A nurse is providing postoperative teaching to a client who has a newly inserted pacemaker.
Which of the following statements by the client Indicates that the teaching has been effective?

A. Insisting on direct eye contact may be uncomfortable or distressing for some clients, particularly those with certain mental health conditions or cultural backgrounds. It's important to respect the client's comfort level.

B. Seating the client too far away can create a sense of distance and may hinder effective communication. A closer seating arrangement facilitates rapport and engagement.

C. Positioning the client's chair between the nurse's chair and the door may make the client feel trapped or uncomfortable, especially if they have concerns about their safety or autonomy.

D. Leaning in slightly when speaking to the client demonstrates attentiveness and engagement. It can also convey a sense of confidentiality and respect for the client's space.

A. Detaching the needle from the syringe before discarding it increases the risk of needle-stick injuries. Needles should be disposed of as one unit to minimize the risk of injury.

B. Broken glass should be disposed of in a puncture-proof container to prevent injuries. Placing it directly in a wastebasket increases the risk of puncture injuries to individuals handling the waste.

C. Recapping needles increases the risk of needle-stick injuries. Needles should not be recapped after use unless there is no safer alternative. Instead, they should be disposed of as one unit.

D. Lancets, needles, and other sharp objects should be placed in puncture-proof containers immediately after use to prevent injuries. This practice helps ensure the safety of healthcare workers and others who handle waste.
