PN Lesson 2: Safety & Infection Control Practice Test questions with correct answers

The nurse is setting up a client's dinner tray. When the nurse turns her back to the client, the client grabs the nurse's buttocks and states he is hungry for much more than dinner. Which of the following responses by the nurse is indicated? correct answer Complete an incident report To keep the therapeutic relationship intact, a nurse needs to set limits on appropriate behavior and not ignore bad behavior.
