Chapter 1 Concepts and Trends in Healthcare
◦ A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit.
The preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a
professional nurse?
◦ Attending to holistic client needs
◦ Ensuring client safety
◦ Not making medication errors
◦ Providing client-
focused care
ANS: B
◦ 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.

Process: Intervention

Environment: Safety and Infection Control
◦ A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What
information does the nurse provide to help the client promote his or her own
safety?
◦ Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
◦ Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
◦ Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
◦ 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 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.
