A nurse is reinforcing teaching about foot care with a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A rationale:

Avoiding quoting client comments when documenting is essential to maintain privacy and confidentiality. Quoting verbatim client statements may breach confidentiality and compromise the client's trust.

Choice B rationale:

Documenting giving a dose of pain medication just prior to administration is incorrect. Documentation should reflect the time, date, and relevant details of medication administration, including the client's response and any adverse effects.

Choice C rationale:

Documenting information telephoned in by a nurse who left the unit for the day is appropriate, as long as the information is pertinent to the client's care and documented accurately. Timely communication among healthcare providers is crucial for patient safety.

Choice D rationale:

Limiting documentation to subjective information is not advisable. Documentation should include both objective and subjective data to provide a comprehensive picture of the client's condition and care. Objective data includes vital signs, observations, and measurable findings.

To calculate the amount of carbamazepine suspension needed for each dose, you can use the following formula: (Dose required in mg / Concentration available in mg/mL) = Volume to administer in mL In this case: (150 mg / 100 mg/5 mL) = Volume to administer in mL (150 mg / 20 mg/mL) = 7.5 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 7.5 mL of carbamazepine suspension via the NG tube for each dose.
