thenew nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?

b. ensuring client safety
c. not making medication errors
d. providing client-focusedcare
solution:b
all actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. however, ensuring client safety is
thepriority. healthcare errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which
result inclient injury, death, and increased healthcare costs. there are several national and
international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
every 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
errorsdoes provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

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