Chapter 01: Overview of Professional Nursing Concepts for Medical- Surgical Nursing

MULTIPLE CHOICE

A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by thenurse 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

ANS: 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.

a. Call the Rapid Response Team.

,they suffereitherrespiratoryorcardiacarrest.Sincetheclienthasmanifestedasignificantchange, 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.

A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information doesthe 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.



ANS: 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.

Med C

, d. Providing client-focused care

ANS: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
priority. Up to 98,000 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.
