A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is dependent on nicotine and wishes to discontinue smoking. The nurse should inform the client that which of the following is a manifestation of nicotine withdrawal?

Document the client's behavior leading to the initiation of the restraints: Accurate and comprehensive documentation is essential in the client's medical record. This includes documenting the client's behavior or actions that necessitated the use of restraints. It is important to document the reason, duration, and type of restraint used.

Release the client's restraints every 2 hours or as per institutional policy: It is important to periodically release the restraints to assess the client's circulation, skin integrity, and overall well-being. Restraints should never be kept on continuously without intermittent release. Check the client's status every 15 minutes: The nurse should closely monitor the client's vital signs, level of comfort, and any signs of distress or complications. Frequent assessment ensures early identification and intervention if any issues arise.

Obtain informed consent: While obtaining consent is necessary for many procedures or treatments, including the use of restraints, it is not applicable in situations where there is an imminent risk of harm to the client or others. The use of restraints in mental health units is based on legal and ethical guidelines, prioritizing the client's safety and the safety of others.

Fidelity, also known as loyalty or faithfulness, refers to the nurse's commitment to keeping promises and fulfilling their responsibilities to the client. By promising to walk with the client in the outdoor courtyard each day, the nurse is demonstrating fidelity by maintaining their commitment to the client's well-being and providing the support needed to alleviate anxiety.

Autonomy refers to the client's right to make decisions about their own care and treatment. While the nurse's promise supports the client's autonomy by accommodating their preference for exercising in the courtyard, it is not the principle being demonstrated by the nurse.

Justice refers to fairness and equality in healthcare, ensuring equitable treatment and distribution of resources. While justice is an important ethical principle, it is not directly applicable in this situation.

Nonmaleficence is the principle of doing no harm and taking actions to prevent harm to the client. While the nurse's promise of walking with the client aligns with the goal of reducing anxiety, it is not specifically related to preventing harm.
