    A nurse is providing change-of-shift report for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The client reports pain is reduced when he is positioned on his side. This information is relevant to the client's current condition and care plan. Pain management is a critical aspect of nursing care, and informing the oncoming nurse about the client’s preferred position for pain relief ensures continuity of care and appropriate interventions. B. The client's partner visited earlier today for 2 hours. While social interactions are important for the client’s well-being, this information is not essential for a shift report unless it directly affects the client's condition or care needs. C. The client's mother died 4 years ago from breast cancer. While family history can be relevant for long-term medical planning, it is not pertinent to the immediate shift report, which should focus on the client's current status and care needs. D. The client received the prescribed antibiotic every 8 hours. While medication administration is important, the oncoming nurse can verify this information in the medication administration record (MAR). Shift reports typically focus on changes in condition, ongoing concerns, and necessary interventions rather than routine medication schedules.
