A nurse is preparing to witness a client's signature on a consent form for a colon resection. The nurse should recognize that which of the follow information should be provided to the client by the provider before signing the form? (Select all that apply.)

A. The client is allergic to penicillin: Medication allergies are critical for the nurse and prescriber to know, but they are not directly relevant to occupational therapy planning.

B. The client's parent is in a skilled nursing facility: While this may influence social support, it is not directly relevant to the client’s rehabilitation needs or adaptive strategies for activities of daily living.

C.Having two small children at home significantly impacts the client's functional needs and IADLs. Caring for infants or toddlers requires bilateral hand coordination for tasks like holding a child safely, fastening car seats, lifting, changing diapers, and preparing bottles. The occupational therapist needs this critical information to tailor the rehabilitation plan, introduce specific adaptive equipment, and practice child-care tasks using one hand or a temporary prosthesis before discharge.

D. The client lives in a two-story home: The home environment, including stairs, affects mobility, accessibility, and safety after amputation. Reporting this information is essential for planning adaptive equipment, home modifications, and safe discharge.

Rationale:

A. Tetracycline 200 mg PO: This prescription is incomplete because it does not specify the frequency or duration of administration, making it unclear how the medication should be given safely.

B. Cimetidine PO twice daily: The prescription lacks the dosage strength in milligrams, which is essential for accurate administration and safe dosing.

C. Digoxin 0.25 mg PO daily: This prescription includes the medication name, dosage, route, and frequency, providing all essential components needed for safe administration.

D. Epoetin alfa 150 units/kg three times weekly: While it includes dose and frequency, it does not specify the route (subcutaneous or IV), which is required to complete the prescription safely.
