A client has been placed on neutropenic precautions. Which information is appropriate when explaining what this means? Select all that apply. - Answer>>> Get plenty of sleep and rest. Take all medications as prescribed. Eat plenty of fresh fruits, salads, and vegetables. Wash your hands frequently with antibacterial soap. Rationale: Neutropenic precautions require that the individual protect self from infection. Getting adequate sleep and rest helps prevent infection. All medications must be taken as prescribed; if there is a problem, the health care provider is contacted. Washing hands frequently with antibacterial soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizer is a major part of avoiding infection. Fresh fruits, salads, and vegetables contain bacteria and, unless cooked, could cause infection. Plants and flowers contain bacteria and cannot be sanitized; therefore, they exposure should be avoided.

The nurse in the psychiatric unit is reviewing the records of the clients admitted to the nursing unit. A client with a history of violent behavior approaches the nurse and demands immediate discharge from the hospital. The nurse notes that the client was voluntarily admitted to the psychiatric unit. Which is the appropriate nursing action? - Answer>>> Tell the client that the health care provider will be contacted regarding discharge. Rationale: False imprisonment is an act with the intent to confine a person to a specific area. The nurse can be charged with false imprisonment if the nurse prohibits a client from leaving the hospital, if the client was voluntarily admitted, and if there are no agency or legal policies for detaining the client. The nurse should not allow the client to leave without first contacting the health care provider. An attempt to persuade the client to stay or contacting security may arouse violent feelings in the client. It is not appropriate to restrain the client.
