Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Fill the bath basin with tap water that is 39° C (102.2° F) is too warm for bathing; the recommended water temperature is typically around 37°C (98.6°F) to prevent burns or discomfort.

B. Pull the curtain around the client's bed ensures privacy for the client during the bath, which is important for maintaining dignity and confidentiality.

C. Wash the client's arms and hands first is not necessarily the first step; typically, washing the face and then moving to the rest of the body is preferred.

D. Use a washcloth to wipe the client's eyes from the outer canthus to the inner canthus is incorrect as it should be done from the inner canthus to the outer canthus to avoid spreading any discharge across the eye.

A. Insist the client take prescribed medications. B. Inform the client that the medication is the same as taken at home. C. Tell the client that refusal of the medication is considered noncompliance. D. Encourage the client to verbalize questions.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Insisting the client take medications does not respect the client’s autonomy and is not an advocacy action.

B. Informing the client that the medication is the same as taken at home does not necessarily address the client’s concerns or questions.

C. Telling the client that refusal is noncompliance does not support client autonomy and does not address their concerns.

D. Encouraging the client to verbalize questions supports their right to be informed and make decisions about their care, demonstrating advocacy.
