A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the family of an older adult client about safety precautions. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include to reduce the risk of a client fall? (Select all that apply.)

A. The statement "The costs associated with complications after a surgical procedure are factored into the scheduled reimbursement" is incorrect. Complications after a surgical procedure may lead to increased costs, but these costs are not always fully reimbursed. Preventing complications is a key strategy to control costs, as it can reduce the need for additional resources and interventions.

B. The statement "Charging the client for only a portion of the supplies used will help to decrease the costs to the hospital" is not a sustainable or ethical approach to cost containment. Proper billing practices and transparency are essential in healthcare, and passing on costs to clients in an arbitrary manner can lead to ethical and legal issues.

C. The statement "A high cost of treatment ensures that the best quality of care was provided to the client" is incorrect. While high-quality care is important, high costs do not necessarily guarantee quality. Cost-effectiveness and efficiency in healthcare delivery are critical considerations to ensure quality care without unnecessary expenses.

D. The statement "Client care should be organized for efficient use of time" is correct. Efficient organization of client care helps optimize resources, reduce unnecessary delays, and enhance overall productivity. Streamlining processes and workflow contributes to effective cost containment within a healthcare facility.

A. "I should wait until I am terminally ill to complete my advance directives."

This statement is incorrect. It is advisable to complete advance directives before a critical or terminal illness occurs to ensure that one's preferences are known and respected in the event of incapacity.

B. "I must name a relative to make decisions for me in my health care proxy."

This statement is incorrect. While naming a relative is a common choice, individuals can choose any competent person as their healthcare proxy, and it does not have to be a family member.

C. "I can state in my living will which medical treatments I want done if I am terminally ill."

This statement is correct. A living will allows individuals to specify the medical treatments they wish to receive or avoid in the event they become terminally ill or incapacitated.

D. "I will make changes to my advance directives if I change my mind about anything."

This statement is correct. Advance directives are not permanent and can be changed or updated if the individual's preferences or circumstances change.

E. "I will need to complete a new living will each time I am hospitalized."

This statement is incorrect. Advance directives, including living wills, are generally not tied to a specific hospitalization. They remain in effect unless the individual chooses to update or change them.
