A nurse working in a long-term care facility notes that during the evening meal, the unlicensed assistive person (UAP) takes a tray to a client with Parkinson's who is unable to cut up and eat the food
The nurse helps the client with dinner and plans which of the following to advocate for the client? 1. Notify the physician
2. Call the client's family
3. Discuss the situation with the director of nursing
4. Talk to the UAP
3. Discuss the situation with the director of nursing
Rationale:
The nurse would advocate getting the client's plan changed because the goal is to have someone available to help the client eat for every meal. Notifying the doctor will not help the client. The family might be able to help at times but cannot be expected to come for every meal. The nurse assesses that this happens at every meal and seeks to change how this client is cared for, not just changing one health care worker.
