1. A nurse wishes to provide client-

centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse best demonstrates this concept?

a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care

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




ANS: A FR


Rationale:Competency in client- FR FR


focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respect compassion,
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR F R FR


client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this

Rnurse is practicing client-

focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence.
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


client and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating

2. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood pressure was 14

2/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by the nurse is best?

a. Call the Rapid Response Team.

b. Document and continue to monitor. FR FR FR FR


c. Notify the primary care provider.

d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
FR FR FR FR FR FR




ANS: A FR


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

rating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significan
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


t change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pai
FR FR FR FR F R FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


n are particularly significant.
FR FR FR


Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care provider shou
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


ld be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients blood pressure should
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR


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