Chapter 01: Overview of Professional Nursing Concepts for Medical- Surgical Nursing
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. 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 clients basic needs are met
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room
CORRECT ANSWER
A
A nurse demonstrates competency in client-focused care when they prioritize communication, culture,
respect, compassion, client education, and empowerment. 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.
Orienting the client and family to the room is an important 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 pressure was
142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by the nurse isbest?
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b. Document and continue to monitor.
c. Notify the primary care provider.
d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
CORRECT ANSWER
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 should call the RRT. Changes in blood
pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant. Documentation is vital, but the nurse
must do more than just record. Notifying the primary care provider is important, but it should not take
precedence over calling the RRT. The client's blood pressure should be reassessed frequently, but the
priority is getting rapid care for the client.

CORRECT ANSWER
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 partner is the most critical. The other actions are very limited in scope
and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involveddoes.

CORRECT ANSWER

All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the priority. Up to
98,000 deaths result each year from errors in hospital care, according to the 2000 Institute of Medicine
report. Many more clients have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has the
responsibility to guard the clients safety.
