Which action by the nurse is appropriate when caring for an elderly client admitted to a healthcare facility?

The nurse's first responsibility is to protect the client from injuring himself. Listening and being nonjudgmental are important elements of the nurse's communication with the client. After the client's safety has been established nurses must respond to the patient’s need for:

Safety

Privacy

Confidentiality

Comfort

Pain Management

Choices and control

Involvement of family and/or significant others the nurse may use different approaches, assessment tools, or equipment to address the needs.

These needs are also patients’ rights and must be respected.
