1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse best
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




demonstrates this concept?
st st st




a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care
st st st st st st st




b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met
st st st st st st st st st




c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
st st st st st st st st st




d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room
st st st st st st st st st




CORRECT ANSWER: A st st




Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication,
st st st st st st st st st st st




culture, respect compassion, client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the
st st st st st st st st st st st st st




clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




providing empowering education. Orienting the client and family to the room is an important
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.

1. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood pressure was
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by the nurse is best?
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
st st st st st




b. Document and continue to monitor.
st st st st st




c. Notify the primary care provider.
st st st st st




d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
st st st st st st st




CORRECT ANSWER: A st st




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




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




change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st

, pain are particularly significant.
st st st st




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




should be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients blood pressure
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




should be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

1. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information does the
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




nurse provide to help the client promote his or her own safety?
st st st st st st st st st st st st




a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
st st st st st st st st st




b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
st st st st st st st st




c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
st st st st st st st st st st




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




CORRECT ANSWER: A st st




Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




client to be active in his or her health care as a partner is the most critical. The other actions are
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st st




very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involved does.
