Medical-Surgical Nursing Concepts for Clinical Judgment and
Collaborative Care
By: Donna D. Ignatavicius (11TH Edition)
,Chapter 01: Overview Of Professional Nursing Concepts For Medical-
Surgical Nursing
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A Nurse Wishes To Provide Client-Centered Care In All Interactions. Which Action By The Nurse
Best Demonstrates This Concept?
a. Assesses For Cultural Influences Affecting Health Care
b. Ensures That All The Clients Basic Needs Are Met
c. Tells The Client And Family About All Upcoming Tests
d. Thoroughly Orients The Client And Family To The Room
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Competency In Client-Focused Care Is Demonstrated When The Nurse Focuses On Communication,
Culture, Respect Compassion, Client Education, And Empowerment. By Assessing The Effect Of The
Clients Culture On Health Care, This Nurse Is Practicing Client-Focused Care. Providing For Basic Needs
Does Not Demonstrate This Competence. Simply Telling The Client About All Upcoming Tests Is Not
Providing Empowering Education. Orienting The Client And Family To The Room Is An Important Safety
Measure, But Not Directly Related To Demonstrating Client-Centered Care.
2. A Nurse Is Caring For A Postoperative Client On The Surgical Unit. The Clients Blood Pressure
Was 142/76 Mm Hg 30 Minutes Ago, And Now Is 88/50 Mm Hg. What Action By The Nurse Is Best?
a. Call The Rapid Response Team.
b. Document And Continue To Monitor.
c. Notify The Primary Care Provider.
d. Repeat Blood Pressure Measurement In 15 Minutes.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
The Purpose Of The Rapid Response Team (RRT) Is To Intervene When Clients Are Deteriorating Before
They Suffer Either Respiratory Or Cardiac Arrest. Since The Client Has Manifested A Significant Change,
The Nurse Should Call The RRT. Changes In Blood Pressure, Mental Status, Heart Rate, And Pain Are
Particularly Significant.
,Documentation Is Vital, But The Nurse Must Do More Than Document. The Primary Care Provider
Should Be Notified, But This Is Not The Priority Over Calling The RRT. The Clients Blood Pressure Should
Be Reassessed Frequently, But The Priority Is Getting The Rapid Care To The Client.

KEY: Rapid Response Team (RRT)| Medical Emergencies MSC: Integrated Process: Communication And
Documentation
3. A Nurse Is Orienting A New Client And Family To The Inpatient Unit. What Information Does The
Nurse Provide To Help The Client Promote His Or Her Own Safety?
a. Encourage The Client And Family To Be Active Partners.
b. Have The Client Monitor Hand Hygiene In Caregivers.
c. Offer The Family The Opportunity To Stay With The Client.
d. Tell The Client To Always Wear His Or Her Armband.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
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 Partner Is The Most Critical. The Other Actions Are Very
Limited In Scope And Do Not Provide The Broad Protection That Being Active And Involved Does.
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe And Effective Care Environment: Safety And Infection Control
4. A New Nurse Is Working With A Preceptor On An Inpatient Medical-Surgical Unit. The Preceptor
Advises The Student That Which Is The Priority When Working As A Professional Nurse?
a. Attending To Holistic Client Needs
b. Ensuring Client Safety
c. Not Making Medication Errors
d. Providing Client-Focused Care
CORRECT ANSWER: B
All Actions Are Appropriate For The Professional Nurse. However, Ensuring Client Safety Is The Priority.
Up To98,000 Deaths Result Each Year From Errors In Hospital Care, According To The 2000 Institute Of
, Medicine Report. Many More Clients Have Suffered Injuries And Less Serious Outcomes. Every Nurse
Has The Responsibility To Guard The Clients Safety.
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe And Effective Care Environment: Safety And Infection Control
5. A Client Is Going To Be Admitted For A Scheduled Surgical Procedure. Which Action Does The
Nurse Explain Is The Most Important Thing The Client Can Do To Protect Against Errors?
a. Bring A List Of All Medications And What They Are For.
b. Keep The Doctors Phone Number By The Telephone.
c. Make Sure All Providers Wash Hands Before Entering The Room.
d. Write Down The Name Of Each Caregiver Who Comes In The Room.

Up Campaign Encourages Clients To Help Ensure Their Safety. One Recommendation Is For Clients To
Know All Their Medications And Why They Take Them. This Will Help Prevent Medication Errors.
DIF: Applying/Application REF: 4
KEY: Speak Up Campaign| Patient Safety MSC: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe And Effective Care Environment: Safety And Infection Control
6. Which Action By The Nurse Working With A Client Best Demonstrates Respect For Autonomy?
a. Asks If The Client Has Questions Before Signing A Consent
b. Gives The Client Accurate Information When Questioned
c. Keeps The Promises Made To The Client And Family
d. Treats The Client Fairly Compared To Other Clients
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Autonomy Is Self-Determination. The Client Should Make Decisions Regarding Care. When The Nurse
Obtains A Signature On The Consent Form, Assessing If The Client Still Has Questions Is Vital, Because
Without Full Information The Client Cannot Practice Autonomy. Giving Accurate Information Is
Practicing With Veracity.
Keeping Promises Is Upholding Fidelity. Treating The Client Fairly Is Providing Social Justice.
