Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) The nurse is in charge of the environment of healing and should take responsibility for limiting noise, dimming lights at night, using minimal numbers of nurses to care for one client, and keeping the area clean and comfortable. Explaining all procedures in detail may overwhelm the client. Using short, clear sentences and explaining only enough to satisfy the client is a better plan. A client who is ill cannot be expected to make the majority of decisions about the plan of care, but should be allowed as much autonomy and choice as can be arranged and tolerated.
