The og answer is correct, I’m just going to explain it a bit more. Since the code has been called, there are possible casualties and possible patients that will come into your care, but are not yet in your care. Your primary responsibility is to take care of the patient who is there with you. Elective surgery will be canceled and rescheduled. You should bring the patient back to their room and get them discharged as soon as possible. You will then meet with your attendings team and they will instruct you on protocol and your function until the code is called off or resolved

Rufina [12.5K]

Assess the client with difficulty breathing.

In order to optimize the nursing care that clients get, RNs must master the nursing skill of delegation.

According to delegation:

  • The patient's requirements and the stability of their health.
  • The risk of patient injury was evaluated by the RN.
  • the difficulty of the work.
  • the consequences' predictability.
  • The task's delegatee's unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) staff members' skills.
  • Since the RN is liable for ensuring safe and appropriate delegation, other patients' needs must be taken into consideration in order to maximize the benefits of nursing care.
  • The RN has the last say on when to use delegation.

Which nursing action would be included in the plan of care to promote the nutritional status of a client during the acute phase
Zielflug [23.3K]

The action that the nurse should include in the care plan would be to administer the prescribed intravenous fluid with the added vitamin C.

<h3>Why is it advisable to include vitamin C in this diet?</h3>

The reason why it is advisable to include vitamin C in this diet is because this vitamin has essential components that contribute to wound healing.

On the other hand, you should supplement this intake of vitamin C with protein to rebuild tissues and avoid salts because they can cause fluid retention in the patient.

Note: This question is incomplete because the options are missing. Here are the options:

  • Provide a diet high in sodium.
  • Limit caloric intake to decrease the work of the body.
  • Reduce protein intake to avoid overtaxing the kidneys.
  • Administer the prescribed intravenous fluid with the added vitamin C.
