All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safetyis the priorit

y. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, manyof which result in client injury,
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and international organization
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
s that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.

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

qualitynursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors does pr

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

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

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

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood pressure was
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse take first
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
?
a. Call the Rapid ResponseTeam. ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
b. Document and continue to monitor. ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
c. Notifythe primaryhealth care provider. ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
, CORRECT ANSWER: A ZXC Z X C
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating befo
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
re they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant cha
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
nge, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, temperat

document. The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more important th ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
an calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the priority is

d. Thoroughlyorients the client and familyto the room. ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
CORRECT ANSWER: A ZXC Z X C
Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holistic
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
or “whole- ZXC
person” approach to care. Byassessing the effect of the client’s culture on health care, this nurse is
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
practicing client-
ZXC ZXC
focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling th
ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC ZXC
e client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the client and f
