ANS: B v b




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




priority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in
vb vb vb vb vb



abirb .com/tes t v b v b vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




client injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. Every vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important for quality
abirb.com/test
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors does provide
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




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

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




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