MULTIPLE g2CHOICE


1. A g2new g2nurse g2is g2working g2with g2a g2preceptor g2on g2a g2medical-surgical g2unit. g2The
g2 preceptor g2advises g2the g2new g2nurse g2that g2which g2is g2the g2priority g2when g2working g2as g2a
g2 professional g2nurse?
a. Attending g2to g2holistic g2client g2needs
b. Ensuring g2client g2safety

c. Not g2making g2medication g2errors
d. Providing g2client-focused g2care

CORRECT g2ANSWER: g 2 B
All g2actions g2are g2appropriate g2for g2the g2professional g2nurse. g2However, g2ensuring g2client
g2 safety g2is g2the g2priority. g2Health g2care g2errors g2have g2been g2widely g2reported g2for g225 g2years,
g2 many g2of g2which g2result g2in g2client g2injury, g2death, g2and g2increased g2health g2care g2costs.
g2 There g2are g2several g2national g2and g2international g2organizations g2that g2have g2either
g2 recommended g2or g2mandated g2safety g2initiatives.
Every g2nurse g2has g2the g2responsibility g2to g2guard g2the g2client’s g2safety. g2The g2other g2actions
g2 are g2important g2for g2quality g2nursing, g2but g2they g2are g2not g2as g2vital g2as g2providing g2safety.
g2 Not g2making g2medication g2errors g2does g2provide g2safety, g2but g2is g2too g2narrow g2in g2scope
g2 to g2be g2the g2best g2answer.

2. A g2nurse g2is g2orienting g2a g2new g2client g2and g2family g2to g2the g2medical-surgical g2unit. g2What
g2 information g2does g2the g2nurse g2provide g2to g2best g2help g2the g2client g2promote g2his g2or
g2 her g2own g2safety?
a. Encourage g2the g2client g2and g2family g2to g2be g2active g2partners.
b. Have g2the g2client g2monitor g2hand g2hygiene g2in g2caregivers.

, c. Offer g2the g2family g2the g2opportunity g2to g2stay g2with g2the g2client.
d. Tell g2the g2client g2to g2always g2wear g2his g2or g2her g2armband.

CORRECT g2ANSWER: g 2 A
Each g2action g2could g2be g2important g2for g2the g2client g2or g2family g2to g2perform. g2However,
g2 encouraging g2the g2client g2to g2be g2active g2in g2his g2or g2her g2health g2care g2as g2a g2safety g2partner
g2 is g2the g2most g2critical. g2The g2other g2actions g2are g2very g2limited g2in g2scope g2and g2do g2not
g2 provide g2the g2broad g2protection g2that g2being g2active g2and g2involved g2does.

3. A g2nurse g2is g2caring g2for g2a g2postoperative g2client g2on g2the g2surgical g2unit. g2The g2client’s

g2 blood g2pressure g2was g2142/76 g2mm g2Hg g230 g2minutes g2ago, g2and g2now g2is g288/50 g2mm
g2 Hg. g2What g2action g2would g2the g2nurse g2take g2first?
a. Call g2the g2Rapid g2Response g2Team.
b. Document g2and g2continue g2to g2monitor.
c. Notify g2the g2primary g2health g2care g2provider.
d. Repeat g2the g2blood g2pressure g2in g215 g2minutes.

, CORRECT g2ANSWER: g 2 A
The g2purpose g2of g2the g2Rapid g2Response g2Team g2(RRT) g2is g2to g2intervene g2when g2clients g2are
g2 deteriorating g2before g2they g2suffer g2either g2respiratory g2or g2cardiac g2arrest. g2Since g2the
g2 client g2has g2manifested g2a g2significant g2change, g2the g2nurse g2would g2call g2the g2RRT.
g2 Changes g2in g2blood g2pressure, g2mental g2status, g2heart g2rate, g2temperature, g2oxygen
g2 saturation, g2and g2last g22 g2hours’ g2urine g2output g2are g2particularly g2significant g2and g2are g2part
g2 of g2the g2Modified g2Early g2Warning g2System g2guide. g2Documentation g2is g2vital, g2but g2the
g2 nurse g2must g2do g2more g2than g2document. g2The g2primary g2health g2care g2provider g2would g2be
g2 notified, g2but g2this g2is g2not g2more g2important g2than g2calling g2the g2RRT. g2The g2client’s g2blood
g2 pressure g2would g2be g2reassessed g2frequently, g2but g2the g2priority g2is g2getting g2the g2rapid
g2 care g2to g2the g2client.

4. A g2nurse g2wishes g2to g2provide g2client-centered g2care g2in g2all g2interactions. g2Which g2action g2by
the g2nurse
g2


best g2demonstrates g2this g2concept?
a. Assesses g2for g2cultural g2influences g2affecting g2health g2care.
b. Ensures g2that g2all g2the g2client’s g2basic g2needs g2are g2met.
c. Tells g2the g2client g2and g2family g2about g2all g2upcoming g2tests.
d. Thoroughly g2orients g2the g2client g2and g2family g2to g2the g2room.

CORRECT g2ANSWER: g 2 A
Showing g2respect g2for g2the g2client g2and g2family’s g2preferences g2and g2needs g2is g2essential g2to
g2 ensure g2a g2holistic g2or g2“whole-person” g2approach g2to g2care. g2By g2assessing g2the g2effect g2of
g2 the g2client’s g2culture g2on g2health g2care, g2this g2nurse g2is g2practicing g2client-focused g2care.
g2 Providing g2for g2basic g2needs g2does g2not g2demonstrate g2this g2competence. g2Simply g2telling
g2 the g2client g2about g2all g2upcoming g2tests g2is g2not g2providing g2empowering g2education.
g2 Orienting g2the g2client g2and g2family g2to g2the g2room g2is g2an g2important g2safety g2measure, g2but
g2 not g2directly g2related g2to g2demonstrating g2client-centered g2care.
