1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
new nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
a. Attending to holistic client needs Il* Il* Il* Il*
b. Ensuring client safety Il* Il*
c. Not making medication errors Il* Il* Il*
d. Providing client-focused care Il* Il*
CORRECT ANSWER: B Il* I l *
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
priority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
client injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
does provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What information
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
does the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own safety?
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers. Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client. Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband. Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
CORRECT ANSWER: Il*
I l * A
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other
Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il* Il*
actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and
