Problem: A nurse on the day shift is caring for a patient who was admitted to the hospital this morning with multiple injuries related to MVA, including head and abdominal trauma. The patient is resting after administration of pain medication. A family member asks if she can help the patient drink a cup of tea when she awakens. In this situation, it is most appropriate for the nurse to explain that a.) only qualified clinicians can assist with oral fluid intake at this time b.) the patient should be encouraged to prepare and drink the tea with minimal assistance c.) this is fine, provided that the head of the bed is elevated at least 30 degrees and a straw is used d.) oral fluids are not appropriate at this time; the patient will receive fluids intravenously
