A nurse is teaching about delegation with a newly licensed nurse.
Which of the following statements if made by the newly licensed nurse indicates understanding?

Choice A rationale:

Health promotion is the correct concept demonstrated by the nurse. Health promotion refers to activities and strategies that aim to enhance an individual's overall health and well-being. Educating the client with heart disease about the importance of eating a heart-healthy diet is a proactive step towards improving their health.

Choice B rationale:

Holistic health is a broader approach that considers the whole person, including physical, mental, and social aspects. While it is an important concept, the nurse, in this scenario, is primarily focused on educating the client about a specific aspect of their health, which is heart disease management.

Choice C rationale:

Health education is a component of health promotion, but it specifically refers to the process of providing individuals with knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health. In this case, the nurse is providing education as a means of promoting the client's health.

Choice D rationale:

Primary prevention involves measures to prevent the development of a disease or condition before it occurs. While promoting a heart-healthy diet is a form of prevention, it does not specifically align with the concept of primary prevention, which typically involves actions taken to avoid the initial occurrence of a health problem.

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

Assisting the client to a side-lying position is not necessary when administering nasal decongestant drops. The client can be in an upright position or slightly tilted back.

Choice B rationale:

Holding the dropper 2 cm (1 in) above the naris is not a standard guideline for administering nasal decongestant drops. The dropper should be inserted into the nostril without touching the inside of the nostril to avoid contamination.

Choice C rationale:

Instructing the client to stay in the same position for 2 min is not necessary. After the administration of the nasal decongestant drops, the client can resume their normal activities.

Choice D rationale:

Telling the client to blow her nose gently before the instillation is the correct action. This action will help remove any secretions or crusts that could interfere with the distribution and absorption of the medication.
