A nurse is teaching a parent about increasing vitamin C in her toddler's diet. Which of the following food choices should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?

Rationale:

A. Case manager: A case manager coordinates overall care and resources for clients but does not provide direct interventions to improve fine motor skills affected by neuropathy.

B. Physical therapist: Physical therapy focuses on improving gross motor function, strength, balance, and mobility, rather than fine motor activities like buttoning clothes.

C. Social worker: Social workers assist with psychosocial support, community resources, and counseling, but they do not address functional limitations caused by neuropathy.

D. Occupational therapist: Occupational therapy specializes in helping clients perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and can provide adaptive techniques or devices to improve fine motor function, such as buttoning clothes, which is appropriate for this client’s needs.

A. Putting on sterile gloves after preparing the sterile field: This is correct aseptic practice, as sterile gloves should be donned after the sterile field is prepared to maintain sterility.

B. Placing the supplies on the sterile field and leaving a 1-inch perimeter: Maintaining a 1-inch border around the sterile field is standard practice to avoid contamination. Supplies placed within the field but outside this border remain sterile.

C. Balancing the bottle on the sterile basin while pouring the liquid: Placing a bottle on a sterile field risks contaminating the field if the bottle is not sterile. This action constitutes a break in surgical aseptic technique.

D. Applying a sterile gown after applying a sterile mask: Donning a mask before the sterile gown is appropriate to prevent contamination of the sterile gown during placement. This does not break aseptic technique.
