1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll new nurse that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
a. Attending to holistic client needs ll ll ll ll
b. Ensuring client safety ll ll
c. Not making medication errors ll ll ll
d. Providing client-focused care ll ll
CORRECT ANSWER: B ll ll
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll priority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll client injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll does provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit. What information
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll does the nurse provide to best help the client promote his or her own safety?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client. ll ll l ll ll ll ll ll ll
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
CORRECT ANSWER: A ll ll
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
, ll actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll involved does. ll

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood pressure
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll was 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll take first?ll
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
ll ll ll ll
b. Document and continue to monitor. ll ll ll ll
c. Notify the primary health care provider.ll ll ll ll ll
d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. ll ll ll ll ll ll
, CORRECT ANSWER: A ll ll
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’ urine output are particularly
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll significant and are part of the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll but the nurse must do more than document. The primary health care provider would be
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll notified, but this is not more important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll be reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

5. A client is going to be admitted for a scheduled surgical procedure. Which action does the
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll nurse explain is the most important thing the client can do to protect against errors?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
a. Bring a list of all medications and what they are for. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll
b. Keep the provider’s phone number by the telephone. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
c. Make sure that all providers wash hands before entering the room. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
d. Write down the name of each caregiver who comes in the room. ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
