Question 1 of 5
A nurse must recommend clients for discharge in order to make room for several critically injured clients from a local disaster. Which of the following clients should the nurse recommend for discharge?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A client who has cellulitis and is receiving oral antibiotics every 8 hr. The rationale is that cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that can typically be managed on an outpatient basis with oral antibiotics. This client is stable and can continue treatment at home, freeing up a hospital bed for more critical patients.
Choice B is incorrect because a client without a gag reflex post-endoscopy requires close monitoring for potential airway compromise, making discharge unsafe.
Choice C should not be recommended for discharge as the mother and newborn require continuous monitoring and support in the immediate postpartum period.
Choice D, a client with lower extremity weakness newly admitted for observation, may have underlying serious conditions that need further evaluation, so discharge would be premature.
