A nurse is discussing effective communication techniques for a client who has visual impairment with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Discuss the client's preferences for determining a repositioning schedule. While it's important to consider the client's comfort, repositioning must follow clinical guidelines (typically every 2 hours) to prevent pressure injuries, especially in clients with limited mobility post-stroke.
B. Raise the side rails on both sides of the client's bed during repositioning. Raising both side rails can be considered a form of restraint if not medically justified. Only one rail should be raised for safety and support unless otherwise indicated by facility policy.
C. Reposition the client without the use of assistive devices. Repositioning a client post-stroke without proper equipment increases the risk of injury to both the client and the nurse. Assistive devices promote safety and proper body mechanics.
D. Evaluate the client's ability to help with repositioning. This is the first and most important step. Assessing the client’s physical capability and level of consciousness ensures that the nurse uses the appropriate technique and equipment for safe repositioning.

A. Turn off oxygen sources. After ensuring the client is safe, the priority is to reduce the risk of fire spreading, and oxygen greatly increases flammability. Turning off oxygen is a critical safety measure to prevent rapid combustion.
B. Put out the fire with an extinguisher. While extinguishing the fire is important, it should only be attempted if safe to do so and after addressing immediate dangers, such as oxygen sources and client safety.
C. Close the fire doors on the unit. This is part of containment under the RACE protocol (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish), but it is not the first priority after rescue when oxygen is actively feeding the fire.
D. Notify the facility operator. This step corresponds to the "Alarm" phase of RACE and is essential for initiating the emergency response. However, it follows immediately after ensuring client safety and environmental hazard reduction, like turning off oxygen.
