The nurse is working with a group of community health members to develop a plan to address the special health needs of women. The group would design educational programs to address which condition is the priority.

Choice A: Ask the client's English-speaking family member to translate. This action is not appropriate because it may compromise the accuracy and confidentiality of the information. The family member may not have sufficient medical knowledge or vocabulary to translate correctly or may omit or alter some details due to personal bias or embarrassment.

Choice B: Use a translation dictionary to reinforce the teaching. This action is not appropriate because it may be time-consuming and ineffective. The translation dictionary may not have all the relevant terms or phrases or may provide inaccurate or ambiguous translations. The nurse may also lose the client's attention or interest by relying on the dictionary.

Choice C: Seek assistance from a facility-approved interpreter. This action is appropriate because it ensures the quality and clarity of the communication. The facility-approved interpreter is a professional who has the skills and training to provide accurate and unbiased translation of the information. The interpreter can also facilitate the interaction and feedback between the nurse and the client.

Choice D: Ask an assistive personnel (AP) who speaks the client's language to serve as an interpreter. This action is not appropriate because it may violate the scope of practice and ethical standards of the AP. The AP may not have the qualifications or authority to provide interpretation services or may have a conflict of interest or role confusion with the client. The AP may also have other duties or responsibilities that may interfere with the interpretation process.

Choice A: Limit the intake of fluid. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Limiting the intake of fluid can cause dehydration, urinary tract infection, or kidney stones. The client should drink enough fluid to keep her urine clear and odorless.

Choice B: Void every hour while awake. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Voiding every hour while awake can cause bladder irritation, infection, or overdistension. The client should void when she feels the urge or at least every 3 to 4 hours.

Choice C: Perform Kegel exercises daily. This action is correct and should be taught to the client. Kegel exercises are exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra. They can help improve bladder control and prevent urinary incontinence. The client should perform Kegel exercises daily by contracting and relaxing the muscles around the vagina and anus as if she is trying to stop urinating or passing gas.

Choice D: Take a laxative every night. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Taking a laxative every night can cause diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or dependence. The client should avoid constipation by eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of fluids, and exercising regularly.
