A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has COPD. Which of the following laboratory findings indicates a need to request a dietary referral for the client?

It is important to provide choices for the client, but limit them to two or three options to prevent confusion and decision-making difficulties.

Use visual cues to assist the client with locating the bathroom, such as pictures or color-coded signs instead of written signs.

Avoid using confrontation to manage the client's behavior, as it can increase agitation and aggression. Instead, use redirection and positive reinforcement.

Provide a calm and non-stimulating environment for the client, as overstimulation can lead to confusion and agitation.

During a mass casualty event, it is crucial for the nurse to assess and determine the acuity level (severity) and number of casualties who will be arriving at the healthcare facility. This information helps in planning and organizing resources, triaging patients based on their needs, and ensuring that appropriate care is provided to those who require immediate attention.

Delegating tasks to emergency health care specialists is a role that may be performed by a nurse in a leadership or supervisory position. However, the immediate priority for the nurse is to assess and triage incoming casualties.

Providing informational updates to members of the media is usually handled by designated spokespersons or communication specialists within the healthcare facility or incident command system. Nurses are primarily focused on patient care and should not be responsible for media communication during a mass casualty event.

Assisting in discharging stable clients to home is not directly related to the immediate response and care of casualties from a mass casualty event. The nurse's focus in such situations is primarily on the management of the incoming casualties and ensuring the availability of resources and care for those who require immediate attention.
