CHAPTER 01: OVERVIEW OF PROFESSIONAL NURSING CONCEPTS FOR MEDICAL-
SURGICAL NURSING
1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the new
nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
a. Attending to holistic client needs
b. Ensuring client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care
ANS: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the priority.
Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in client injury, death,
and increased health care costs. There are several national and international organizations that have
either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the
client's safety. The other actions are important for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing
safety. Not making medication errors does provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best
answer.
DIF: Understanding
TOP: Integrated Process: Nursing Process: Intervention
KEY: Client safety
MSC: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control
2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What information does the
nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own safety?
, a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
ANS: A
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the client to
be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other actions are very
limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involved does.
DIF: Understanding
TOP: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
KEY: Client safety
MSC: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control
3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client's blood pressure was
142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse take first?
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b. Document and continue to monitor.
c. Notify the primary health care provider.
d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes.
ANS: A
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating before
they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant change, the
nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, temperature, oxygen
saturation, and last 2 hours' urine output are particularly significant and are part of the Modified Early
Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The
primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more important than calling the RRT.
The client's blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting rapid care to the
client.
DIF: Applying
TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation
KEY: Rapid Response Team (RRT), Clinical judgment
MSC: Client Needs Category: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse best
demonstrates this concept?
a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care.
b. Ensures that all the client's basic needs are met.
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests.
d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room.
ANS: A
Showing respect for the client and family's preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holistic or
"whole-person" approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client's culture on health care, this
nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this
competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education.
