heart rate is 80 beats per minute.” The obstetrician replies “Yes, thanks.” What is an
appropriate initial response by the RN?

“I will continue to monitor and report the
findings.” “We need to notify the surgical
team now.”
“The baby seems to be in distress.”
The RN manager is coordinating the implementation of patient centered rounds for the
nursing unit. Which action facilitates quality, cost-effective use of the team members’
time during patient-centered rounds?

are complete.
Incorporate teaching of various disease states during rounds.
