Free PN NCLEX Practice Questions Practice Question
An adult is to go to surgery this morning. When the nurse goes to medicate the client, she notes that she has a ring with several shiny stones in it on her left ring finger. There are no relatives present. What is the best nursing action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: C is the most appropriate action as it ensures the ring is safely secured and documented, minimizing the risk of loss or theft during the surgery. This method respects the client's property rights while adhering to hospital protocols for valuables.
A is inadequate because taping the ring does not provide sufficient security and could lead to loss. B, while seemingly practical, places the responsibility for the ring on the client without proper documentation or security. D, having the client sign a waiver, may not be sufficient protection and does not address the need for safe storage of the ring.
