A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has crutches regarding the use of the three-point gait.
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

The nurse should remove the gloves first because they are the most contaminated piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) and should be discarded as soon as possible.

The nurse should then remove the gown, which may also be soiled with blood or body fluids, by grasping it at the neck and peeling it off inside out.

The mask and goggles should be removed last, by touching only the straps or earpieces, and avoiding touching the front of the mask or the lenses of the goggles.

Choice A is wrong because goggles are not the most contaminated piece of PPE and should be removed after the gown.

Choice B is wrong because gown is not the most contaminated piece of PPE and should be removed after the gloves.

Choice C is wrong because mask is not the most contaminated piece of PPE and should be removed after the gown and goggles.

Normal ranges for wound irrigation pressure are between 4 and 15 psi (pounds per square inch).

Higher pressures may damage the wound tissue and increase the risk of infection.

Lower pressures may not be effective in removing debris and bacteria from the wound.

The correct answer is choice A: "I will speak with your provider on your behalf."

Choice A rationale: The principle of advocacy in nursing involves supporting and speaking up for clients to ensure their rights, needs, and preferences are respected. By offering to speak with the provider on the client's behalf, the nurse demonstrates advocacy by actively working to represent the client's interests and facilitate communication between the client and the health care team.

Choice B rationale: While promising to fulfill commitments is an aspect of maintaining professional integrity, it does not directly demonstrate advocacy. Advocacy is more about actively supporting the client's rights and needs rather than personal dedication to fulfilling promises.

Choice C rationale: Maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of client information is essential in nursing practice, but it is not specifically related to advocacy. Privacy is a separate ethical principle that focuses on protecting the client's personal information and upholding their right to privacy.

Choice D rationale: Encouraging clients to make decisions about their health care is important for promoting autonomy. However, advocacy involves actively supporting the client's decisions and ensuring their rights are respected, rather than simply allowing them to make decisions.
