ing_as_a_professional_nurse?
a. Attending_to_holistic_client_needs
b. Ensuring_client_safety
c. Not_making_medication_errors
d. Providing_client-focused_care
-_ANSWER-_B
All_actions_are_appropriate_for_the_professional_nurse._However,_ensuring_client_safety_is_the_pr
iority._Health_care_errors_have_been_widely_reported_for_25_years,_many_of_which_result_in_clie
nt_injury,_death,_and_increased_health_care_costs._There_are_several_national_and_international_o
rganizations_that_have_either_recommended_or_mandated_safety_initiatives.
Every_nurse_has_the_responsibility_to_guard_the_client9s_safety._The_other_actions_are_import
ant_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.

Each_action_could_be_important_for_the_client_or_family_to_perform._However,_encouraging_the_
client_to_be_active_in_his_or_her_health_care_as_a_safety_partner_is_the_most_critical._The_other_a

b. Document_and_continue_to_monitor.
c. Notify_the_primary_health_care_provider.

?
a. Bring_a_list_of_all_medications_and_what_they_are_for.

c. Make_sure_that_all_providers_wash_hands_before_entering_the_room.
d. Write_down_the_name_of_each_caregiver_who_comes_in_the_room.
