The nursing student from a practical nursing program is caring for a group of stable clients on a team with a registered nurse (RN) and a nursing assistant (NA). Which action is appropriate for the nursing student to take?
A) Assess the newly admitted client, document the findings, and identify the nursing diagnoses and write the nursing care plan, and enter it into the electronic chart.
B) Use electronic social media to discuss the famous celebrity he was assigned today and post a picture of the celebrity and himself.
C) Supervise and evaluate the complete bed bath and complete bed change assigned to the NA for one of the student's clients.
D) Inform the client who requested a Kosher diet that she has to either eat the bacon or just eat the eggs because dietary is too slow to get her the foods she wants in time.
Ans: C
Feedback:
The nursing student should supervise and evaluate tasks assigned to the NA to ensure that the client is properly cared for. The nursing student may assess a client and contribute to the nursing care plan, but needs to collaborate with the RN during this process. It is a violation of a client's right to privacy for the nursing student to post anything about the client on social media. The nursing student must respect a client's religious and cultural practices, both of which are violated by informing the client that a Kosher diet cannot be accommodated.
