The nurse is teaching a community group about poisoning prevention. Which of the following statements from an attendee would indicate the need for further teaching?

The priority action of the nurse to ensure client safety during a transfer from the bed to a wheelchair is to lock the wheels of the wheelchair. This will prevent the wheelchair from moving and provide a stable surface for the client to transfer onto.

Encouraging the client to push up from the wheelchair is not a safe option, as it could result in the client losing their balance and falling.

Ensuring the client is bathed before getting into the wheelchair is not directly related to client safety during the transfer.

Placing the bed in the lithotomy position, which involves positioning the client with their feet in stirrups and their legs elevated, is not necessary for a transfer to a wheelchair and could potentially increase the risk of injury.

The client who should be seen by the nurse first is the elderly man with a fractured hip. This is because a fractured hip is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention to prevent complications, such as blood clots, pressure ulcers, and pneumonia.

The nurse should prioritize this client's care and ensure that they receive prompt medical attention, including pain management, immobilization of the affected hip, and preparation for surgery if necessary. Although the other clients may also require nursing care, they do not have urgent or emergent medical conditions that require immediate attention.

The client with acute diarrhea may require assessment and treatment for dehydration or infection, but this can be managed within a reasonable timeframe.

The client who is anxious may require emotional support and counseling, but this is not an emergency.

The woman who feels isolated may benefit from social support and community resources, but this can be addressed at a later time.
