The Nursing Student Is Completing Her Clinical Rotation in the Intensive

The nursing student is completing her clinical rotation in the intensive care unit. While caring for a patient, she says to the primary nurse, "This family is bringing in all kinds of beads and medals and putting them on the patient and bed. This is intensive care! What should I do?" What is the most appropriate response by the primary nurse?

A) "Remove the medals from the patient so they don't get in the way of your work."
B) "Take the beads off the bed so they don't distract or interfere with care."
C) "Explain to the family that these objects cannot be brought into intensive care as our work is too intricate and these things can get in the way."
D) "This is not uncommon in intensive care. Try to work around this as best you can, as these objects are important to the family and patient."
