A nurse is helping to place a client into the prone position.

The nurse should use a small pillow to relieve pressure from which of the following areas of the client's body?

Overhearing a discussion about a client's private information is a breach of confidentiality, and it is the nurse's responsibility to address the situation promptly.

While documenting the event in the client's progress notes might be necessary in some cases, it is not the initial action to take in this scenario. Similarly, submitting an incident report to the risk manager may be required for documentation purposes, but it is not the immediate action to address the breach of confidentiality.

Informing the client of the APs' actions may not be necessary unless there is evidence that the client's privacy has been compromised or if the client specifically requests to know. However, the priority is to address the issue of the conversation between the APs and ensure that confidentiality is maintained.

A.This statement reflects the client's emotional response to their condition, which is important to address, but it does not indicate a need for immediate medical intervention.

B.Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the skin. Treatment for psoriasis often involves the use of topical medications that are applied to the affected areas. This is a good practice. Old medication should be removed before applying a new dose to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

C.This is a reasonable practice as some fabric softeners may contain ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin, including the skin affected by psoriasis. Avoiding fabric softeners or using hypoallergenic alternatives can help reduce potential irritation.

D.Sunlight exposure can actually be beneficial for clients with psoriasis, as ultraviolet (UV) light can help reduce the growth of skin cells and alleviate symptoms. If the client is limiting their sunlight exposure, they might be missing out on a potential therapeutic benefit. However, it is important to balance sun exposure and avoid overexposure to prevent skin damage.
