A. Veracity: Veracity refers to the ethical principle of being truthful with clients. While honesty is important in nursing, providing a meal to the client addresses their immediate physiological need rather than demonstrating truthfulness.

B. Boundary crossing: Boundary crossing occurs when a nurse engages in actions that deviate from professional limits, potentially for personal or emotional reasons. In this case, providing food to meet a basic client need does not constitute a boundary violation.

C. Countertransference: Countertransference happens when a nurse projects personal feelings onto a client, which can interfere with care. The nurse’s action here is intentional and focused on meeting the client’s needs, not influenced by personal unresolved emotions.

D. Promoting trust: Interrupting the bath to ensure the client receives nourishment demonstrates the nurse’s attentiveness, responsiveness, and prioritization of the client’s well-being. This action fosters a therapeutic relationship and builds trust between the nurse and client.

A. "I will give this medication to my child once daily in the evening.": Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist taken once daily, usually in the evening, to prevent asthma symptoms. Administering it at the correct time supports consistent therapeutic levels and effective long-term asthma control.

B. "I will give this medication to my child every 2 hours if he is wheezing": Montelukast is not a rescue medication and should not be administered for acute asthma attacks. Using it every 2 hours for wheezing is inappropriate and could delay effective emergency treatment.

C. "It takes 2 months of scheduled use before this medication is effective.": Montelukast generally begins working within a few days to weeks, not two months. Delaying assessment of effectiveness for two months could lead to uncontrolled asthma symptoms.

D. "I can stop giving my child this medication if he is taking a steroid.": Montelukast can be used alongside inhaled or oral steroids to manage asthma and should not be discontinued without consulting the healthcare provider. Stopping it abruptly may reduce asthma control.
