A connection on a client's intravenous solution was dislodged and solution saturated the client's gown and bed linens. The nurse will provide which type of hygienic care to the client?

Question

1. Hour-of-sleep care
2. As-needed care
3. Early morning care
4. Morning care

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Hour-of-sleep care includes providing for elimination needs, washing the face and hands, oral care, and a back massage.
Rationale 2: As-needed care is provided as required by the client. Because the intravenous solution has saturated the gown and bed linens, this is the type of care the client needs at this time.
Rationale 3: Early morning care is provided to clients as they awaken in the morning and consists of aiding to void, washing the face and hands, and providing oral care.
Rationale 4: Morning care is usually after breakfast and includes providing for elimination needs, a bath or shower, perineal care, back massage, and oral, nail, and hair care.
