An adult client enrolled in a clinical medication trial tells the practical nurse (PN), "I want to drop out of this study because the nausea is unbearable, but I am terrified the healthcare team will discharge me from the facility if I quit." In what order should the PN perform the following actions? Arrange the actions in the correct chronological sequence.
- 1Reassure the client that withdrawing from the trial will not compromise their standard medical care.
- 2Collect focused clinical data regarding the onset, duration, and severity of the client's nausea.
- 3Notify the primary healthcare provider and the clinical research coordinator of the client's decision and symptoms.
- 4Document the client's withdrawal request, the data collected, and the provider notification in the electronic health record.
Cevap
The correct sequence is to first reassure the client of their rights, then collect data about the nausea, notify the healthcare provider, and finally document the event.
The correct sequence follows the standard nursing process and prioritization frameworks. The PN must first address the client's immediate psychological distress and advocate for their rights. Next, the PN collects necessary clinical data about the adverse effects. Only after gathering this data should the PN notify the provider, followed by documenting all actions as the final step.
