1. A nurse wishes to provide client-

d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i

Rationale
Competency in client- +i +i




focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respe

ct compassion, client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the client

s culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-

+i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i




telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education.
+i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i




Orienting the client and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not dire

The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients

are deteriorating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client
+i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i +i




has manifested a significant change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood p

ressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
