A nurse is reinforcing teaching about foot care to a client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Reviewing client education: Reviewing education is often part of the termination phase, where teaching is reinforced and the nurse ensures the client understands care plans after the therapeutic relationship ends. It is not a primary focus during the working phase.

B. Identifying problem-solving skills: The working phase focuses on active problem-solving, setting goals, and implementing strategies to address the client's issues. This is when trust is established further, and the nurse and client collaborate on interventions and coping techniques to promote positive outcomes.

C. Summarizing the goals and objectives achieved: Summarizing achievements is part of the termination phase, when the nurse and client reflect on progress made. It helps bring closure to the relationship but does not belong to the working phase where the focus is still on active progress.

D. Specifying a contract: Specifying a contract is a task of the orientation phase, where the structure of the nurse-client relationship, roles, and expectations are defined. This lays the foundation before entering into the problem-solving focus of the working phase.

A. Request the family members leave the client's room: Family members may choose to stay if they wish, and they should be allowed to participate or be present during postmortem care if it aligns with their emotional needs or cultural practices. Forcing them to leave is not appropriate unless required for specific procedures.

B. Place dentures in the client's mouth: Placing dentures helps maintain the natural shape and appearance of the face, offering a more familiar and comforting appearance for the family during viewing. This is an important step in preparing the body respectfully.

C. Remove the client's personal hair pieces: Hairpieces should be left in place unless the family or facility policy requests otherwise. Removing them without need can alter the client’s appearance and potentially distress the family.

D. Lower the head of the client's bed: The head of the bed should be elevated slightly, not lowered, to prevent blood from pooling in the head and face, which could cause discoloration and swelling before the family views the body.
