A nurse is preparing to administer a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td) to a client. Which of the following images indicates the technique nurse should plan to use?

A. "If I have a health care proxy, then I do not need to have a living will.": A health care proxy and a living will serve different purposes. A living will outlines specific treatment preferences, while a health care proxy designates someone to make decisions. Having one does not eliminate the benefit or need for the other.

B. "My health care proxy designee is not able to sign a consent form on my behalf.": The designee named in a health care proxy is specifically authorized to make healthcare decisions, including signing consent forms, if the client becomes unable to do so themselves.

C. "I do not need to name a relative as my designee in my health care proxy.": A client can choose any competent adult they trust to act as their healthcare proxy; it does not have to be a relative. This flexibility allows clients to select someone they believe will best honor their wishes.

D. "Once my health care proxy is in place, I relinquish my right to make my own decisions.": Having a health care proxy does not remove the client's decision-making rights. The proxy only takes effect if the client becomes unable to make or communicate their own healthcare decisions.

A. "Check the water temperature with your finger": Checking water temperature with a finger is unreliable because fingers may tolerate higher temperatures without discomfort. It is recommended to use the inside of the wrist or a thermometer to ensure the water is warm but not hot, typically around 100°F (37.8°C), to prevent burns.

B. "Hold your baby under running water when washing his hair": Holding a newborn under running water is unsafe because it can cause sudden chilling, difficulty breathing, or even slipping. Instead, caregivers should use a damp, warm washcloth or gently pour water over the baby's head while securely supporting it.

C. "Cleanse the eyes from the inner canthus outward": Cleaning from the inner to the outer canthus is correct technique because it prevents introducing contaminants into the tear duct. This motion also minimizes the spread of bacteria, reducing the risk of eye infections in the delicate eyes of a newborn.

D. "Set the water heater to 125.6 degrees Fahrenheit": A water heater set to 125.6°F presents a high risk of scald burns in infants. Safety guidelines recommend setting the water heater to no higher than 120°F (48.9°C) to reduce the risk of accidental burns during bathing or household water use.
