Friends of a client hospitalized with asthma would like to bring the client a gift. Which of the following should the nurse suggest be provided to the client?
1. A basket of flowers
2. Fruit and candy
3. A stuffed animal
4. A book
4. A book
Rationale:
Limiting problems associated with respiratory health by controlling exposure to allergens, pollutants, and irritants in the client's environment is important. Flowers, food, and items that may contain dust and mold, such as stuffed animals, should be avoided. Objects void of any irritant, such as a book, would be the best selection for a gift. Other ideas include movies, music tapes, coloring books (depending on the age of client), or craft items that are age appropriate.
