A nurse is preparing to administer an IV bolus of albumin 5% to a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion. After confirming compatibility, which of the following actions shouldthe nurse take?

A. Using the injection port farthest from the IV catheter insertion site is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be practical depending on the setup of the IV tubing.

B. Occluding the IV tubing above the injection port prevents the bolus medication from flowing into the continuous IV infusion, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the patient.

C. Checking for blood return after medication administration is not relevant in this context, as albumin 5% is administered intravenously and does not require blood return.

D. Flushing the IV tubing with a heparinized solution is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be appropriate for all medications.

A. Insisting the client use direct eye contact may be intimidating or uncomfortable for the client, especially in a mental health setting where individuals may have varying levels of comfort with eye contact.

B. Seating the client at such a distance may create a physical barrier and hinder effective communication between the nurse and the client.

C. Positioning the client's chair between the nurse's chair and the door may make the client feel trapped or uncomfortable, especially during a sensitive interview.

D. Leaning in slightly when speaking to the client demonstrates attentiveness and facilitates a sense of closeness and engagement in the conversation, which can help build rapport and trust.
