Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Insisting the client take medications does not respect the client’s autonomy and is not an advocacy action.

B. Informing the client that the medication is the same as taken at home does not necessarily address the client’s concerns or questions.

C. Telling the client that refusal is noncompliance does not support client autonomy and does not address their concerns.

D. Encouraging the client to verbalize questions supports their right to be informed and make decisions about their care, demonstrating advocacy.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Telling other nurses is useful for team morale but does not directly recognize the AP.

B. Detailing contributions to the manager is valuable but can be done after initial direct recognition.

C. Nominating for an award is an excellent formal recognition but should follow immediate feedback.

D. Giving direct positive feedback immediately acknowledges the AP’s efforts and encourages continued good performance.
