better option would be to use a non-adhesive probe or a probe cover that is latex-free.

Choice B rationale:

Rationale: Latex sensitivity or allergy can lead to adverse reactions when exposed to latex- containing products, such as blood pressure cuffs. Wrapping the blood pressure cuff in a stockinette helps minimize direct contact between the cuff and the client's skin.

Choice C rationale:

Silicone products are usually considered safe for individuals with latex sensitivity because silicone is a different material. Silicone products are generally safe for clients who are sensitive to latex, unless they have a separate allergy to silicone.

Choice D rationale:

Cleaning vial stoppers for 15 seconds before using them to withdraw-medications for the client is not an intervention that can reduce the exposure of the client to latex, because vial stoppers may be made of latex or rubber and cleaning them does not remove the allergen. A better option would be to use vials that have latex-free stoppers or to avoid puncturing the stoppers with needles.
