A nurse is providing discharge planning for a young adult client who is postoperative following a myringotomy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the discharge planning?

A) Place a sign on the client's door indicating visual impairment:
While indicating the client’s visual impairment to staff can be helpful, privacy and dignity should also be considered. Alternative methods to inform the staff without compromising the client's privacy should be used.

B) Provide the client with a brightly colored plate and utensils:
Brightly colored plates and utensils can help clients with partial vision impairment but may not be significantly beneficial for those who are fully visually impaired.

C) When ambulating with the client, grasp the client's arm above the elbow:
Grasping the client's arm above the elbow is an effective way to guide a visually impaired person. This allows the client to follow the nurse's movements more naturally and ensures better support and guidance.

D) Speak in an elevated tone of voice when providing care:
Elevating the tone of voice is unnecessary and may be misinterpreted as condescending. Clear, normal, and respectful communication is essential for all clients, regardless of visual impairment.

A) Hiccups: Hiccups are not a common adverse effect of lisinopril. While they can be bothersome, they are not typically associated with this medication. Monitoring for more significant side effects is crucial, but hiccups alone are not usually indicative of a serious reaction.

B) Anxiousness: Anxiousness or anxiety is not a typical side effect of lisinopril. While anxiety can occur due to various factors, it is not directly linked to the use of lisinopril. The focus should be on more specific adverse effects related to the medication.

C) Cough: A persistent, dry cough is a well-documented adverse effect of lisinopril. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like lisinopril can cause a cough due to the accumulation of bradykinin. This side effect is significant and often leads to discontinuation of the medication.

D) Rhinorrhea: Rhinorrhea, or a runny nose, is not a common adverse effect of lisinopril. Although it can occur with other conditions or medications, it is not specifically associated with ACE inhibitors. Monitoring for more characteristic side effects of lisinopril is important.
