A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the facility's fire intervention plan with new assistive personnel. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Fats: While fats provide energy and help with cell membrane structure, they are not the primary nutrient required to promote wound healing. Excess fat intake without proper balance may not directly aid in faster tissue repair.

B. Calcium: Calcium is important for bone health and muscle function but does not play a central role in soft tissue wound healing. It is more critical in fracture healing rather than open wound repair.

C. Vitamin D: Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and bone health. Although it contributes to immune function, it is not the main nutrient needed to directly repair skin and soft tissue wounds.

D. Protein: Protein is essential for wound healing because it supports cell growth, tissue repair, and immune function. Adequate protein intake is critical to form new tissue, promote collagen synthesis, and restore skin integrity in clients with open wounds.

A. "I have switched from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes.": Although electronic cigarettes may reduce exposure to certain harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke, they still pose significant health risks. This change does not reflect truly limiting risky behavior but rather substituting one form of risk for another.

B. "Sometimes I am exposed to toxic chemicals at my workplace, but not any that have harmed me.": Exposure to toxic chemicals, even without immediate harm, still represents ongoing risk. A proactive approach would involve using protective equipment or seeking safer work conditions.

C. "Two of my grandparents had diabetes, so I try to eat a healthy diet.": Actively modifying diet in response to a family health history shows a positive, preventative approach and reflects conscious efforts to limit risk-taking behaviors and promote long-term health.

D. "My job and home life are both very stressful, but I haven't been able to do anything about that.": Chronic unmanaged stress is a health risk, and acknowledging stress without taking steps to manage it indicates that the client is not effectively limiting risk behaviors.
