Rationale: An incident is any event that is not
consistent with the routine operation of a health
care unit or routine care of a client. Examples of
incidents include client falls, needlestick injuries,
a visitor having symptoms of illness, medication
administration errors, accidental omission of
prescribed therapies, and circumstances leading
to injury or a risk for injury. An incident report
does not need to be filed if a client has a seizure
unless the client sustains injury as a result of the
seizure. If the nurse determines that a client
would benefit from the use of a walker to
ambulate, he or she should take the appropriate
action to obtain one. If the nurse notes that the
battery of an intravenous infusion pump is not
working, he or she should obtain a functioning
pump and send the nonfunctioning pump to the
appropriate department for repair.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use knowledge of the
subject, reasons for filing an incident report, to
assist you with the process of elimination. Read
each option carefully.
Recalling that an incident is any event that is not

Question 2 pts
A nurse, charting the administration of medications to an
assigned client at 9 p.m., notes that atenolol (Tenormin) was
prescribed to be administered at 9 a.m. instead of 9 p.m. The
nurse checks the client’s vital signs, completes an incident report,
and calls the health care provider to report the error. The health
care provider tells the nurse that an incident report is not needed
but instructs her to monitor the client during the night for
hypotension. What action should the nurse take?
