1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which
v v v v v v v v v v
action by the nurse bestdemonstrates this concept?
v v v v v v v
a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care v v v v v v
b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met v v v v v v v v
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
v v v v v v v v
d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room v v v v v v v v
ANS: A v
Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on v v v v v v v v v v
communication, culture, respect compassion, client education, and empowerment. By
v v v v v v v v v
assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply
v v v v v v v v v v v v
telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
Orienting the client and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
related to demonstrating client-centered care.

2. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pressure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the nurse is best?
v v v v
a. Call the Rapid Response Team. v v v v
b. Document and continue to monitor. v v v v
c. Notify the primary care provider. v v v v
d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes. v v v v v v
ANS: A v
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients
v v v v v v v v v v v v
v are deteriorating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
manifested a significant change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
v mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.

Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care v v v v v v v v v v v v v
provider should be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
v blood pressure should be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the
v v v v v v v v v v v
rapid care to the client.

3. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
does the nurse provide to help the client promote his or her own safety?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. v v v v v v v v
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
v v v v v v v
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
v v v v v v v v v
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
v v v v v v v v v
ANS: A v
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However,
v v v v v v v v v v v v
encouraging the client to be active in his or her health care as a partner is the most critical.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
The other actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
v being active and involved does. v v v v

4. A client is going to be admitted for a scheduled surgical procedure. Which action
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
does the nurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect against
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
v errors?
a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for.
v v v v v v v v v v
b. Keep the doctors phone number by the telephone.
v v v v v v v
c. Make sure all providers wash hands before entering the room.

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

Medication errors are the most common type of health care mistake. The Joint v v v v v v v v v v v v
Commissions Speak Up campaign encourages clients to help ensure their safety. One
v v v v v v v v v v v v
recommendation is for clients to know all their medications and why they take them.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
This will help prevent medication errors.

5. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a professional
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurse?
v
a. Attending to holistic client needs v v v v
b. Ensuring client safety v v
c. Not making medication errors v v v
d. Providing client-focused care v v
ANS: B v
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client
v v v v v v v v v v
v safety is the priority. Up to98,000 deaths result each year from errors in hospital care,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
according to the 2000 Institute of Medicine report. Many more clients have suffered
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the
