Legal implications for the use of restraints include the principle of:

1. Convenience.
2. Autonomy.
3. Least restriction.
4. Monitoring.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for the postpartum woman, and suggests showering. The client says she does not want to shower today, because she doesn't want to be chilled. The nurse's best response is:

1. You must maintain good hygiene in order to prevent infection.
2. It will do you good to get up and move around, and you'll look better when visitors come to see you.
3. Would you prefer if I help you with a sponge bath?
4. You don't have to shower today. Use your squirt bottle to clean your perineum and you can take a shower when you're ready.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Clients should not be restrained for staff convenience.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Women from many cultures might request to postpone showering in the belief that they might chill. The nurse accepts the cultural needs of the client and promotes infection prevention by encouraging perineal care that will keep the area at greatest risk clean.
