Choice A rationale:

Clients with dementia often experience difficulties with memory, cognition, and orientation, which can lead to increased risk of falls and injuries, especially when trying to perform activities of daily living such as using the toilet. Assisting the client to the toilet frequently helps prevent accidents and reduces the risk of injury from falls. Timely toileting can also improve the client's comfort and overall quality of life.

Choice B rationale:

Raising the side rails up when the client is in bed can create a physical barrier, but it is not a recommended method to prevent falls in clients with dementia. In fact, it can pose a risk by confining the client and may lead to attempts to climb over the rails, resulting in falls and injuries.

Choice C rationale:

Placing the bedside table at the foot of the bed does not directly address the client's safety needs. While it might be a matter of personal preference or convenience, it does not significantly impact the client's risk of injury.

Choice D rationale:

Keeping the television on during the night does not address the client's physical safety. While it may provide entertainment or a familiar environment, it does not mitigate the risk of falls or injuries, which is the primary concern when caring for clients with dementia.

The correct answer is choice b. “I will hang a new bag of TPN and IV tubing every 24 hours.”

Choice A rationale:

Monitoring the client’s blood glucose level every 8 hours is important, but it is not the best indicator of understanding the TPN procedure. Blood glucose levels should be monitored regularly, but the frequency can vary based on the client’s condition and physician’s orders.

Choice B rationale:

Hanging a new bag of TPN and IV tubing every 24 hours is correct. This practice helps prevent infection and ensures the client receives the correct formulation of nutrients.

Choice C rationale:

Increasing the rate of the TPN infusion to ensure the correct amount is given is incorrect. The rate of TPN infusion should be strictly controlled and adjusted only by a physician’s order to prevent complications such as hyperglycemia or fluid overload.

Choice D rationale:

Obtaining the client’s weight every other day is important for monitoring nutritional status, but it does not directly indicate an understanding of the TPN procedure. Daily weights are often recommended to closely monitor the client’s response to TPN.
