A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about the use of a quad cane. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale:

A. Providing the client with three large meals each day may be overwhelming and may not promote an increase in food intake.

B. Limiting snacks between meals may not promote an increase in food intake and may contribute to malnutrition.

C. Providing the client with finger foods for meals is a practical approach that can promote an increase in food intake and reduce the risk of malnutrition.

D. Restricting visitors during meals may not promote an increase in food intake and may contribute to social isolation.

Rationale:

A. Allowing sterile forceps to rest in a container of sterile does not affect the sterility of the field.

B. Pouring sterile solution with the bottle held over the field is an inappropriate technique since it breaches the sterility of the field.

C. Placing unnecessary sterile items on the field is not ideal, but it does not indicate contamination of the surgical field.

D. The handle of a pair of sterile scissors resting 5 cm (2 in) from the field's edge does not indicate contamination of the surgical field. The scissors should be placed within easy reach of the nurse but should not touch non-sterile items.
