Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on

tcommunication, culture, respectcompassion,clienteducation,and empowerment.By t t t s

2. A nurse is caring fora postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood pressure
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
was 142/76 mmHg30minutesago,and now is88/50mmHg.Whatactionby the nurse is
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t

,b. Document and continue to monitor. t t t t
c. Notify the primary care provider.
t t t t
d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
t t t t t t
ANS:A t
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
t deteriorating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has
t t t t t t t t t t t t
t manifested a significant change, the nurse shouldcall the RRT. Changes in blood pressure,
t t t t t t t t t t t t
t mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
t t t t t t t t
Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care t t t t t t t t t t t t t
t provider should be notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
t blood pressure should be reassessed frequently, but thepriority is getting the rapid care
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
t to the client.
