Allactionsareappropriatefor theprofessionalnurse. However,ensuringclientsafetyis the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk priority. Health care errors have been widelyreported for25 years, manyof which result in client
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and international
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important for
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors does
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer. jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk

CORRECT ANSWER: A jk j k
Each action could be important for the client or familyto perform. However, encouraging the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other actions
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
, are verylimited inscopeanddo not providethebroad protection that beingactive and involved

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood pressure was
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
142/76 mm Hg30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse take first?
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
a. Callthe Rapid ResponseTeam.
jk jk jk jk
b. Document and continueto monitor. jk jk jk jk
c. Notifythe primaryhealth careprovider. jk jk jk jk jk
d. Repeatthe blood pressure in15 minutes. jk jk jk jk jk jk
, CORRECT ANSWER: A jk j k
Thepurposeof the Rapid ResponseTeam (RRT)is to intervenewhen clients are deteriorating
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate,
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’ urine output are particularly significant and are jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk part of the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk more than document. The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
bestdemonstrates this concept? jk jk jk
a. Assessesfor culturalinfluences affectinghealth care. jk jk jk jk jk jk

c. Tellsthe client and family about allupcoming tests. jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
d. Thoroughlyorients theclient and familyto the room. jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
CORRECT ANSWER: A jk j k
Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holistic
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
or “whole-person”approach to care. Byassessingthe effect of the client’s cultureon health care,
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providingempowering jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
education.Orientingthe client and familyto the room is an important safety measure, but not
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
jk directly related to demonstrating client-centered care. jk jk jk jk jk
