A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about hospice care. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Place the chair at a 90° angle to the bed: Incorrect. The chair should be placed at an angle to facilitate a smoother transfer, usually around 45° to the bed, allowing easier movement from the bed to the chair.
B. Place the chair on the client's left side: Incorrect. The chair should be positioned on the strong side of the client if possible, or the side the client will be transferring towards, not necessarily the left side.
C. Lock the wheels on the client's bed: Correct. Locking the wheels on the bed ensures that the bed remains stationary during the transfer, providing safety and stability for the client.
D. Raise the height of the client's bed: Incorrect. The bed should be adjusted to a height that allows the nurse to safely transfer the client without excessive bending or stretching. However, raising it too high might make it difficult for the nurse to maneuver the client safely.

A. Acute pain manifested by client's report: This diagnosis is too general and does not address the specific issue of unknown etiology or the need for further investigation.
B. Acute pain related to psychosomatic condition: This diagnosis assumes a psychosomatic cause without sufficient evidence. The cause of the pain is not yet clear, so this may not be accurate.
C. Acute pain related to unknown etiology: This diagnosis accurately reflects the situation of pain with an unclear cause and is appropriate for guiding further assessment and investigation.
D. Acute pain related to unknown factors: This diagnosis is vague and less specific than "unknown etiology," which provides a clearer framework for understanding the cause of the pain.
