MULTIPLE CHOICE e




1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




nurse best demonstrates this concept?
e e e e e




a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care e e e e e e




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




c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
e e e e e e e e




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




ANS: A e




Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nursefocuses on communication,
e e e e e e e e e e




culture, respect compassion, client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




not providing empowering education.
e e e e




Orienting the client andfamily to theroom is animportantsafetymeasure,

e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




a. Call the Rapid Response Team.

e e e e




d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.

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

before they suffereitherrespiratoryorcardiacarrest.

Sincetheclienthasmanifestedasignificantchange, thenurseshould call the RRT. Changes in blood e e e e e e e




pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant. Documentation is vital,
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




but the nursemust do more than document. The primary care provider should be notified, but this
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients blood pressure should
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to theclient.

3. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information does
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




the nurse provide to help the client promote his or her own safety?
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. e e e e e e e e




b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
e e e e e e e




c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
e e e e e e e e e




d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
e e e e e e e e e




ANS: A e




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




client to be active in his or her health care as a partner is the most critical. The other actions are
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involveddoes.

4. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatientmedical-surgical unit. The
e e e e e e e e e e e e




preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a professionalnurse?
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




a. Attending to holistic client needs e e e e




b. Ensuring client safety e e




c. Not making medication errors
e e e




d. Providing client-focused care e e




ANS: B e




All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




priority. Up to 98,000 deaths result each year from errors in hospital care, according to the 2000
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




e Institute of Medicine report. Many more clients have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the clients safety.
