MULTIPLE CHOICE kd




1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




new nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




a. Attending to holistic client needs kd kd kd kd




b. Ensuring client safety kd kd




c. Not making medication errors kd kd kd




d. Providing client-focused care kd kd




CORRECT ANSWER: B kd k d




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




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




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




international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




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




for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




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

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What information
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




does the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own safety?
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd

d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.

CORRECT ANSWER: A kd k d




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




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

, actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




involved does.

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood pressure
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




take first?
kd kd




a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
kd kd kd kd




b. Document and continue to monitor. kd kd kd kd




c. Notify the primary health care provider.
kd kd kd kd kd




d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. kd kd kd kd kd kd

, CORRECT ANSWER: A kd k d




The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’ urine output are particularly
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




significant and are part of the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital,
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




but the nurse must do more than document. The primary health care provider would be
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




notified, but this is not more important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




would be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




best demonstrates this concept?
kd kd kd




a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care. kd kd kd kd kd kd




b. Ensures that all the client’s basic needs are met. kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests.
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room. kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




CORRECT ANSWER: A kd k d




Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




holistic or “whole-person” approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client’s culture on
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




health care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




providing empowering education. Orienting the client and family to the room is an important
kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd




safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.
