"A provider may speak to a client's employer regarding a substance use disorder.”.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Discussing a client’s information with staff who have provided care in the past is not appropriate unless it is necessary for the client’s current care.

Choice B rationale:

The provider does not need to give consent to discuss health information with the client’s family. The client is the one who must give consent.

This statement is correct. A client retains the legal right to privacy of health information even after they have died.

A provider may not speak to a client’s employer regarding a substance use disorder without the client’s consent.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Lowering the window shade in the client’s room does not directly contribute to fall prevention. It might even increase the risk if it makes the room darker and the client can’t see clearly.

Choice B rationale:

Using a vest restraint is not the best option. Restraints should be used as a last resort, and only if less restrictive interventions have been ineffective.

Choice C rationale:

Placing the client in a room close to the nurses’ station allows for more frequent observation and quicker response if the client needs assistance, reducing the risk of falls.

Choice D rationale:

While recreational therapy can be beneficial for clients with dementia, it does not directly address the issue of fall prevention.

A. Alcohol use disorder B. Currently married. C. Access to guns in the home. D. Sibling history of suicide. E. Terminal liver cancer.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Alcohol use disorder is a risk factor for suicide. Alcohol can increase impulsivity and decrease inhibitions, which can lead to suicidal behaviors.

Choice B rationale:

Being currently married is generally considered a protective factor against suicide, not a risk factor.

Choice C rationale:

Access to lethal means, such as guns in the home, is a significant risk factor for suicide.

Choice D rationale:

A family history of suicide, including a sibling history of suicide, is a risk factor for suicide.

Choice E rationale:

Terminal illnesses, such as liver cancer, can increase feelings of hopelessness and despair, which are risk factors for suicide.
