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


ANSWER: A
Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nursefocuses 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 andfamily to theroom is animportantsafetymeasure,
butnotdirectlyrelatedtodemonstratingclient-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 isbest?
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.
ANSWER: A
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are
deteriorating before they suffereitherrespiratoryorcardiacarrest.
Sincetheclienthasmanifestedasignificantchange, thenurseshould call the RRT.
Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly
significant. Documentation is vital, but the nursemust 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 theclient.

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

c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.
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 involveddoes.


DIF: Understanding/Comprehension REF: 3 KEY: Patient safety


MSC: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and
Infection Control


4. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatientmedical-surgical
unit. The preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a
professionalnurse?
a. Attending to holistic client needs
b. Ensuring client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care
ANSWER: 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.
