Assessment of a Patient Nursing Practice Question
The nurse has created a plan of care to include interventions focused on reassuming self-care for a client who is in traction. The nurse evaluates the plan of care and determines that which observation indicates a successful outcome?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A successful outcome for reassuming self-care is for the client to do as much of the self-care as possible. The nurse should promote independence in the client and allow the client to perform as much self-care as is optimal considering the client's condition. The nurse would determine that the outcome is unsuccessful if the client refuses care or allows others to perform the care.
