    A nurse is giving change-of-shift report on a group of clients. Which of the following statements should the nurse make? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "The client in room 203 will undergo surgery at 0900 tomorrow.": Providing information about upcoming procedures is essential for the incoming nurse to plan care, anticipate needs, and prepare the client appropriately. B. "The client in room 204 has a new prescription for IV gentamicin.": Communicating new medication orders is critical for continuity of care and safe administration, allowing the next nurse to verify and monitor the client’s response. C. "The client in room 204 received some pain medicine earlier today.": General statements like “some pain medicine” are vague and not clinically useful. Change-of-shift reports should focus on specific, relevant information such as dose, time, route, and effectiveness. D. "The client in room 205 is scheduled for a dressing change at 1800.": Sharing scheduled interventions helps the incoming nurse organize care and ensures timely completion of procedures. E. "The client in room 205 has had several visitors today.": Visitor information is not usually relevant to clinical care and does not affect immediate nursing priorities, so it is generally omitted from shift-to-shift reporting.
