A client comes into the emergency department with a non-life-threatening wound to the hand that will require stitches. The department is quite busy with other clients, their families, and other people in the waiting room
The best way for the nurse to conduct an interview with this client is to: 1. Have the client wait until the department quiets down, since the wound is not too serious. 2. Tell the client to wait in the waiting room and fill out the paperwork. 3. Draw curtains around the client and nurse to provide as much privacy as possible. 4. Make sure the client's back is to the rest of the room so as not to be heard by passersby.
