Select all that apply.

Fluid intake

Temperature

Wound findings

Pain level

Report of nausea

Bowel sounds

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : D,E,F

A. Fluid intake: While fluid balance is important, there is no specific information indicating that changes in fluid intake are an indicator of the client’s condition improving in this context.
B. Temperature: The client's temperature has increased from 38.3°C (101°F) on Day 1 to 39.2°C (102.5°F) on Day 4. An increase in temperature indicates a possible infection or ongoing inflammation and does not suggest an improvement in the client’s condition.
C. Wound findings: There are no documented wound findings in the given notes. Thus, wound findings are not applicable in determining whether the client’s condition has improved in this scenario.
D. Pain level: The client's pain level has decreased from 7 to 3, indicating improvement.
E. Report of nausea: The client reports feeling less nauseous and has not vomited since yesterday, which is a sign of improvement.
F. Bowel sounds: The bowel sounds are more regular and less high-pitched, suggesting improvement in gastrointestinal function.

Correct Answer is B,E,C,A,D

Explanation

Correct order:

Perform hand hygiene.
Remove the dressing and tape from the venipuncture site.
Clamp the IV tubing.
Apply pressure to the venipuncture site with sterile gauze.
Withdraw the catheter from the client's vein.

Rationale:

Hand hygiene is the first step to prevent infection before touching any equipment or the client.
Removing the dressing and tape is done after hand hygiene to expose the IV insertion site, preparing it for removal.
Clamping the IV tubing helps stop the infusion and prevents blood from flowing out when the catheter is removed.
Applying pressure with sterile gauze helps to prevent bleeding and hematoma formation after the catheter is removed.
Withdrawing the catheter should be the final step to complete the procedure.
