| | | | | | | | | |
If a patient or family member complains about a co-worker, listen to the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
story and speak with the co-worker as well. If a staff member labels a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
patient uncooperative, assume the care of that patient with openness
| | | | | | | | | |
and a desire to meet the patient's needs
| | | | | | |
Responsibility and authority - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ask for help if you | | | | | | | | | |
are uncertain about how to perform a nursing skill. Refer to a policy and

immediately. Follow standards of practice in your care. | | | | | | |
Risk taking - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-If your knowledge causes you to
| | | | | | | | | |

alternative approaches to nursing care when colleagues are having little
| | | | | | | | | |
success with patients. | |
Discipline - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Be thorough in whatever you do. Use
| | | | | | | | |
|known scientific and practice-based criteria for activities such as
| | | | | | | | |
assessment and evaluation. Take time to be thorough and manage your
| | | | | | | | | | |
time effectively. |
Perseverance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Be cautious of an easy answer. If | | | | | | | | | |
co-workers give you information about a patient and some fact seems to
| | | | | | | | | | |
be missing, clarify the information or talk to the patient directly. If
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
,problems of the same type continue to occur on a nursing division, bring
| | | | | | | | | | | |
co-workers together, look for a pattern, and find a solution.
| | | | | | | | | |
Creativity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Look for different approaches if
| | | | | | | |
interventions are not working for a patient. For example, a patient in
| | | | | | | | | | | |
pain may need a different positioning or distraction technique. When
| | | | | | | | | |
appropriate, involve the patient's family in adapting your approaches to
| | | | | | | | | |
care methods used at home
| | | |
Curiosity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Always ask why. A clinical sign or
| | | | | | | | | |
symptom often indicates a variety of problems. Explore and learn more
| | | | | | | | | | |
about a patient so as to make appropriate clinical judgments.
| | | | | | | | |
Integrity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Recognize when your opinions conflict
| | | | | | |
|with those of a patient; review your position and decide how best to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
proceed to reach outcomes that will satisfy everyone. Do not
| | | | | | | | | |
compromise nursing standards or honesty in delivering nursing care.
| | | | | | | |
Humility - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Recognize when you need more
| | | | | | | |
information to make a decision. When you are new to a clinical division,
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ask for an orientation to the area. Ask registered nurses (RNs) regularly
| | | | | | | | | | | |
assigned to the area for assistance with approaches to care.
| | | | | | | | |
Skills for clinical judgement - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Interpretation,
| | | | | | |
analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, self- regulation
| | | | |
, Interpretation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Be orderly in collecting data | | | | | | | |
about patients. Apply reasoning while looking for patterns. Categorize
| | | | | | | | |
the data (e.g., nursing diagnoses). Gather additional data or clarify any
| | | | | | | | | | |
data if uncertain. | |
Analysis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Be open-minded as you look at
| | | | | | | | |
information about a patient. Do not make careless assumptions. Does
| | | | | | | | | |
the data reveal a problem or trend that you believe is true, or are there
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
other options? |
Inference - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Look at the meaning and significance
| | | | | | | |
|of findings. Are there relationships among findings? Does the data
| | | | | | | | | |
about the patient help you see that a problem exists?
| | | | | | | | |
Evaluation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Look at all situations objectively.
| | | | | | | |
Use criteria (e.g., expected outcomes, pain characteristics, learning
| | | | | | | |
objectives) to determine results of nursing actions. Reflect on your own
| | | | | | | | | | |
behavior.
Explanation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Support your findings and| | | | | | |
conclusions. Use knowledge and experience to choose strategies to use
| | | | | | | | | |
in the care of patients.
