A 52-year-old woman recovering from a stroke on the rehabilitation unit is able to wash her face, brush her teeth, and comb her hair independently but needs help buttoning her blouse due to weakness in her right hand. Her vital signs are stable: temperature 98.2°F, pulse 78 bpm, respirations 16/min, blood pressure 122/76 mmHg, and she has no swallowing or fall precautions noted this shift. Her daughter mentions that their family follows a religious practice requiring a specific prayer be said before any meal is served. The LPN is assisting the client with morning self-care and preparing her breakfast tray. What should the LPN do?
- Wash the client's face and brush her teeth for her to save time before breakfast.
- Change the client's diet order to a soft diet without consulting the RN or provider.
- Serve the breakfast tray promptly without waiting for the family's requested prayer to be said.
- Allow the client to wash her face and brush her teeth herself, assisting only with buttoning her blouse.
