A nurse is preparing a discharge plan for a client using the IDEAL toolkit. Which of the following does the toolkit identify as one of the five key areas that nurse should discuss with the client?

A. While acting as a mediator between the client and the provider is an important aspect of advocacy and communication, it is not directly related to accountability. Mediation involves facilitating communication and resolving conflicts, which are important for effective care but do not specifically address taking responsibility for one's own actions and decisions.
B. This is an example of accountability. Following the rights of medication administration—such as checking the right patient, medication, dose, route, and time—is a critical responsibility of the nurse. Ensuring that these rights are adhered to demonstrates accountability in medication management, as the nurse is taking responsibility for administering medications safely and correctly.
C. Supporting a client’s right to refuse medication is an important aspect of patient autonomy and ethical practice. While it reflects respect for the client’s choices and rights, it is more related to advocacy and ethical principles rather than directly demonstrating accountability for one’s own actions.

D. Ensuring that a client understands the adverse effects of their medication involves educating the client and ensuring informed consent. This is an important aspect of patient education and care but is not solely an example of accountability. Accountability would involve taking responsibility for making sure that this education is provided correctly and thoroughly.

A. A client who is easily distracted during art therapy may benefit from being near the nurses' station if their distraction could lead to issues with concentration or focus that might impact their therapy.
However, this is less of a priority compared to clients with higher risks related to safety or behavioral issues. This client’s needs are more about support and engagement in therapy rather than immediate safety monitoring.
B. Clients with frequent anger outbursts can pose a risk to themselves and others. Having them in a room near the nurses' station allows for closer monitoring and quick intervention if their behavior escalates. This placement helps ensure safety and provides immediate access to staff if the client becomes agitated or poses a threat.
C. A client who has threatened to kill themselves requires close observation to ensure their safety and prevent self-harm. Placing this client in a room near the nurses' station allows for constant monitoring and immediate intervention if the client’s condition worsens or if they attempt self-harm. This is a high priority for safety and supervision.
D. A client who has engaged in cutting behaviors is at risk for self-harm. Placing this client near the nurses' station is important for ensuring close observation and timely intervention to prevent further self-injury. This helps in providing a safer environment and immediate support if the client shows signs of distress or attempts self-harm.
E. A client who cannot sit still at breakfast might need supervision to ensure they eat properly and safely. However, this need is less critical compared to clients with high risks of self-harm or aggressive behaviors. While this client may benefit from being in a more monitored area, it is not as urgent as the needs of clients with significant safety concerns.
