Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A.If the client is independent, give them privacy to bathe, if they prefer. If leaving a client unattended, check on them every 5 minutes or more frequently as needed. Ensure the client knows how to use safety items such as shower chairs and grab bars.

B.Adding bath oil can make the tub slippery and increase the risk of falls. If used, it should be added before the client gets in, and the client should be made aware so they can be cautious.

C.Draining the tub water before the client gets out helps prevent slips and falls that can occur if the client attempts to exit the tub while the water is still present. This practice enhances safety by reducing the risk of accidents.

D.Tub baths or very warm showers can lead to a person feeling faint, nauseous, or tired. Baths should not last longer than 20 minutes and should be discontinued at the first sign of patient discomfort, weakness, or complaints of feeling faint.

A. Temporary memory loss B. Neck pain C. Voice alteration D. Tingling of the scalp

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

ECT can cause temporary memory loss, particularly for events occurring around the time of the treatment. The client may experience difficulty remembering details of recent events or conversations. This effect is usually temporary and improves over time.

B. Neck pain is not a typical adverse reaction to ECT. The procedure itself does not involve manipulation or strain on the neck, and significant neck pain following ECT would be unusual. However, it is essential for the nurse to assess and address any discomfort or pain the client experiences after the procedure.
C. Voice alteration is not a known adverse reaction to ECT. ECT primarily affects the brain and does not directly impact the vocal cords or voice production.
D. Tingling of the scalp is not a common adverse reaction to ECT. During the procedure, the client receives a brief electrical stimulus, usually applied through electrodes placed on the scalp.
Sensations experienced during the procedure are typically related to the electrical stimulation and are transient.
