A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who lives in subsidized housing and is concerned about being able to afford their medications. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify is affecting the client's health?

A. Quality improvement focuses on the processes and systems within healthcare that enhance patient outcomes and improve care delivery. While the nurse's actions contribute to overall quality of care, this specific scenario does not directly relate to improving a process or system.
B. The nurse is demonstrating the competency of safety by ensuring the client’s bed is locked (preventing falls) and the call light is within reach (allowing the client to request help easily). These actions directly enhance the client's safety and prevent potential harm.
C. Teamwork and collaboration involve working effectively with other healthcare professionals to provide optimal care. While collaboration is essential in nursing, the actions described do not specifically pertain to working with other team members.
D. Patient-centered care focuses on respecting and responding to individual patient preferences, needs, and values. While ensuring the call light is within reach aligns with the principles of patient-centered care, the primary focus of the nurse’s actions is on safety.

A. It reflects the client’s personal feelings and experiences regarding their condition. Since it is based on
the client's report rather than measurable findings, it does not qualify as objective data.
B. It provides measurable information about the client's urine output, which can be quantified and observed by the nurse. Objective data is factual and can be verified by anyone observing the situation.
C. Like the nausea report, this statement is based on the client’s personal experience and perception of
pain. It cannot be measured objectively, making it subjective.
D. Blood pressure readings are measurable and can be objectively compared to preoperative values. This information provides concrete data regarding the client's current condition.
E. The observations of swelling and warmth can be directly assessed and are factual findings that can be confirmed by the nurse during the physical examination.
