Nursing
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




advises the new nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. Attending to holistic client needs J J J J




b. Ensuring client safety J J




c. Not making medication errors
J J J




d. Providing client-focused care J J




- ANSWER- B
J J




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




Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in client injury, death,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




and increased health care costs. There are several national and international organizations that have
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
J J J J J




Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client9s safety. The other actions are important for
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




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




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
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




information does the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own safety?

b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
J J J J J J J




c. Offer the family the opportunityto stay with the client.
J J J J J J J J J




d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
J J J J J J J J J




- ANSWER- A
J J




Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the client to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other actions are very
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and involved does.

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client9s blood pressure
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse take first?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. Call the Rapid Response Team. J J J J




b. Document and continue to monitor. J J J J




c. Notify the primary health care provider. J J J J J




d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. J J J J J J




- ANSWER- A
J J




The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating before
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




theysuffer either respiratoryor cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant change, the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, temperature, oxygen
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




saturation, and last 2 hours9 urine output are particularly significant and are part of the Modified Early
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more important than calling the RRT.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




The client9s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




the client.

4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action bythe nurse
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




best demonstrates this concept?
J J J




a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care. J J J J J J




b. Ensures that all the client9s basic needs are met. J J J J J J J J




c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests.
J J J J J J J J




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




- ANSWER- A
J J




Showing respect for the client and family9s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holistic or
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




<whole-person= approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client9s culture on health care, this
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




education. Orienting the client and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




related to demonstrating client-centered care.

nurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect against errors?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for.
J J J J J J J J J J




b. Keep the provider9s phone number by the telephone.
J J J J J J J




c. Make sure that all providers wash hands before entering the room.
J J J J J J J J J J




d. Write down the name of each caregiver who comes in the room.
J J J J J J J J J J J




- ANSWER- A
J J




Medication reconciliation is a formal process in which the client9s actual current medications are
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




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




client Safety Goal is important to reduce medication errors. The client would not have to be
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




responsible for providers washing their hands, and even if the client does so, this is too narrow to be
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




the most important action to prevent errors. Keeping the provider9s phone number nearby and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




documenting everyone who enters the room also do not guarantee safety. J J J J J J J J J J
