A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus about safe

,home disposal of insulin syringes and needles. Which of the following statements by the
client indicates an understanding of the teaching?


A) "I'll recap the needles and discard them in their original wrappers in a metal trash
can."
B) "I'll collect the needles in a rigid plastic laundry detergent container and take them to
a hazardous waste facility."
C) "I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for disposal."
D) "I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half before I
put it in the trash." - CORRECT ANSWER "I'll collect the needles in a rigid plastic
laundry detergent container and take them to a hazardous waste facility."


Rationale:
The client should use an impervious container made of heavy plastic, such as a laundry
detergent container, to prevent self-injury. The client can take the container to a
community drop-off program or a hazardous waste facility for disposal.


-------------------


"I'll recap the needles and discard them in their original wrappers in a metal trash can."


The client risks injury to themself and others by recapping the needles and discarding
them in a trash can.


--------------------------
"I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for disposal."

,Used needles can puncture a plastic bag and cause injury to the client and others. A
hospital does not provide disposal services for clients.
----------------------------


"I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half before I
put it in the trash."


A folded pie plate could allow needles and syringes to slip out and cause injury to the
client and others. Furthermore, discarded needles cannot be placed in the trash. They
must be taken to a hazardous waste facility and incinerated.


A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a client and recognizes that one of the
established goals is unrealistic. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

B) Recommend a revision to the plan of care.
C) Discontinue nursing interventions related to the goal.
D) Create a new plan of care. - CORRECT ANSWER B) Recommend a revision to the
plan of care.


Rationale:

The nurse should provide objective documentation of the client's current state of health
and abilities to comply with the plan.
-------------

should assist the RN to revise the interventions to meet the goal of the plan of care.


----------------------------


Create a new plan of care.
It is beyond the scope of practice for the PN to create a new plan of care. The nurse
should assist the RN in revising the client's plan of care.
