A licensed practical nurse is caring for a 22-year-old male client in a skilled nursing facility who is recovering from a spinal cord injury and receiving a scheduled pain-management regimen. The client's partner is pregnant, and the client asks the LPN for guidance to share with his partner about prenatal health screening. Before the LPN discusses any health-promotion information, the LPN measures the client's vital signs (temperature 37.0°C, pulse 78/min, respirations 16/min, blood pressure 118/72 mmHg), records his weight, and inspects his sacral skin, which is intact without redness or breakdown. What should the LPN do next?
- Document the vital signs, weight, and skin assessment findings as the client's baseline data.
- Tell the client his partner should ask an online prenatal support forum about screening needs.
- Recommend the same standard prenatal screening schedule regardless of the partner's individual risk factors.
- Advise the partner that strict bedrest for the entire pregnancy will prevent complications.
