All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




priority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in
69 69 69 69 69

abirb .com/tes t 6 9 6 9 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




client injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and
69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. Every 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important for

quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors does

provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

69 significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,

notified, but this is not more important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure

Medication reconciliation is a formal process in which the client’s actual current medications are
69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




compared to the prescribed medications at the time of admission, transfer, or discharge. This

National client Safety Goal is important to reduce medication errors. The client would not
69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




have to be responsible for providers washing their hands, and even if the client does so, this is
69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69 69




too narrow to be the most important action to prevent errors. Keeping the provider’s phone
69 69 69




number nearby and documenting everyone who enters the room also do not guarantee safety.
