A charge nurse is conducting an in-service on advocacy for a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following examples should the charge nurse include in the teaching as a demonstration of client advocacy? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A. This option is incorrect because refusing to administer dialysis based solely on a client’s terminal diagnosis is not advocacy; it could constitute abandonment or negligence unless it aligns with the client’s advance directives or expressed wishes. Advocacy requires supporting the client’s rights and choices, not withholding necessary care without justification. B. This option is correct because reporting a procedure that was completed incorrectly by another nurse demonstrates advocacy for client safety. The nurse is taking action to protect the client from potential harm and ensuring that proper standards of care are upheld. C. This option is correct because refusing to use a multi-dose vial of medication for the same client helps prevent cross-contamination and infection. The nurse is advocating for the client’s safety and well-being by following safe medication administration practices. D. This option is correct because arranging for an interpreter ensures that the client can understand their care, make informed decisions, and provide consent. Supporting the client’s right to effective communication is a key aspect of advocacy. E. This option is incorrect because administering medication in a way the client refuses (e.g., hiding it in applesauce) violates the client’s autonomy and informed consent. Advocacy involves respecting client preferences and rights, not overriding them.
