1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


surgical unit. The preceptor advises the new nurse that which is the priority when workin

lv lv lv lv




a. Attending to holistic client needs lv lv lv lv




b. Ensuring client safety lv lv




c. Not making medication errors
lv lv lv




d. Providing client-focused care lv lv




- ANSWER- B
lv lv




All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the prio
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


rity. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in client inju
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


ry, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and international organizati
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


ons that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv




Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client9s safety. The other actions are important
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv l


for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors
v lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


does provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


surgical unit. What information does the nurse provide to best help the client promote his
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


or her own safety?
lv lv lv lv




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

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




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




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




- ANSWER- A
lv lv




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


ent to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other actions
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involved d

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client9s blood pre

ssure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nur
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


se take first?
lv lv




a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
lv lv lv lv




b. Document and continue to monitor. lv lv lv lv




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




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




- ANSWER- A
lv lv




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


efore they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant c
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


hange, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, tempe
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


rature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours9 urine output are particularly significant and are part o

f the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more

vthan document. The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more import
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


ant than calling the RRT. The client9s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the pr

iority is getting the rapid care to the client.

4. A nurse wishes to provide client- lv lv lv lv lv


centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv




best demonstrates this concept?
lv lv lv




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




b. Ensures that all the client9s basic needs are met. lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv




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




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




- ANSWER- A
lv lv




Showing respect for the client and family9s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holistic
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv


or <whole-lv


person= approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client9s culture on health care, this nurs

focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling th

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


the nurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect against errors?
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv lv




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




b. Keep the provider9s phone number by the telephone.
lv lv lv lv lv lv lv




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




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




- ANSWER- A
lv lv




Medication reconciliation is a formal process in which the client9s actual current medications are

compared to the prescribed medications at the time of admission, transfer, or discharge. This Na
