A nurse is assigned to five patients, including one who was recently
admitted and one returning from a diagnostic procedure. It is
currently mealtime. The other three patients are stable, but one has
just requested a pain medication. The nurse is working with an
assistive personnel. Which of the following are appropriate delegation
actions on the part of the nurse? (Select all that apply.)
1. The nurse directs the assistive personnel to obtain a set of vital signs
on the patient returning from the diagnostic procedure.
2. The nurse directs the patient care technician to go to the patient in
pain and to reposition and offer comfort measures until the nurse can
bring an ordered analgesic to the patient.
3. The nurse directs the patient care technician to set up meal trays for
patients.
4. The nurse directs the patient care technician to gather a history
from the newly admitted patient about his medications.
5. Th - Answer Answer: 2, 3, 5.
The nurse can delegate repetitive, noninvasive tasks such as vital signs
on a stable patient, assisting a mobile patient with ambulation, and
,setting up meal trays. It is inappropriate for the nurse to delegate
aspects of the nursing process, such as collecting a medication history.
The nurse also should not delegate vital signs if a patient might be
unstable from returning from a diagnostic test.
A nurse working the evening shift has five patients and is teamed up
with an assistive personnel. One of the assigned patients has just
returned from surgery, three others are stable and resting, and one
has requested a pain medication. The patient in pain has two
analgesics ordered prn for pain and has been using cold applications
on his surgical site for pain relief. The last time an analgesic was given
was 4 hours ago. The patient is scheduled for a physical therapy visit in
2 hours. Which of the following demonstrate good clinical decision
making during intervention? (Select all that apply.)
1. The nurse reviews the options for pain relief for the patient.
2. The nurse assesses whether the prn medication, ordered every 4 to
6 hours and last given 4 hours ago, is effective and whether a new
type of medication is needed.
3. The nurse reviews the policy and procedure for the cold application.
4. The nurse consi - Answer Answer: 1, 2, 4.
The nurse exercises critical judgment in decision making by reviewing
the set of all possible nursing interventions for a patient's problem,
reviewing possible consequences associated with each possible
nursing action, determining the probability of all possible
consequences, and judging the value of the consequence to the
, patient. Clinical decision making is not in play simply by accessing a
resource. Decision making would be applied if the nurse revises or
adapts how to perform the cold application. Delegation of vital signs
in a potentially unstable patient is not good clinical decision making.
A nurse working the evening shift has five patients and is teamed up
with an assistive personnel. One of the assigned patients has just
returned from surgery, one is newly admitted, and one has requested
a pain medication. The patient who has returned from surgery just
minutes ago has a large abdominal dressing, is still on oxygen by nasal
cannula, and has an intravenous line. One of the other patients has
just called out for assistance in setting up a meal tray. Another patient
is stable and resting comfortably. Which patient is the nurse's current
greatest priority?
1. Patient in pain
2. Patient newly admitted
3. Patient who returned from surgery
4. Patient requesting assistance with meal tray - Answer
Answer 3.
The patient returning from surgery is likely the most physiologically
unstable, requiring the nurse to perform an assessment and ensure
the patient is managed appropriately. The patient in pain is likely to be
the next priority, depending on the severity of the patient's reported
pain. The newly admitted patient will require a nursing history, which
