preceptor advises the new nurse that which is the priority when working as a
professional nurse?
a. attending to holistic client needs
b. ensuring client safety
c. not making medication errors
d. providing client-focused care
ANS>>>b
all actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. however, ensuring client
safety is the priority. health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years,
many of which result in client injury, death, and increased health care costs. there
are several national and international organizations 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 quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. not making
medication errors does provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best
answer.

encouraging the client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is
the most critical. the other actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the
broad protection that being active and involved does.
