  The nurse concludes that the client has understood teaching if the client states which of the following? 1. I will soak in the tub in hot water for 30 minutes every day.
  2. I will call the doctor if I notice a blister anywhere on my body.
  3. I will call the doctor if I notice a blister on a pressure point.
  4. I will call the doctor if I feel pain or see redness over a pressure point.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Flexibility is an important skill when organizing the clinical day.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The nurse would want the client to understand that the time to call the doctor is before a pressure ulcer forms. Noticing tissue pain or redness would be an early sign of a potential ulcer. Hot-water baths will contribute to skin breakdown. A blister on an area of the body is not necessarily a reason to notify the doctor. A blister on a bony prominence is already a stage 2 decubitus, and the client needs to notify the doctor at stage 1 or before.
