MULTIPLE CHOICE j1




1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



advises thenew nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



a. Attending to holistic client needs j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Ensuring client safety j1 j1



c. Not making medication errors
j1 j1 j1



d. Providing client-focused care j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: j1



B
j1



Rationale:All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



client safety is thepriority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



years, many of which result inclient injury, death, and increased health care costs.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



There are several national and international organizations that have either
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



importantfor quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



medication errorsdoes provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



accurate answerwer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



informationdoes the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



safety?
j1



a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: j1



A
j1



Rationale:Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 encouraging theclient to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 most critical. The other actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 protection that being active andinvolved does. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 pressure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 would the nursetake first?
j1 j1 j1 j1

, a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Document and continue to monitor. j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Notify the primary health care provider.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: A j1 j1



Rationale:The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 are deterioratingbefore they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 has manifested a significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 pressure, mental status, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 urine output are particularly significant and are part of the Modified Early Warning
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more important than
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



nurse
j1



best demonstrates this concept?
j1 j1 j1



a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Ensures that all the client’s basic needs are met. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: A j1 j1



Rationale:Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 essential to ensure a holistic or “whole-person” approach to care. By assessing the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 effect of the client’s culture onhealth care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 client and family to the room is an importantsafety measure, but not directly related
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 to demonstrating client-centered care.

5. A client is going to be admitted for a scheduled surgical procedure. Which action
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



does thenurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



against errors?
j1 j1



a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Keep the provider’s phone number by the telephone.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Make sure that all providers wash hands before entering the room.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. Write down the name of each caregiver who comes in the room.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: A j1 j1



Rationale:Medication reconciliation is a formal process in which the client’s actual j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 current medicationsare compared to the prescribed medications at the time of
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 admission, traccurate answerfer, or discharge. This National client Safety Goal is
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 important to reduce medication errors. The client would not have to be responsible
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1

, j1 for providers washing their hands, and even if the client does so, this is too narrow to
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 be the most important action to prevent errors. Keeping the provider’s phone number
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 nearby and documenting everyone who enters the room also do not guarantee safety.

6. Which action by the nurse working with a client best demonstrates respect for
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



autonomy?
j1



a. Asks if the client has questions before signing a consent.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Gives the client accurate information when questioned. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Keeps the promises made to the client and family. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. Treats the client fairly compared to other clients. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: A j1 j1



Rationale:Autonomy is self-determination. The client would make decisions regarding j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 care. When the nurse obtains a signature on the consent form, assessing if the client
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 still has questions is vital,because without full information the client cannot practice
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 autonomy. Giving accurate information is practicing with veracity. Keeping promises is
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 upholding fidelity. Treating the client fairly is providing social justice.

7. A nurse asks a more seasoned colleague to explain best practices when communicating
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



with aperson from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, traccurate answergender, and
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



questioning/queer (LGBTQ) community. What accurate answerwer by the faculty is
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



most accurate?
j1 j1



a. Avoid embarrassing the client by asking questions. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



b. Don’t make assumptions about his or her health needs. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



c. Most LGBTQ people do not want to share information. j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



d. No differences exist in communicating with this population.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1




ACCURATE ANSWER: B j1 j1



Rationale:Many members of the LGBTQ community have faced discrimination from j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 health care providers and may be reluctant to seek health care. The nurse would never
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 make assumptions about the needs of members of this population. Rather, respectful
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 questions are appropriate. Ifapproached with sensitivity, the client with any health
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



j1 care need is more likely to accurate answerwer honestly.

j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



pain medication. Which statement comprises the background portion of the SBAR
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1



format for communication?
j1 j1 j1



a. “I would like you to order a different pain medication.”
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
