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




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




a. Attending to holistic client needs k k k k




b. Ensuring client safety k k




c. Not making medication errors k k k




d. Providing client-focused care k k




CORRECT ANSWER: Bk k




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




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




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




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




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




important for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




medication errors 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
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




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




a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. k k k k k k k k




b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.

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

CORRECT ANSWER: Ak k




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




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

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




kand involved does.

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




kwas 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




knurse take first?
k k




a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
k k k k




b. Document and continue to monitor. k k k k




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




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

, CORRECT ANSWER: A k k




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




best demonstrates this concept?
k k k




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




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




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




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




CORRECT ANSWER: A k k




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




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




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




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




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




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

the nurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect against
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




errors?

a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for.

b. Keep the provider’s phone number by the telephone.
