While planning care for a client, the nurse identifies content that would address the client's diagnosis of Deficient Knowledge. The nurse will ensure time is allocated for client instruction because:
 
  1. the client cannot be discharged without it.
  2. it is a legal component of the nursing process.
  3. it is a nice thing to do for a client.
  4. the physician has written an order for instruction.

Question 2

The nurse is using guided imagery to help reduce a client's pain level. When using this alternative medicine approach, which of the following client senses can be used? (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. Visual
  2. Auditory
  3. Kinesthetic
  4. Cognitive
  5. Gustatory
  6. Olfactory

Answer to Question 1

2
Patient education is a legal component of the nursing process that was identified in the Patient's Bill of Rights. Patient education is a necessary function of nursing care. The client could be discharged without receiving instructions. Education is not done because it is a nice thing to do for a client. Client education does not necessitate a physician's order.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5, 6
When using guided imagery, all five senses can be used to include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, gustatory, and olfactory. Cognitive is not one of the five senses.
