Ch. 1 — Professional Nursing Practice — Nursing
Question Stem
A newly licensed RN is preparing to accept report on four
patients. Which action best demonstrates professional
nursing practice during the handoff?
A. Accept assignments without clarifying unfamiliar
diagnoses.
B. Ask the outgoing nurse for key safety concerns and
anticipated changes.
C. Rely solely on the electronic health record (EHR)
instead of speaking with the nurse.

, D. Delegate initial assessments to a nursing assistant to
save time.
Correct Answer
B
Rationales
• Correct: Asking for key safety concerns and
anticipated changes reflects professional
accountability and ensures safe continuity of care. It
promotes situation awareness and planning.
• A: Accepting assignments without clarification risks
unsafe practice when unfamiliar diagnoses or needs
exist.
• C: Relying only on the EHR may miss dynamic
bedside information and clinical nuance
communicated during report.
• D: Delegating initial assessments to a nursing
assistant without first obtaining report ignores RN
responsibility for initial prioritization.
Teaching Point
Clarify safety risks and anticipated changes during
handoff to ensure safe care transitions.
