A nurse is planning to develop a standard for removal of indwelling urinary catheters from clients following colon resection. Which of the following resources should the nurse use?

Choice A reason: This is the correct choice because this information is relevant and important for the physical therapist. A hemoglobin of 5 g/dL indicates severe anemia, which can cause fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and palpitations. The physical therapist should be aware of the client's condition and adjust the therapy accordingly. The physical therapist should also monitor the client's vital signs, oxygen saturation, and tolerance to activity.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct choice because this information is not relevant or important for the physical therapist. A clean-catch urine test is a diagnostic test that requires the client to collect a midstream urine sample in a sterile container. The physical therapist does not need to know about this test or its results, as it does not affect the client's physical therapy.

Choice C reason: This is not the correct choice because this information is not relevant or important for the physical therapist. Opioid-induced constipation is a side effect of opioid medications that can cause abdominal pain, bloating, and difficulty passing stools. The physical therapist does not need to know about this condition or its treatment, as it does not affect the client's physical therapy.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct choice because this information is not relevant or important for the physical therapist. A new diagnosis of colorectal cancer is a serious and life-changing condition that requires medical and surgical interventions. The physical therapist does not need to know about this diagnosis or its prognosis, as it does not affect the client's physical therapy.

Choice A reason: A client who had a recent stroke and is showing manifestations of depression needs an interdisciplinary conference because they require a comprehensive and coordinated plan of care that involves multiple disciplines, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and mental health services.

Choice B reason: A client whose provider is unhappy with the nursing care does not need an interdisciplinary conference, but rather a feedback and evaluation session with the nurse manager and the provider to address the issues and improve the quality of care.

Choice C reason: A client whose MRI results have not been made available after 2 days does not need an interdisciplinary conference, but rather a follow-up with the radiology department and the provider to expedite the results and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Choice D reason: A client whose partner requests that the client be moved to a private room does not need an interdisciplinary conference, but rather a discussion with the admission office and the partner to explore the availability and cost of a private room and the benefits and risks of transferring the client.
