MULTIPLE CHOICE la




1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


advises thenew nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


nurse?
la


a. Attending to holistic client needs la la la la


b. Ensuring client safety la la


c. Not making medication errors la la la


d. Providing client-focused care la la




ACCURATE ANSWER: la


B
la


Rationale:All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring
la la la la la la la la la


client safety is thepriority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


years, many of which result inclient injury, death, and increased health care costs.
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


There are several national and international organizations that have either
la la la la la la la la la la


recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
la la la la la


Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


importantfor quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


making medication errorsdoes provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


best accurate answerwer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


informationdoes the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


safety?
la


a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. la la la la la la la la


b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
la la la la la la la


c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
la la la la la la la la la


d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
la la la la la la la la la




ACCURATE ANSWER: la


A
la


Rationale:Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. la la la la la la la la la la la


la However, encouraging theclient to be active in his or her health care as a safety
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


la partner is the most critical. The other actions are very limited in scope and do not
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


la provide the broad protection that being active andinvolved does.

,3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


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


action would the nursetake first?
la la la la la la


a. Call the Rapid Response Team. la la la la


b. Document and continue to monitor. la la la la


c. Notify the primary health care provider. la la la la la


d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. la la la la la la



ACCURATE ANSWER: A la la


Rationale:The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when la la la la la la la la la la la


clients are deterioratingbefore they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since
la la la la la la la la la la la la


the client has manifested a significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last
la la la la la la la la la la la la


2 hours’ urine output are particularly significant and are part of the Modified Early
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


document. The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be reassessed
la la la la la la la la la la la la


frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


nurse
la


best demonstrates this concept?
la la la


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


b. Ensures that all the client’s basic needs are met. la la la la la la la la


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


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




ACCURATE ANSWER: A la la


Rationale:Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is la la la la la la la la la la


la essential to ensure a holistic or “whole-person” approach to care. By assessing the
la la la la la la la la la la la la


la effect of the client’s culture onhealth care, this nurse is practicing client-focused
la la la la la la la la la la la la


la care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply
la la la la la la la la la la


la telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education.
la la la la la la la la la la la


la Orienting the client and family to the room is an importantsafety measure, but not
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


la directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.

5. A client is going to be admitted for a scheduled surgical procedure. Which action
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


does thenurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


against errors?
la la


a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for.
la la la la la la la la la la


b. Keep the provider’s phone number by the telephone.
la la la la la la la


c. Make sure that all providers wash hands before entering the room.
la la la la la la la la la la


d. Write down the name of each caregiver who comes in the room.
la la la la la la la la la la la




ACCURATE ANSWER: A la la


Rationale:Medication reconciliation is a formal process in which the client’s actual la la la la la la la la la la

, current medicationsare compared to the prescribed medications at the time of
la la la la la la la la la la la la


admission, traccurate answerfer, or discharge. This National client Safety Goal is
la la la la la la la la la la la


important to reduce medication errors. The client would not have to be responsible
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


for providers washing their hands, and even if the client does so, this is too narrow
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


to be the most important action to prevent errors. Keeping the provider’s phone
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


number nearby and documenting everyone who enters the room also do not
la la la la la la la la la la la la


guarantee safety.

6. Which action by the nurse working with a client best demonstrates respect for
la la la la la la la la la la la la


autonomy?
la


a. Asks if the client has questions before signing a consent.
la la la la la la la la la


b. Gives the client accurate information when questioned.
la la la la la la


c. Keeps the promises made to the client and family. la la la la la la la la


d. Treats the client fairly compared to other clients. la la la la la la la




ACCURATE ANSWER: A la la


Rationale:Autonomy is self-determination. The client would make decisions regarding la la la la la la la la


la care. When the nurse obtains a signature on the consent form, assessing if the client
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


la still has questions is vital,because without full information the client cannot practice
la la la la la la la la la la la la


la autonomy. Giving accurate information is practicing with veracity. Keeping promises
la la la la la la la la la


la is upholding fidelity. Treating the client fairly is providing social justice.

7. A nurse asks a more seasoned colleague to explain best practices when
la la la la la la la la la la la


communicating with aperson from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, traccurate
la la la la la la la la la la


answergender, and questioning/queer (LGBTQ) community. What accurate
la la la la la la la


answerwer by the faculty is most accurate?
la la la la la la la


a. Avoid embarrassing the client by asking questions.la la la la la la


b. Don’t make assumptions about his or her health needs.
la la la la la la la la


c. Most LGBTQ people do not want to share information.
la la la la la la la la


d. No differences exist in communicating with this population.
la la la la la la la




ACCURATE ANSWER: B la la


Rationale:Many members of the LGBTQ community have faced discrimination from la la la la la la la la la


la health care providers and may be reluctant to seek health care. The nurse would
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


la never make assumptions about the needs of members of this population. Rather,
la la la la la la la la la la la


la respectful questions are appropriate. Ifapproached with sensitivity, the client with
la la la la la la la la la la


la any health care need is more likely to accurate answerwer honestly.

8. A nurse is calling the on-call health care provider about a client who had a
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


hysterectomy 2days ago and has pain that is unrelieved by the prescribed opioid
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


pain medication. Which statement comprises the background portion of the SBAR
la la la la la la la la la la la


format for communication?
la la la


a. “I would like you to order a different pain medication.”
