MULTIPLE CHOICE t @




1. A nurse wishes to provide client-
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse best demonstrates this concept?
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the roomt@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@




ANS: A t@


Rationale:Competency in client- t@ t@


focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respect compassion, cli
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


ent education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this nurse
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the client
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


t @and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating client-
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


centered care. t@




2. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood pressure was 142
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by the nurse is best?
t@ t@ t@ t@ t @ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
t@ t@ t@ t@


b. Document and continue to monitor. t@ t@ t@ t@


c. Notify the primary care provider.
t@ t@ t@ t@


d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@




ANS: A t@


Rationale:The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t


@before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant cha
t@ t @ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


nge, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are p
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


articularly significant. t@


Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care provider shou
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


ld be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients blood pressure should b
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


e reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.
t@ t@ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @




3. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information does the nurse p
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


rovide to help the client promote his or her own safety?
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t @ t@ t@ t@ t@


a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@

, b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@




ANS: A t@


Rationale:Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encoura
t @ t @ t @ t@ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @


ging the client to be active in his or her health care as a partner is the most critical. The other action
t @ t @ t @ t @ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@


s are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involve
t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ t@ X& t@ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t @ t@


d does.
