A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has a prescription for misoprostol for induction of labor. Which of the following findings is a contraindication for administration of this medication?

Answer: B

Rationale:

A) Activate the fire alarm system:

While activating the fire alarm system is essential in alerting everyone to the fire, the immediate safety of the clients must be prioritized first. Ensuring clients are safe from potential harm should precede alerting others.

B) Evacuate clients from the area:

Evacuating clients from the area is the first priority as it directly ensures their safety. In the event of a fire, removing individuals from the source of danger is crucial to prevent injury or harm.

C) Obtain and use a fire extinguisher:

Using a fire extinguisher to put out the fire is important, but it should not be the first action. Ensuring clients are evacuated to safety must take precedence before attempting to control the fire.

D) Close the doors and windows on the unit:

Closing doors and windows can help contain the fire and smoke, but this should follow the evacuation of clients. The primary concern is to get clients to a safe area first before taking measures to contain the fire.

A. Peanut butter: Peanut butter is typically thick and sticky, which can pose a choking hazard for individuals with dysphagia, especially if they have difficulty swallowing thicker textures. Therefore, peanut butter is not a suitable recommendation for a client with dysphagia.
B. Crispy rice bar: Crispy rice bars are often dry and crunchy, which can be challenging for individuals with dysphagia to swallow safely. Foods with dry or brittle textures can increase the risk of aspiration or choking, particularly in those with swallowing difficulties.
C. Scrambled eggs: Scrambled eggs are a suitable option for individuals with dysphagia, especially if they are prepared to a soft and moist consistency. Eggs are a good source of protein and can be easily modified to meet the texture requirements of a dysphagia diet. Soft and moist foods are generally safer for individuals with swallowing difficulties.
D. Soda crackers: Soda crackers are dry and crumbly, which can present a choking risk for individuals with dysphagia. Foods with a dry and crumbly texture should be avoided or modified to a safer consistency for individuals with swallowing difficulties. Therefore, soda crackers are not recommended for a client with dysphagia.
