MULTIPLE CHOICE b2




1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 action by the nurse best demonstrates this concept?
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




CORRECT ANSWER: A b2 b2



Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 communication, culture, respect compassion, client education, and empowerment. By
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



empowering education. Orienting the client and family to the room is an important
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.

2. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 pressure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 action by the nurse is best?
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b2 b2 b2 b2



b. Document and continue to monitor. b2 b2 b2 b2



c. Notify the primary care provider.
b2 b2 b2 b2



d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




CORRECT ANSWER: A b2 b2



The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 deteriorating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 has manifested a significant change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



care provider should be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 RRT. The clients blood pressure should be reassessed frequently, but the
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2



b2 priority is getting the rapid care to the client.
