A nurse is preparing to give change-of-shift report on a client who is 2 days postoperative following a total knee arthroscopy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?

Choice A Reason: Time of last pain medication is correct. This is important for the oncoming nurse to know to ensure timely pain management for the client. Choice B Reason: Preferred bath time is incorrect. While it's important to respect the client's preferences, the timing of their bath is typically not as critical to include in the change-of-shift report, especially when compared to more vital information like medication timing. Choice C Reason: Admission vital signs is incorrect. Vital signs taken upon admission are usually documented in the client's chart and are not typically included in change-of-shift reports unless there has been a significant change or concern with the client's vital signs during the shift. Choice D Reason: Steps required for dressing change is incorrect. While important for the client's care, the specific steps for a dressing change are typically documented in the client's care plan or orders and may not need to be repeated in every shift report unless there's a specific issue or change in the dressing change procedure.
