Chapter 10 Hematological and Immunological Management
1. The client diagnosed with breast cancer who is positive for the BRCA gene is requesting
advice from the nurse about treatment options. Which statement is the nurse’s best response?
1. “If it were me in this situation, I would consider having a bilateral mastectomy.”
2. “What treatment options has your healthcare provider (HCP) discussed with you?”
3. “You should discuss your treatment options with your HCP.”
4. “Have you talked with your significant other (SO) about the treatment options
available to you?”
Correct answer: 2
1. This is boundary crossing because the nurse does not have breast cancer. The nurse should
assess what information the client is really seeking and then explain the treatment or refer the
client, as appropriate.
2. The nurse must assess what information the client actually needs. To do this, the nurse must
know what treatment options have been suggested to the client. Assessment is the first step in
the nursing process.
3. This may be needed after the nurse further assesses the situation, but this is not the first

intervention.
4. The client needs information about treatment options from a designated HCP; the significant
other would not have such information/ suggestions.
2. The staff nurse answers the telephone on a medical unit and the caller tells the nurse
that he has planted a bomb in the facility. Which actions should the nurse implement?
Select all that apply.
1. Do not touch any suspicious object.
2. Call 911, the emergency response system.
3. Try to get the caller to provide additional
information. 4. Immediately pull the red emergency
wall lever.
5. Write down exactly what the caller says.
Correct answer: 1, 3, 5
1. The nurse should begin a systematic search of the unit after activating the bomb scare
emergency plan, and if any suspicious objects are found the nurse should not touch them,
and should notify the bomb squad.

2. The nurse should notify the house supervisor and administration because they are responsible
for notifying the police department.
3. The nurse should stay calm and try to keep the caller on the telephone. The nurse
should attempt to get as much information from the caller as possible. The nurse can jot a
note to someone nearby to initiate the bomb scare procedure.
4. The red emergency levers in hospitals are to notify the fire departments of a fire, not a
bomb scare.
5. The nurse should try to transcribe exactly what the caller says; this may help identify who
is calling and where a bomb might be placed.
MAKING NURSING DECISIONS: The nurse must be knowledgeable of hospital emergency
preparedness. Students as well as new employees receive this information in hospital orientations
and are responsible for implementing procedures correctly. The NCLEX-RN® blueprint includes
questions on the Safe and Effective Care Environment.
3. The new graduate working on a medical unit night shift is concerned that the charge nurse is
drinking alcohol on duty. On more than one occasion, the new graduate has smelled alcohol
when the charge nurse returns from a break. Which action should the new graduate nurse
implement first?
1. Confront the charge nurse with the suspicions.
2. Talk with the night supervisor about the concerns.

3. Ignore the situation unless the nurse cannot do her job.
4. Ask to speak to the nurse educator about the problem.
Correct answer: 2
1. The new graduate must work under this charge nurse; confronting the nurse would not resolve
the issue because the nurse can choose to ignore the new graduate. Someone in authority over the
charge nurse must address this situation with the nurse.
2. The night supervisor or the unit manager has the authority to require the charge nurse
to submit to drug screening. In this case, the supervisor on duty should handle the
situation.
3. The new graduate is bound by the nursing practice acts to report potentially unsafe behavior
regardless of the position the nurse holds.
4. The nurse educator would not be in a position of authority over the charge nurse.
MAKING NURSING DECISIONS: When the nurse is deciding on a course of action
involving other staff members, a rule of thumb is this: If the individual the nurse is concerned
about is superior in job title to the nurse, then the nurse should go through the chain of command
to the next level of superior. If the individual is subordinate in job title to the nurse, then the
nurse should confront the individual.
