A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who needs to increase vitamin C intake to promote wound healing. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?

Choice A reason: This is incorrect because the crutch tips should be about 15 cm (6 inches) away from the feet to provide stability and prevent tripping.

Choice B reason: This is correct because the three-point gait involves bearing weight on the unaffected leg while moving both crutches and the affected leg forward at the same time.

Choice C reason: This is incorrect because the crutches should be at the level of the hips, not the waist, to avoid pressure on the axillae and nerves.

Choice D reason: This is incorrect because the arms should be slightly bent at the elbows when walking to reduce fatigue and strain.

Choice A reason: Witnessing the client’s signature on a consent form is not necessary for an indwelling urinary catheter insertion, which is a routine and noninvasive procedure. The nurse only needs to witness the signature for invasive or high-risk procedures that require written consent.

Choice B reason: Obtaining verbal consent from the client is the appropriate action for the nurse to take before inserting an indwelling urinary catheter. The nurse should explain the purpose, benefits, risks, and alternatives of the procedure and ensure that the client understands and agrees to it.

Choice C reason: Having another nurse co-sign the client’s consent is not required for an indwelling urinary catheter insertion, which is a routine and noninvasive procedure. The nurse only needs to have another nurse co-sign the consent for procedures that involve blood transfusions, organ donations, or research participation.

Choice D reason: Checking the medical record for the client’s signature on a previous consent form is not sufficient for verifying the client’s express consent for an indwelling urinary catheter insertion. The nurse should obtain a new consent for each procedure, as the client has the right to change their mind or refuse the treatment at any time.
