The nurse is developing an activity plan for a client. The nurse should recognize that which activity plan would best conserve the client's energy without compromising physical or mental health?

Choice A reason: Scheduling energy-intensive activities at the time of day when the client has higher energy levels is an activity plan that would best conserve the client's energy without compromising physical or mental health because it allows the client to perform tasks when they feel most capable and comfortable, as well as balance rest and activity throughout the day.

Choice B reason: Scheduling all activities within a small block of time to allow the client a longer, uninterrupted rest period is not an activity plan that would best conserve the client's energy without compromising physical or mental health because it can cause fatigue, stress, and frustration for the client, as well as reduce their mobility and function.

Choice C reason: Scheduling toilet breaks before and after any other planned activity is not an activity plan that would best conserve the client's energy without compromising physical or mental health because it can limit the client's fluid intake and output, as well as increase the risk of urinary tract infections or constipation.

Choice D reason: Scheduling the client's hygiene activities and limiting visitors is not an activity plan that would best conserve the client's energy without compromising physical or mental health because it can neglect the client's social and emotional needs, as well as isolate the client from their support system.

Choice A reason: A public health nurse is a nurse who works to promote and protect the health of populations and communities, not specific workplaces.

Choice B reason: A community nurse specialist is a nurse who has advanced education and training in a specific area of community health, such as mental health, gerontology, or maternal-child healtH.

Choice C reason: A nurse clinician is a nurse who has expertise in a clinical area of nursing practice, such as critical care, oncology, or wound carE.

Choice D reason: An occupational health nurse is a nurse who works to prevent and treat work-related injuries and illnesses, as well as promote the health and safety of workers and the environment.
