Rationale 1: The nurse cannot make this transfer decision independently.
Rationale 2: Telling the daughter that her father does not meet criteria for transfer is not
therapeutic. Bringing up the issue of cost may cause the daughter to offer to pay the difference
between the costs of the two units. This would create a serious ethical dilemma.
Rationale 3: The best initial response is to help the daughter understand the level of care and
observation that will be provided on the MSCU so as to help her understand that her fathers care
will be a priority.
Rationale 4: The nurse should try to intervene in this situation before involving the physician.

Learning Outcome: 1-1
Question 3
Type: MCSA
A nurse who is contemplating taking a position in an intensive care unit is reviewing her
strengths and weaknesses. Which characteristics of the nurse will be of the greatest benefit in the
intensive care environment?
1. Feels comfortable in ever changing situations
2. Closely evaluates the pros and cons of each decision for a long period of time before making a
decision
3. Is quiet and introverted
4. Is excited about all new experiences
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The nurse in the intensive care unit must be open to ever-changing situations. The
nurse must be flexible.
Rationale 2: The rapid changes in the intensive care unit do not allow for extended time when
considering actions.
Rationale 3: A quiet and introverted nurse may not be a good match for the high paced high-
acuity care unit due to the need for teamwork and interaction.
Rationale 4: Excitement about all experiences is a beneficial characteristic in healthcare but is
not the most important factor for this particular care unit.

Learning Outcome: 1-2
Question 4
Type: MCSA
The registered nurse is working as charge nurse on a busy high-acuity care unit. Unexpectedly, a
coworker becomes ill and needs to leave. There is a period of time in which the unit is short
UYTREW
, 8765432
staffed while the ill coworkers replacement travels in to work. What action by the charge nurse is
indicated?
1. Make no changes until the replacement nurse arrives.
2. Assign the less acute patients to be cared for by the unlicensed assistive personnel.
3. Assign the unlicensed assistive personnel to watch the monitors and call for help if a patient
gets into trouble.
4. Contact the house supervisor and ask for a float nurse to be sent to the unit.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The unit is understaffed. Replacement help must be provided. It is inappropriate to
wait for the replacement nurse.
Rationale 2: The unlicensed assistive personnel are only able to provide care under the direct
supervision of the nurse.
Rationale 3: Watching monitors is not within the job description of the unlicensed assistive
personnel and is not appropriate. The manager would be putting both patient safety and the
unlicensed assistive personnel at risk.
Rationale 4: The manager should obtain help until the replacement nurse arrives. Contacting the
house supervisor and asking for a temporary float nurse is the best intervention.

Learning Outcome: 1-2
Question 5
Type: MCSA
A recent nursing school graduate reports having an interview with a magnet hospital. When
preparing for the interview, the graduate nurse researches the concept of magnet status. Which
perceptions by the nurse indicate an adequate understanding?
1. Magnet status is an accreditation from the National League for Nurses.
2. Magnet status facilities pay substantial recruitment bonuses.
3. Magnet status facilities promote the interests of professional nursing.
4. Magnet status hospitals must establish nurse-to-patient ratios.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Magnet status is a designation developed by the American Nurses Credentialing
Center.
Rationale 2: Facilities with magnet designation attract nurses because of their work environment.
Often there is no need to pay recruitment bonuses.
Rationale 3: Magnet status is awarded to hospitals that are able to prove their commitment to
professional nursing practices.
Rationale 4: Nurse-to-patient ratios are not part of the magnet hospital designation.
