complete Solutions latest 2025/2026 A+
Graded 100% Verified
history of falls, high risk meds, urinary incontinence - ANS-what are some risks of falls?
NO - ANS-can assessing/communicating fall risks be delegated to a NAP?
YES - ANS-can using skills used to prevent falls be delegated to a NAP?
wheelchair, side rails, bed alarm - ANS-what are preventative measures that should be used
BEFORE using a restraint?
aura - ANS-a warning or sense that a seizure is about to occur; often a bright light, smell, or
taste
food and drug administration (FDA) - ANS-agency responsible for the enforcement of federal
regulations regarding the manufacture, processing and distributing of foods, drugs,, and
cosmetics to protect consumers against the sale of impure or dangerous substances
immunization - ANS-reduces, and in some cases prevents, the transmission of disease from
person to person
pathogen - ANS-any microorganism capable of producing an illness
poison - ANS-any substance that impairs health or destroys life, when ingested, inhaled, or
absorbed by the body
pollutant - ANS-a harmful chemical or waste material discharged into the water, soil, or air
restraint - ANS-any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment
that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a patient to move his or her arms, legs, body, or head
freely
seizure - ANS-hyperexcitation and disorderly discharge of neurons in the brain leading to a
sudden, violent, involuntary series of muscle contractions that is paroxysmal and episodic,
causing loss of consciousness, falling, tonicity (rigidity of muscles), and clonicity (jerking of
muscles)
, seizure precautions - ANS-encompass all nursing interventions to protect the patient from
traumatic injury, position for adequate ventilation and drainage of oral secretions, and provide
privacy and support following the seizure
status epilepticus - ANS-a medical emergency that requires intensive monitoring and treatment;
prolonged or repeated seizures
hands - ANS-the most common means of transmission of pathogens is...
T - ANS-T or F? almost any substance is poisonous if too much is taken
F - ANS-T or F? noise is NOT a form of pollution
acuity ratings - ANS-determine the hours of care and number of staff required for a given group
of patients every shift or every 24 hours; ex. system classifies bathing patients from 1
(independent in all but one or two aspects of care; almost ready for discharge) to 5 (totally
dependent in all aspects of care; requiring intensive care)
charting by exception - ANS-philosophy behind this is that a patient meets all standards unless
otherwise documented; the predefined statements used to document nursing assessment of
body systems are called "within normal limits"; you only write a progress note when a patient's
assessment does not meet the standardized criteria for "normal" in one or more body system
clinical decision support system (CDSS) - ANS-computerized programs used within the health
care sitting to aid and support clinical decision making; the knowledge base contains rules and
logic statements that link information required for clinical decisions to generate tailored
recommendations for individual patients which are presented to nurses as alerts, warnings, or
other information for consideration
clinical practice guidelines - ANS-facilitate the creation and documentation of a nursing and or
interprofessional plan of care; each one facilitates safe and consistent care for an identified
problem by describing or listing institutional standards and evidence based guidelines that are
easily assessed and included in a patient's EHR; ***they can be modified, allowing you to
individualize interventions, goals, and/or outcomes for each patient
Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) - ANS-this software is how the nurse receiving a TO
or VO enters a complete order into the computer for entry in the computer as soon as possible
critical pathways - ANS-interprofessional care plans that identify patient problems, key
interventions, and expected outcomes within an established time fame; the document facilitates
the integration of care because all health care team members use the same one to monitor a
patient's progress during each shift or visit
