Answer 1

In a nursing hands-off (end-of-shift) report for a client, the nurse needs to include information such as as-needed medications given, normal vital signs that have remained the same since admission, and the total number of scheduled medications administered on that shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse needs to include several pieces of information in a nursing hands-off (end-of-shift) report for a client:

• As-needed medications given that shift: It is important to document any medications that were administered to the client during the shift.
• Normal vital signs that have been the same since admission: Any changes in vital signs should be noted, but it is also important to document stable vital signs that haven't changed since admission.
• Total number of scheduled medications that the client received on that shift: This includes documenting the number of scheduled medications that were given to the client on the shift.
