,C. Privately discuss the delegation policy with the
staff nurse.
D. Assign the staff nurse to a different patient
assignment.

correction, ignoring (B) compromises patient
safety, and changing assignments (D) does not
address the root behavior.

electronic health record system. Which strategy is
most effective in reducing staff resistance to this
change?

without training.

and allow staff to practice in a test environment.
Rationale: Education and hands-on practice reduce
anxiety and build competence, which are key to
overcoming resistance. Mandating without
training (A) increases errors and frustration.
Bonuses (C) may create short-term compliance but
not lasting acceptance. Waiting for full support (D)
is unrealistic and delays necessary improvements.
3. A patient with a history of falls is found on the
floor. After assessing the patient, what should the
nurse document first?
A. The patient’s statement about how the fall
occurred.
, B. The time the fall was discovered and the patient’s
condition.
C. The names of the staff members present.
D. The safety precautions that were in place.
Correct Answer: B. The time the fall was discovered
and the patient’s condition.
Rationale: Documentation should begin with
objective data, including the time of discovery and
the patient’s immediate physical and mental
status. This is critical for legal and clinical
purposes. The patient’s statement (A), staff names
(C), and prior precautions (D) are relevant but
secondary to the immediate clinical picture.
4. A nurse is preparing to delegate the task of
feeding a stable patient to an unlicensed assistive
personnel. Which principle of delegation must the
nurse uphold?
A. The UAP must be supervised by the nurse.
