Which nursing activity is an example of using primary prevention in client care?

A. Bathing can indeed foster a nurse-client relationship. It provides an opportunity for interaction and communication between the nurse and the client, promoting trust and rapport.

B Bathing can contribute to the client's overall sense of well-being. It promotes comfort, relaxation, and a feeling of cleanliness, which are important aspects of holistic care.

C. Bathing allows the nurse to visually assess the client's skin integrity. During the process, the nurse can identify any changes in skin color, presence of lesions, wounds, or other abnormalities that may require further assessment or intervention.

D. Bathing, particularly when accompanied by gentle massage or movement of limbs, can stimulate circulation. This helps improve blood flow to tissues, aiding in wound healing and reducing the risk of complications such as pressure ulcers.

E. Depending on the type of bath products used (e.g., moisturizing soap or bath oils), bathing can help moisturize the skin. This is especially beneficial for clients with dry skin or conditions that predispose them to skin dryness.

B. This response acknowledges the urgency of the situation and seeks clarification on the appropriate administration technique. It demonstrates readiness to follow through with the medical resident's directive while ensuring safe and effective administration.

A. This response reflects hesitation and a concern about administering a medication that the nurse did not prepare or is unfamiliar with. In a critical situation like a "code blue," timely administration of medications as directed by the medical team is crucial for patient outcomes.

C. Checking IV patency is important to ensure the medication can be administered properly. However, in a "code blue" situation where time is critical, this step might unnecessarily delay administration of the medication.

D. This response indicates willingness to follow the directive given by the medical resident. It also emphasizes the importance of documenting and obtaining proper orders after the immediate crisis has been addressed.
