A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a partial hearing loss about how to modify the home environment. Which of the following is a priority modification that the nurse should include?

A. Show the assistive personnel where to apply the medication: This action is not appropriate because only licensed healthcare providers, such as nurses, are allowed to administer
medications.
B. Ask the client when the previous nurse last applied the medication: While communication with the client is important, it is not a reliable method to verify medication administration accuracy.
C. Identify the client by comparing the medication administration record with the client's room number: This action is insufficient to verify the correct client because there could be multiple clients with the same medication due.
D. Compare the label of the medication container with the medication administration record three times: Correct. This action is known as the "three checks" and is an essential step in medication administration. The nurse should compare the medication label with the medication administration record before removing the medication, after removing the medication, and at the bedside before administering the medication.

A: Correct. Regular dental assessments every 6 months are recommended for all individuals, including young adults, to maintain good oral health and detect any potential issues early.
B: Incorrect. Testicular examinations are important for young adult males, but they should be performed monthly as part of testicular self-examination, not every 5 years.
C: Incorrect. Young adult females should have a routine physical examination annually, not every 4 years, to monitor their overall health and address any potential health concerns.
D: Incorrect. While tuberculosis screening is essential in certain populations, such as healthcare workers or individuals at high risk of exposure, a tuberculosis skin test every 3 years is not a standard recommendation for all young adults.
