The LPN cares for a client just admitted with a diagnosis of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The client usually performs 100 sit-ups, along with 30 minutes of aerobic exercise after eating. Because the LPN/LVN needs to administer medications and treat an open wound immediately after the client's meal, which of the following nursing actions is MOST appropriate?

1. Remind the client about the routine unit policies.
2. Explain that performing the activities on time is more important than an exercise routine.
3. Interrupt the client's routine activities, administer the medication, and treat the open wound.
4. Reschedule the medication administration and wound treatment.

The Nurse action that is most appropriate is to”2. Explain that performing the activities on time is more important than an exercise routine.”

Explanation:

The Nurse needs to explain to the client clearly that the medication is much important than the routine exercise but she has to do that with caution,so as the client would not feel like the exercise is unimportant.
