Which nursing intervention should be performed before applying client restraints?

This is because a client who has been diaphoretic for the past six hours is likely to have wet and uncomfortable bed linens that can cause skin breakdown and infection. Changing the bed linens frequently can help keep the client dry and comfortable.

Choice A is wrong because offering the client a bedpan every three hours is not related to diaphoresis.

The client may or may not need to use the bedpan depending on their fluid intake and output.

Choice B is wrong because keeping an emesis basin near the bedside is not related to diaphoresis.

The client may or may not need to vomit depending on their underlying condition.

Choice C is wrong because providing oral care every four hours is not enough for a client who has been diaphoretic for the past six hours. The client may have dry mouth and dehydration due to excessive sweating and may need more frequent oral care and hydration.

Remove gloves, wash hands, remove face shield, gown, mask, and wash hands again. This is because gloves are the most contaminated piece of PPE and should be removed first to avoid touching other parts of the body or environment with them. Washing hands after removing gloves is also important to reduce the risk of infection. Face shields, gowns, and masks should be removed in that order, as they are less contaminated than gloves and can be handled with clean hands. Washing hands again after removing all PPE is the final step to ensure hygiene.

Choice A is wrong because it does not include washing hands after removing gloves, which is a crucial step to prevent contamination. It also removes the gown before the gloves, which can cause the gown to touch the face or hair and contaminate them.

Choice B is wrong because it does not include washing hands between removing gloves and gown, which can transfer germs from the gloves to the gown and then to the face or hair when removing the face shield and mask.

Choice D is wrong because it does not include washing hands between removing gloves and gown, which can transfer germs from the gloves to the gown and then to the face or hair when removing the face shield and mask. It also removes the gown before the face shield, which can cause the gown to touch the face or hair and contaminate it.

Normal ranges for PPE removal are not applicable as different types of PPE may require different methods of removal. However, some general principles are to remove PPE in a way that minimizes contact with contaminated surfaces, perform hand hygiene frequently, and dispose of PPE properly.
