Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Documenting the client’s behavior every hour is not necessary. The nurse should monitor and document the client’s condition, but this does not need to be done every hour.

Choice B rationale:

Providing range-of-motion exercises to all extremities every 2 hours is important when a client is in restraints. This helps to prevent muscle stiffness and maintain circulation.

Choice C rationale:

The provider does not need to renew the prescription every 24 hours. The use of restraints should be reassessed regularly, but a new prescription is not required unless the restraints are removed and then need to be reapplied.

Choice D rationale:

Keeping staff interactions with the client to a minimum is not recommended. The client should be monitored closely and regular interaction can help to calm the client and reduce the need for restraints.

A. Restrict interactions with other clients B. Document the client's behavior every 2 hr. C. Implement 24-hr one-to-one nursing observation. D. Administer prescribed medication via the IM route.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Restricting interactions with other clients may be necessary in some cases, but it’s not the first precaution to take. The nurse must first ensure the client’s safety.

Choice B rationale:

Documenting the client’s behavior every 2 hr is important, but it’s not the first precaution. The nurse must first ensure the client’s safety.

Choice C rationale:

Implementing 24-hr one-to-one nursing observation is the first precaution the nurse should take. This ensures the client’s safety following an overdose.

Choice D rationale:

Administering prescribed medication via the IM route is not a precaution. It’s a method of medication administration.
