The nursing student is working on a unit that is conducting nursing research regarding the best way to perform nursing procedures. Which of the following actions by the student would assist the staff in this endeavor?
1. Documenting the client's response to nursing treatment
2. Documenting the client's response to medication therapy
3. Documenting the client's toleration of ambulation following surgery
4. Documenting care given by the respiratory therapist

Rationale 1: In conducting nursing research, the nurses are looking for client improvement in response to nursing treatment. The client's response to medication is the response to the medical regimen, as is ambulating in the hall. Documenting care by the respiratory therapist is not a client response. While all of these should be well documented, only the one involving nursing care would contribute to nursing research.
