A quality control nurse is reviewing medication prescriptions for a group of clients.

Which of the following medication prescriptions should the nurse identify as being complete?

Banana slices are soft, easy to chew, and can be picked up by the toddler’s fingers, which promotes independence in eating. According to the CDC, foods that toddlers should avoid include:

• Added sugars and no-calorie sweeteners, such as sugar-sweetened and diet drinks
• High-salt foods, such as canned foods, processed meats, frozen dinners, fast food, and junk food
• Unpasteurized juice, milk, yogurt, or cheese
• Foods that may cause choking, such as hard or crunchy foods, sticky foods, stringy cheese, and foods that are not cut up into small pieces

Choice A is wrong because popcorn is a choking hazard for toddlers.

It is hard, crunchy, and can get stuck in the airway. The NHS advises not to give whole nuts and peanuts to children under 5 years old.

Choice B is wrong because grapes are also a choking hazard for toddlers.

They are round, slippery, and can block the airway. The NHS recommends cutting grapes into quarters before giving them to young children.

Choice D is wrong because hot dogs are high in salt and can cause choking if not cut up into small pieces. The Extension warns against giving hot dogs to young toddlers.

Choice A reason:

Determine previous coping skills used by the client is not appropriate. Assessing the client's previous coping skills is an essential step in the assessment phase of the therapeutic relationship, not specifically during the orientation phase. This information helps the nurse to understand the client's coping mechanisms and identify potential areas for improvement or support.

Choice B reason:

Facilitate the client's problem-solving skills is not appropriate the nurse may work on facilitating the client's problem-solving skills throughout the therapeutic relationship, including during the working phase. During this phase, the nurse and client collaborate to explore and address the client's concerns and challenges.

Choice Creason:

Assisting the client in expressing alternative behaviours is not appropriate. This action may also be part of the working phase, where the nurse helps the client explore alternative behaviours and coping strategies to address their issues and challenges.

Choice D reason:

The orientation phase is the initial stage of the therapeutic relationship where the nurse and the client get to know each other and establish the groundwork for their working relationship. During this phase, it is essential to clarify the roles and responsibilities of both the nurse and the client to ensure a clear understanding of each other's expectations.
