A nurse is instructing a young adult client about healthful sleep habits. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further teaching?

A) "It's a good idea to help make sure your husband can sleep comfortably.":
This encourages the partner to administer medication, which can lead to overmedication and potential harm.

B) "Why do you think your husband needs more medication when he is asleep?":
This might cause the partner to feel defensive. It also does not provide the necessary education about the correct use of the PCA pump.

C) "Next time you think he needs more medication, call me and I'll push the button.":
This is inappropriate as well. It does not address the core issue that only the patient should be pressing the button to ensure safe and appropriate use of the PCA pump.

D) "Your husband should decide when more medication is needed.":
This educates the partner about the proper use of the PCA pump, emphasizing that only the patient should press the button to ensure they are receiving medication only when they feel pain. This minimizes the risk of overmedication and adverse effects.

A) The client tolerates a second dose of medication with no greater than 1 peripheral edema:
This does not directly indicate a therapeutic response to epinephrine for angioedema. Angioedema primarily involves swelling of deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes and lips, and sometimes the throat, which can cause breathing difficulties. Tolerating a second dose of medication with minimal peripheral edema does not specifically address the acute respiratory effects of angioedema.

B) Respirations are unlabored:
This is the correct answer. Angioedema can cause swelling in the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Epinephrine is used to reduce this swelling and improve airway patency. Unlabored respirations indicate that the airway is not obstructed, which means the epinephrine has successfully alleviated the swelling causing the angioedema.

C) Client reports decreased groin pain of 3 on a 1 to 10 scale:
Decreased groin pain is not relevant to the treatment of angioedema with epinephrine. Pain relief in the groin area does not indicate a therapeutic response to epinephrine, which is primarily used to address airway and anaphylactic symptoms.

D) The client's blood pressure when arising from resting position is at premedication levels:
While epinephrine can affect blood pressure, the main concern with angioedema is airway obstruction rather than blood pressure control. Normalizing blood pressure does not specifically indicate that the epinephrine has successfully treated the angioedema and improved the client's respiratory status.
