The community health nurse utilizes which of the following approaches to explain the factors that allow the reproduction and spread of infectious disease?

Choice A reason: Giving the patient extra time to perform activities is an appropriate action by the nurse. Bradykinesia is a symptom of Parkinson's disease that causes slow and reduced movement, making it difficult for the patient to initiate and complete tasks. The nurse should respect the patient's autonomy and dignity, and allow them to do as much as they can by themselves, without rushing or interfering.

Choice B reason: Teaching the client to walk more quickly when ambulating is not an appropriate action by the nurse. Bradykinesia can affect the patient's gait and balance, making them prone to falls and injuries. The nurse should not encourage the patient to walk faster than their ability, but rather provide them with assistive devices, such as a cane or walker, and ensure a safe environment.

Choice C reason: Placing the client on a low-protein, low-calorie diet is not an appropriate action by the nurse. Bradykinesia does not require any specific dietary modifications, unless the patient has other comorbidities, such as diabetes or hypertension. The nurse should ensure that the patient has adequate nutrition and hydration, and avoid foods that may interfere with their medication absorption, such as high-fiber or high-fat foods.

Choice D reason: Completing passive range-of-motion exercises daily is not an appropriate action by the nurse. Bradykinesia can cause muscle stiffness and rigidity, which can limit the patient's range of motion and flexibility. The nurse should encourage the patient to do active range-of-motion exercises, which involve moving their own joints to their full extent, rather than passive ones, which involve someone else moving their joints for them. Active exercises can help maintain muscle strength and joint mobility and prevent contractures and deformities.

Choice A: Limit fluid intake to prevent incontinence. This is incorrect because limiting fluid intake can lead to dehydration, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. Fluid intake should be adequate to maintain hydration and flush out bacteria from the urinary tract.

Choice B: Provide regular perineal care to prevent skin breakdown. This is correct because reflex incontinence can cause urine leakage and skin irritation, which can increase the risk of infection and pressure ulcers. Regular perineal care can help keep the skin clean and dry, and prevent complications.

Choice C: Administer hypotonic IV fluids. This is incorrect because hypotonic IV fluids can cause fluid overload, hyponatremia, and cerebral edema. Hypotonic IV fluids are not indicated for clients with reflex incontinence.

Choice D: Teach Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor. This is incorrect because Kegel exercises are effective for clients with stress or urge incontinence, but not for clients with reflex incontinence. Reflex incontinence is caused by a loss of voluntary control over the bladder due to a spinal cord injury, and Kegel exercises cannot restore this function.
