b. Ensuring client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care
ANS: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is

inclient injury, death, and increased health care 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.

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood
pressure was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the
nursetake first?
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b. Document and continue to monitor.
c. Notify the primary health care provider.
d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes.
ANS: A
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are
deterioratingbefore they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested

a significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,
heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’ urine output are particularly
significant and are part of the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but
the nurse must do more than document.
The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not more important than calling
the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting
the rapid care to the client.
DIF: Applying TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and DocumentationKEY: Rapid
Response Team (RRT), Clinical judgment
MSC: Client Needs Category: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the
nurse
best demonstrates this concept?

b. Ensures that all the client’s basic needs are met.
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests.
