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 js js js js js js




b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met js js js js js js js js




c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests

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




ANSWER: : A jsjs j s




Competency in client- js js




focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respect compassion, client educat
js js js js js js js js js js js js js js




ion, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-
js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js




focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client about all
js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js




upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the client and family to the room is an important

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 is best?
js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js




a. Call the Rapid Response Team. js js js js




b. Document and continue to monitor. js js js js




c. Notify the primary care provider. js js js js




d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes. js js js js js js




ANSWER: : A jsjs j s




The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating before they suff

er either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant change, the nurse should call the
js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js js




RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
js js js js js js js js js js js js js




Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care provider should be notif

the client promote his or her own safety?
js js js js js js js

Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the client to be activ
