A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is taking acetaminophen to relieve headache pain.

Which of the following conditions in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication?

Choice A reason:

Being honest with the parents of a child about the need to report suspected abuse is not the correct option. This option involves honesty and ethical responsibility but does not pertain to the fair distribution of resources or benefits.

Choice B reason

Keeping a promise to visit with a client who is housebound after the delivery of care is not the appropriate option. While keeping promises is an ethical principle, it is not related to the fair distribution of resources or benefits.

Choice C reason:

Accepting the decision of an older adult client to live alone in her home is not the correct option. Respecting a client's autonomy and right to make decisions about their living arrangements is an ethical principle, but it is not directly related to distributive justice.

Choice D reason:

The ethical principle of distributive justice is about fair and equitable distribution of resources and benefits within a society or group. It emphasizes providing equal access to services and resources to all individuals, especially those who are vulnerable or marginalized. In this context, the nurse demonstrates distributive justice by ensuring that a homeless client receives preventive medical care, which means they are being provided with necessary health resources and services that might otherwise be challenging for them to access due to their disadvantaged situation.

The correct answer is C.

Hypertension. The rationale is that oral contraceptives contain synthetic hormones that can increase blood pressure and increase the risk of

cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack or blood clots. The nurse should advise the client to avoid oral contraceptives if she has hypertension or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease and suggest alternative methods of birth control.
