A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for a group of clients. The nurse should prioritize which of the following clients for an interdisciplinary care conference?

Rationale: A. This option is incorrect because a client with anorexia and a BMI of 23 is at risk for nutritional concerns, but their condition is not immediately urgent. While important, it does not require the highest priority for an interdisciplinary care conference. B. This option is incorrect because a client with COPD and an oxygen saturation of 92% is stable. Although ongoing monitoring and management are needed, this does not necessitate immediate interdisciplinary discussion compared with more complex or higher-risk situations. C. This option is correct because a client who is 1 week postoperative following a hip fracture is at increased risk for complications such as infection, delayed healing, deep vein thrombosis, and impaired mobility. An interdisciplinary care conference involving nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, and physicians can help coordinate care, address rehabilitation needs, and prevent complications, making this client the highest priority for collaborative planning. D. This option is incorrect because decreased mobility and constipation are common concerns in long-term care and can be managed with routine interventions. While important, they do not require the immediate coordination and problem-solving that a postoperative hip fracture client does.
