RN CARE HOPE MENTAL HEALTH HESI ( 49 Questions)
The nurse is initiating an interview with a client in the emergency department who presents with a fractured ulna and swollen, red lips and nose. The client's spouse is pacing outside the door of the examination room. Which action should the nurse take?
While obtaining the client's history is important, ensuring privacy is a priority to maintain confidentiality and facilitate open communication.
Inviting a colleague to document is not the immediate priority; privacy is crucial in the initial stages of the interview.
Closing the examination room door for privacy is the most appropriate action to create a confidential and secure environment for the client to discuss their injuries and provide a history.
Requesting hospital security is not necessary at this point, as the spouse pacing outside does not necessarily indicate a security threat.
