A nurse is discussing the plan of care of a client who is 4 hr postoperative and has a urostomy with assistive personnel.

Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the discussion?

An incident report is a tool used to document any unexpected or adverse event that occurs in the healthcare setting. It is important to report incidents to ensure proper investigation, analysis, and implementation of measures to prevent future occurrences.

In this example, the incident involves an error with an electronic IV pump resulting in the delivery of an incorrect amount of fluid, which can have serious implications for the client's safety and well-being.

The other examples listed may require further actions but may not necessarily require an incident report:

1. A nurse discovers that a client's family member has administered a PCA dose: While it is concerning that a client's family member administered a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) dose, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention, education, and communication with the healthcare provider. An incident report may not be necessary unless there are further complications or system issues related to this incident.
2. A nurse observes another nurse remove wrist restraints one at a time from a client who is currently calm: While the observation of improper restraint removal raises concerns about proper restraint protocol, it is more appropriate to address this situation through immediate intervention and communication with the involved nurse and healthcare provider. Depending on the severity of the situation, an incident report may or may not be warranted, but it is not the primary action in this case.
3. A nurse observes a client vomiting after receiving an oral pain medication: While it is important to assess and address the client's condition and any adverse reactions, such as vomiting after receiving medication, it may not necessarily require an incident report. The nurse should assess the client, notify the healthcare provider, and document the incident appropriately in the client's medical record.

Explanation:

Avoid pregnancy for at least 28 days after receiving the vaccine: This is a crucial instruction for women of childbearing age. The MMR vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, and women should avoid becoming pregnant for at least 28 days after receiving it to reduce the theoretical risk to the developing fetus. Pregnant women should not receive the MMR vaccine, and women who receive the vaccine should avoid getting pregnant for at least 28 days afterward.

Incorrect:

A- Avoid breastfeeding for 3 days after receiving the vaccine: This statement is not accurate. Breastfeeding is not contraindicated after receiving the MMR vaccine. In fact, breastfeeding is safe and can be continued as usual.

B- Your partner should also receive the MMR vaccine: While it is essential for individuals to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella for their own protection and to contribute to herd immunity, it is not a specific instruction given to the postpartum client.

C- If you are allergic to gluten, you should not receive this vaccine: The MMR vaccine does not contain gluten, and a gluten allergy is not a contraindication for receiving the vaccine.
