A nurse is preparing a client's body for a postmortem family viewing.

Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

This statement accurately reflects the client's own account of what happened, providing important information about the circumstances leading to the fall. Including the client's statement helps document the client's perspective and can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the event.
B. "The client fell because the assistive personnel did not place nonskid slippers on the client." This statement assigns blame to the assistive personnel without sufficient evidence. It is important to maintain objectivity and avoid making assumptions or assigning fault without proper investigation or documentation of facts.
C. "The client does not appear to have any injuries resulting from the fall." While it is important to assess the client for any injuries after a fall, documenting this information may be more appropriate in the client's assessment or nursing notes rather than in the specific documentation about the fall incident itself.
D. "An incident report has been completed and sent to risk management." While it is important to report falls and complete an incident report for quality improvement and risk management purposes, this information is more relevant to internal documentation and reporting processes rather than inclusion in the medical record for the client's care.

Montelukast is a medication commonly used for the maintenance treatment of asthma. It is not used for immediate relief of wheezing or acute symptoms. Instead, it is taken on a scheduled basis to help control and prevent asthma symptoms over time. The recommended dosing regimen for montelukast in children is once daily in the evening.

The statement about giving the medication every 2 hours, if the child is wheezing, is incorrect, as this medication is not meant to be used for immediate relief of symptoms. It is a preventive medication.

The statement about it taking 2 months of scheduled use before the medication is effective is incorrect. While it may take some time for the medication to reach its full effect, improvement in symptoms can often be seen within a few days to weeks of starting treatment.

The statement about stopping the medication if the child is taking a steroid is incorrect. Montelukast can be used in conjunction with other asthma medications, including steroids, as prescribed by the healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and not discontinue any medication without consulting the healthcare provider.
