Grandparents: While grandparents can provide valuable information, parents are typically the primary source of information about a child’s medical history, current symptoms, and behavioral changes.

Admitting provider: The admitting provider's role is to assess and diagnose the client. While they provide essential clinical information, they are not the primary source for personal and historical data about the client.

Medical record: Although the medical record contains important information, it may not have the most recent updates or contextual details that parents can provide. It is important to corroborate the information in the medical record with input from the parents.

The goal of palliative care is to prolong the life of a client: The primary goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life by alleviating symptoms and providing support, rather than specifically prolonging life.

Palliative care should be avoided for a client who is receiving a cure: Palliative care is not mutually exclusive with curative treatment. It can be provided alongside curative therapies to manage symptoms and improve the client’s quality of life.

Palliative care is limited to clients who are in a health care facility: Palliative care can be provided in various settings, including at home, in outpatient clinics, and in healthcare facilities. It is not restricted to any particular location.

Episodic acute stress: This term is not a recognized diagnosis. Acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder are the established diagnoses related to trauma and stress.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): IBS is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. It is not related to the flashbacks of traumatic events.

Acute stress disorder (ASD): ASD occurs within the first month after exposure to a traumatic event and involves symptoms like intrusive memories and flashbacks. However, since the traumatic event occurred a year ago, this disorder is less likely than PTSD.

Administer medication for high blood pressure: Administering medication generally requires a physician's order and is not considered an independent nursing action.

Starting IV antibiotics: This action requires a physician's order and is a dependent nursing intervention.

Administering medication for pain: Administering medication requires a physician’s order and is not considered an independent nursing action.

This option is incorrect because the date is wrong, and it uses "TOJ" which is not a standard abbreviation in medical documentation. The correct format should include the date the order was received, the medication and dosage, frequency, reason for administration, and the initials of the person taking the order along with a 'read back' confirmation.

This choice is incorrect because it lacks the 'read back' confirmation which is a critical part of telephone orders to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the use of "TOJ" is incorrect, and the date format is inconsistent with standard medical records.

This option is incorrect because it uses "VO" which stands for verbal order, not a telephone order. It also lacks the full date and has an inconsistent date format. The 'read back' confirmation is present, but the incorrect order type makes this entry invalid.

Acute pain manifested by client's report: While this diagnosis reflects the client's report of pain, it does not address the underlying cause or etiology of the pain, which is important for forming an effective care plan.

Acute pain related to psychosomatic condition: This diagnosis implies a specific psychosomatic origin for the pain. Since the etiology is unknown, attributing it to a psychosomatic condition may not be accurate.

Acute pain related to unknown factors: This diagnosis is similar to C, but "unknown factors" is less precise than "unknown etiology." The term "etiology" more accurately describes the underlying cause.

Inguinal hernia: While an inguinal hernia can cause discomfort and potential complications, it is not typically considered a significant fall risk.

Hyperlipidemia: This condition affects cholesterol levels and is not directly related to an increased risk of falls.

Hyperthyroidism: Although hyperthyroidism can cause symptoms like tremors and muscle weakness, it is less directly associated with fall risk compared to multiple sclerosis.
