◦ A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



pressure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



action by the nurse is best?
v v v v v v



◦ Call the Rapid Response Team. v v v v




◦ Document and continue to monitor. v v v v




◦ Notify the primary care provider. v v v v




◦ Repeat blood pressure measurement v v v



in 15 minutes. ANS: A
v v v v v



◦ The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when v v v v v v v v v v v



clients are deteriorating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



client has manifested a significant change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
v v v v v v v v v v v



Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



provider should be notified, but this is not the priority over calling
v v the RRT. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v



clients blood pressure should be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting
v v v the v v v v v v v v v



rapid care to the client.

◦ A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which
v v v v v v v v v v



action by the nurse best demonstrates this concept?
v v v v v v v v



◦ Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care v v v v v v




◦ Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met v v v v v v v v




◦ Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
v v v v v v v v




◦ Thoroughly orients the client and v v v v



family to the room ANS: A
v v v v v v



◦ Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse v v v v v v v v



v focuses on communication, culture, respect, compassion, client education, and
v v v v v v v v



v empowerment. By assessing the effect of the v v v v v v



◦
◦ clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. v v v v v v v v v v



v Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the
v v v v v v v v v v v



v client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the
v v v v v v v v v v v



v client and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly related to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



v demonstrating client-centered care. v v
