A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a child and his family. His parents define family as a husband, wife, and child. This definition is which type of family form?

Rationale:

A. The client should sign the informed consent if they are alert, oriented, and capable of making decisions. The client's ability to understand the procedure and its implications is key to valid informed consent.

B. The client's son, who has a durable power of attorney would only sign the consent if the client were not competent or unable to understand the procedure, which is not the case here.

C. The client's partner may be involved in the decision-making process but does not have the legal authority to sign the consent unless designated as a legal representative.

D. The client's daughter, who is the primary caregiver would also not have the legal authority to sign the consent unless she holds a durable power of attorney or the client is deemed incapable of giving consent.

Rationale:

A. Providing a back rub can be done by an AP, as it does not require specialized nursing skills.

B. Transporting a client is an appropriate task for an AP if the client is stable.

C. Performing oral hygiene for a postoperative client can be managed by an AP with supervision.

D. Removing and cleaning the cannula of a new tracheostomy requires specific skills and knowledge that only a licensed nurse should perform to avoid complications.
