A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram.

Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Allowing the toddler to explore and handle the equipment, such as a stethoscope or blood pressure cuff, can help familiarize them with the objects and reduce anxiety. It can be done under the supervision of the nurse to ensure safety.

Starting the examination with routine immunizations can be helpful because it allows the child to get through potentially uncomfortable or distressing procedures early on. It can also create a positive association between the examination and a sense of relief after receiving vaccinations. While it is important to provide age-appropriate explanations to the toddler, it's essential to keep the explanations simple and concise. Using child-friendly language and demonstrating the procedure using dolls or toys can help the toddler understand what will happen during the examination.

Instead of completely undressing the toddler, it is generally more comfortable and less distressing to only partially undress them. For example, the nurse can ask the caregiver to remove the toddler's shirt while leaving the pants on. This approach helps maintain the child's sense of security and provides a level of modesty.

During an external chemical disaster, it is crucial to minimize the exposure of clients to the hazardous substance. Moving clients to a room above ground level with few windows can help reduce the risk of exposure to the chemical and its fumes. This is because many hazardous chemicals tend to be denser than air and may settle closer to the ground. Choosing a room above ground level and with fewer windows can provide a safer environment.

Turning on fans in the facility to circulate air can actually worsen the situation by spreading the chemical and its fumes throughout the facility, potentially exposing more individuals.

Covering the electrical outlets with wet towels is not directly related to preparing for an external chemical disaster. It may be more relevant during a fire emergency to prevent the spread of flames, but not for chemical exposure.

Opening the fireplace dampers in the day room can allow the entry of outside air and potentially introduce more of the hazardous substance into the facility.
