A nurse is documenting client care.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following abbreviations should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The abbreviation 'BRP' for bathroom privileges is commonly accepted in medical documentation and clearly indicates that a client is permitted to use the bathroom. 'SC' is not standard (SubQ or SQ is preferred for subcutaneous), 'SS' can be confused with other terms and should be written as 'sliding scale,' and 'OJ' is not a medical abbreviation, as 'orange juice' should be written out to avoid confusion. 'QID' means four times daily, not every four hours, and is less relevant here.
