During a change-of-shift report, a night shift nurse informs the day shift nurse that a newly admitted client was disoriented and combative during the night. Which of the following actions should the day shift nurse take?

The correct answer is D: Move the client to a room near the nurses' station. This action ensures close monitoring of the client by staff, enhancing safety for both the client and healthcare providers. Proximity to the nurses' station allows for quick intervention if the client becomes combative or disoriented again. Keeping the client's television on or inserting a urinary catheter are not appropriate interventions for managing a disoriented and combative client. Consulting the provider for a mild sedative should be considered only after other supportive measures have been implemented.
