A nurse is teaching a class about aromatherapy. The nurse should include that which of the following essential oils can promote sleep

A) Pulling the client up from under the arms: This action can increase shearing force on the client's skin, especially if done abruptly or without proper assistance. Pulling the client up by the arms can create friction and shear between the skin and underlying tissues, potentially worsening the pressure injury.
B) Improving the client's hydration: While hydration is essential for overall skin health, it is not directly related to reducing shearing force on a pressure injury. Hydration can help maintain skin integrity and promote healing but does not directly address the mechanical forces contributing to pressure injuries.
C) Lubricating the area with skin cream: While skin cream can help moisturize and protect the skin, it may not necessarily reduce shearing force on a pressure injury. While lubrication can reduce friction between surfaces, it may not be sufficient to prevent shearing forces that occur during movement or repositioning.
D) Preventing the client from sliding in bed: This is the most appropriate action to decrease shearing force on a stage II pressure injury. Sliding in bed can exacerbate shearing forces on the skin, leading to further damage or delayed healing of the pressure injury. Using devices such as pillows, positioning aids, or specialized mattresses can help prevent the client from sliding and minimize shearing forces on the affected area, promoting healing and preventing further injury.

A. Disenfranchised grief:
Disenfranchised grief occurs when the loss experienced by an individual is not openly acknowledged or socially supported. This type of grief may occur when the relationship with the deceased is not recognized or valued by others, such as in the case of a non-traditional relationship. In this scenario, the client's grief is acknowledged but persists beyond what is considered a typical mourning period, suggesting a different type of grief.

B. Anticipatory grief:
Anticipatory grief occurs when individuals experience feelings of loss before the actual loss or death occurs. This often happens in situations where death is expected due to a terminal illness. Since the client's partner has already died, anticipatory grief does not apply in this case.

C. Prolonged grief:
This is the correct answer. Prolonged grief, also known as complicated grief, occurs when the grieving process persists over an extended period, beyond what is considered typical or socially acceptable. Individuals experiencing prolonged grief may have difficulty accepting the reality of the loss and may continue to experience intense emotions related to the loss for an extended period, often interfering with their daily functioning.

D. Uncomplicated grief:
Uncomplicated grief refers to a normal and typical response to loss that typically resolves over time. While grief is a natural response to loss, uncomplicated grief does not persist for an extended period or significantly impair the individual's ability to function in their daily life. In this scenario, the client's continued inability to accept the loss suggests that the grief may be more complex than uncomplicated grief.
