Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse on a medical-surgical unit is assisting with the emergency response plan following an external disaster in the community. In anticipation of multiple client admissions, which of the following current clients should the nurse recommend for early discharge?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A client who is 1 day postoperative following a vertebroplasty should be recommended for early discharge. This client is stable post-surgery, likely does not require intensive monitoring, and can continue recovery at home with appropriate instructions. This decision helps free up a bed for potential incoming clients from the disaster.
A: Discharging a client receiving heparin for deep-vein thrombosis is risky as they require ongoing anticoagulation management.
C: Discharging a client with a sealed implant for radiation therapy is not recommended as they may require close monitoring and care.
D: Discharging a client with COPD and a high respiratory rate can be dangerous, as they may need immediate medical attention.
