A nurse has designated ambulating a client with a Jackson-Pratt drain to an unlicensed staff member. What action does the nurse take prior to the walk?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse must take care that the drain is attached to the client's gown so as to avoid pulling on it. The unlicensed staff member can take vital signs and empty and measure drainage. The nurse would not need to check the dressing on every client with a drain before he or she walks.
