The mother of a young child with eczema asks about the type of clothing that is best for her child's comfort. Which choice should the practical nurse (PN) recommend?

Based on the given information, the statements that indicate the client's confusion is resolving are:

• Asks how long he has been in the hospital: This shows cognitive awareness and the ability to ask relevant and coherent questions.
• States he is hungry: This indicates a return to normal appetite and the ability to recognize and express basic needs.
• Recognizes his daughter: This demonstrates the ability to recognize and identify a familiar individual, suggesting an improved level of cognitive functioning.
• Oriented to time, place, and self: Being aware of the current time, location, and personal identity reflects an improved level of orientation and mental clarity.

• The statement "Drinking broth" does reflect the client's willingness and ability to consume food.

The following statements suggest ongoing confusion or potential issues:

• Clawing at the air: This behavior may indicate restlessness, agitation, or disorientation.
• Keeps trying to get out of bed to find the swimming pool: This behavior may indicate confusion or an altered perception of reality.

The statement "Oxygen saturation on 0.5L of 100%" provides information about the client's oxygen saturation level but does not specifically address the resolution of confusion.

- Seizure precautions are measures taken to protect a client who is at risk of having a seizure, which is a sudden and abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, movement, sensation, or consciousness. Seizure precautions include providing a safe environment, monitoring the client's vital signs and neurological status, administering anticonvulsant medications, and documenting the onset, duration, and characteristics of any seizure activity.

- One of the potential complications of a seizure is aspiration, which is the inhalation of foreign material into the lungs, such as saliva, vomit, or food. Aspiration can cause choking, pneumonia, or respiratory distress. To prevent or treat aspiration, the practical nurse (PN) should ensure the ready availability of equipment to perform suctioning of the trachea, which is the tube that connects the mouth and nose to the lungs. Suctioning of the trachea involves inserting a catheter through the nose or mouth into the trachea and applying negative pressure to remove any secretions or debris from the airway.
- Therefore, option A is the correct answer, while options B, C, and D are incorrect.
