After completing post anesthesia recovery assessments, the registered nurse (RN) asks the practical nurse (PN) to transfer four clients, each two hours post-birth, to the postpartum unit. Which client should the PN ask the RN to reassess prior to transfer?

Choice A rationale:

Instructing the UAP to apply a warm blanket and massage the client's back is the appropriate intervention in response to the client's complaints of feeling dizzy and cold during a fecal impaction removal procedure. These symptoms suggest a vasovagal response, which can be managed by keeping the client warm and providing comfort. This intervention helps increase blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

Choice B rationale:

Inserting a gloved finger into the rectum and massaging the rectal sphincter is not the first-line intervention when a client complains of feeling dizzy and cold during a fecal impaction removal. This invasive procedure should be reserved for cases where other interventions have failed, and it is necessary to complete the impaction removal.

Choice C rationale:

Stopping the procedure and observing for a reduction in symptoms before continuing is a reasonable approach, but it does not address the immediate discomfort and distress the client is experiencing. Providing comfort measures, such as applying a warm blanket and massaging the client's back, should be the initial response.

Choice D rationale:

Encouraging the client to take slow, deep breaths while continuing the procedure may not be effective in addressing the client's symptoms of dizziness and coldness. The client may require immediate comfort measures to stabilize their condition.

Choice A rationale:

The client being the oldest of their siblings is not a contributing factor related to the development of conduct disorder. Family dynamics such as birth order may have some influence on personality traits, but they are not a primary factor in the development of conduct disorder.

Choice B rationale:

The fact that the client's father lives in the client's home is a family dynamic, but it does not necessarily contribute to the development of conduct disorder. Other factors related to parenting style, communication, and family interactions play a more significant role in the development of conduct disorder.

Choice C rationale:

The client's mother having asthma is a medical condition and not a family dynamic that directly contributes to the development of conduct disorder. Conduct disorder is more closely associated with social, environmental, and psychological factors.

Choice D rationale:

The presence of several siblings in the family dynamic can contribute to the development of conduct disorder. Increased family size can lead to competition for attention and resources, which may affect the child's behavior and interactions. Sibling relationships and family dynamics are crucial in shaping a child's behavior and psychological well-being.
