A nurse is setting up supplies to complete a dressing change at 2000 hours on a client’s stump following a below-the-knee amputation of the right leg. The client looks away and angrily says, “I don’t want to look at that thing. Can’t you come back later?” Which is the best action by the nurse? 1. Putting the supplies away and reattempt the dressing change in 1 hour. 2. Completing the dressing change because it is ordered for 2000. 3. Asking the client, “Why don’t you want your dressing changed?” 4. Restating to the client, “You don’t want to look at your leg?” and allow time for a response.
