The nurse wants to improve the way they provide care to their clients. What theory offers ten suggestions to maximize caring moments spent with the client?

Choice A reason: This is the best answer. Apgar score is a quick and simple assessment that evaluates the newborn's appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration. It is done at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth, and sometimes at 10 minutes if needed. It helps to determine the newborn's condition and need for resuscitation or medical intervention.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct answer. Blood pressure reading is a measurement of the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries. It is not routinely done on newborns, unless there is a suspicion of a cardiac or renal problem. It is usually done after the first 24 hours of life, and then as indicated by the newborn's condition.

Choice C reason: This is not the correct answer. Head and chest circumference are measurements of the size and shape of the newborn's head and chest. They are done once within the first 24 hours of life, and then as indicated by the newborn's condition. They help to monitor the newborn's growth and development, and to detect any abnormalities or asymmetries.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct answer. Respiratory and abdominal assessment are examinations of the newborn's breathing and digestion. They are done once within the first 24 hours of life, and then as indicated by the newborn's condition. They help to evaluate the newborn's lung and bowel function, and to identify any signs of distress or complications.

Choice A reason: This is not the statement that the nurse will prioritize. The client may want the instructions written out for convenience or clarity, but it does not indicate their level of self-efficacy.

Choice B reason: This is not the statement that the nurse will prioritize. The client may not have changed the dressing by themselves yet, but it does not mean that they cannot do it. The client may just need more practice or guidance.

Choice C reason: This is not the statement that the nurse will prioritize. The client may want their son to help them for emotional or physical support, but it does not reflect their self-efficacy.

Choice D reason: This is the statement that the nurse will prioritize. The client expresses a negative belief about their ability to perform the dressing change. This indicates that the client has low self-efficacy, which is the confidence in one's ability to accomplish a specific task. The nurse should address this statement by providing positive feedback, encouragement, and reassurance to the client. The nurse should also demonstrate the steps of the dressing change and allow the client to practice under supervision.
