Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices area to specify which type of exercises the client needs, two actions the nurse should take to facilitate the exercises, and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

A. Assault and battery involve intentional harmful or offensive contact with another person without their consent. Criminal assault is the threat of harm, while battery is the actual physical contact.
In this scenario, the nurse's actions were aimed at providing assistance to the victim, not causing harm. Therefore, criminal assault and battery would not apply.
B. Good Samaritan immunity protects individuals who provide assistance in emergency situations from liability for any injuries or damages that may occur as a result of their actions, as long as they act in good faith and without expectation of compensation. In this scenario, the nurse stopped to provide assistance voluntarily and acted in the victim's best interest. Good Samaritan immunity would likely apply in this situation, protecting the nurse from liability for any unintended consequences of their actions.
C. In this scenario, if the nurse failed to provide necessary care or took actions that deviated from the standard of care expected in similar circumstances, it could be considered negligent. However, the specific concern in this scenario is more aligned with abandonment of the victim rather than negligent acts of omission.

D. Abandonment occurs when a healthcare provider discontinues care without ensuring that the patient's needs are met or transferring care to another qualified individual. In this scenario, the nurse reported the victim's condition to EMS before leaving the scene. The nurse did not abandon the victim as they ensured that the victim received ongoing care from EMS.

D. This action demonstrates understanding of the importance of donning gloves when entering a client's room to prevent the transmission of microorganisms between clients and to maintain infection control practices. It is essential for UAP to don gloves before providing care to clients to reduce the risk of contamination and infection transmission.
A. Sterile gloves are typically not necessary for routine handling of body fluids unless performing a sterile procedure. Non-sterile gloves are sufficient for most tasks involving body fluids.
B. Sterile gloves are typically not necessary for routine care of clients with HIV unless performing a sterile procedure.
C. While it's convenient to have gloves readily available, keeping them in a pocket without proper storage or protection may compromise their sterility and effectiveness.
