Question

When reviewing a client's chart, the nurse sees the progress note. Which statement about the client's condition is most accurate?

a) "Client appears to be responding positively to medications."
b) "Client's condition remains stable; no changes noted."
c) "Client may not be motivated to change their behavior or their lifestyle."
d) "Client shows signs of improvement; reduced inflammation observed."

Answer 1

The most accurate statement about a client's condition from a client's chart is that the client shows signs of improvement, as it indicates a measurable and verifiable change(option d).

Step-by-step explanation:

When reviewing a client's chart, the most accurate statement about the client's condition, based on the given options, seems to be option d) "Client shows signs of improvement; reduced inflammation observed."

This statement is specific and indicates a measurable change in the client's condition, which can usually be verified through clinical observations or tests. In contrast, the other statements are less specific, do not mention measurable changes, or suggest an opinion (regarding motivation) rather than a clinical observation.
