Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best time for the nurse to conduct the client's interview is after the client has settled in and been oriented. The client is admitted for acute dehydration, which means the client is severely dehydrated and needs to be rehydrated before any further procedures can be initiated. Conducting the interview at this time will increase the client's discomfort and may interfere with the rehydration process. It is best to wait until the client is settled and oriented, which will also give the client time to rest and provide a clearer picture of the client's condition.
