A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of expectant parents regarding the proper use of a car seat. Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

The instruction that the nurse should include is "You can take a shower 1 day after your procedure." According to the Cleveland Clinic, the morning after the procedure, the client may take the dressing off the catheter insertion site. The easiest way to do this is when showering, get the tape and dressing wet and remove it.

Option a is incorrect because there is no information suggesting that a client must wait 3 days before resuming a regular diet after a cardiac catheterization.

Option c is incorrect because according to the Cleveland Clinic, clients should gradually increase their activities until they reach their normal activity level within one week after the procedure.

Option d is incorrect because there is no information suggesting that a client must wait 1 week before returning to school after cardiac catheterization.

The client has state-sponsored health insurance: While information about the client's health insurance coverage is important for billing and financial purposes, it may not be directly relevant to the discussion in an interprofessional team meeting unless it specifically impacts the client's access to healthcare resources or affects decision-making regarding their care plan.

The reason for including this information is that difficulty ambulating can impact the client's overall mobility and functional status. It can have implications for their ability to perform activities of daily living, increase the risk of falls, and require additional interventions or resources. By sharing this information with the interprofessional team, appropriate strategies and interventions can be discussed and implemented to address the client's mobility issues.

The client's next dressing change is scheduled in 4 hours: The timing of the client's dressing change may be important for nursing documentation and scheduling purposes. However, it may not be a significant focus of discussion in an interprofessional team meeting unless there are specific concerns or issues related to the dressing change that require collaboration and coordination among the healthcare team.

The client's vital signs are checked every 8 hours: The frequency of vital sign checks is an important aspect of nursing care and monitoring. However, unless there are specific concerns or deviations from normal vital signs that need to be discussed, it may not be the primary information to include in an interprofessional team meeting. The focus of the meeting is typically on broader aspects of the client's condition, care plan, and multidisciplinary interventions.
