Question 1 of 5
The nurse supervisor is working in a hospital that is in the path of a hurricane. Which of the following clients would be appropriate for immediate discharge?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A client with lymphoma receiving inpatient chemotherapy is likely to require close monitoring and ongoing treatment due to the potential complications associated with their condition and treatment. Discharging this client could put them at significant risk. A client with heart failure with crackles bilaterally on 4 liters of oxygen needs continuous medical supervision and care to manage their heart condition and oxygen levels. Discharging this client could exacerbate their heart failure and lead to serious health complications. A client who is post-appendectomy with a paralytic ileus is at risk of complications such as bowel obstruction and infection. They need to be closely monitored in the hospital until their condition stabilizes and they begin to recover from surgery. A client with a nondisplaced tibia fracture that has been immobilized is generally stable and can be safely discharged with appropriate instructions for home care. This client does not require intensive monitoring and can continue their recovery at home.
