Rationale
Pin sites provide a direct avenue for organisms into the bone. Pin care
will not ease pain. Some scarring will occur at the pin insertion site
regardless of pin site care. Skin has a tendency to grow around the pin,
rather than break down, as long as infection is prevented.
A client who is in the advanced stages of illness asks
the nurse to contact pastoral services for support.
According to the Macmillan model, which is the correct
nursing intervention in this situation?
Involve the family member in the client’s care instead of pastoral
support.
Listen to the client’s request for support and then carry on with
the clinical work.
Falsely promise that pastoral services has been contacted and plan to
see the client.
Rationale
The Macmillan nurse usually has the knowledge of advanced practice and
possesses specialty training. This practice enhances the nurse to gain an
in-depth knowledge about spiritual, social, and psychological needs and
the pathophysiology of clients living with advanced diseases. The nurse
involves pastoral services while caring for the client. Involving a family
member may decrease anxiety in the client but may not fulfill the
wishes of the client. Just listening to the client’s request without
implementation or giving false promises can cause loss of trust by the
client.
The nurse applies a cold pack to relieve musculoskeletal
pain. Which rationale explains the analgesic properties of
cold therapy?
Promoting analgesia and circulation
, Numbing the nerves and dilating the blood vessels
