High-Acuity Nursing Question 1 Type: MCSA The patient who had surgery yesterday reports his chest feels tight. Assessment reveals respiratory rate of 29, inspiratory wheezes, stridor, and an oxygenation saturation of 80%. The nurse would consider this patient to be which priority for transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU)? 1. Priority 12. Priority 23. Priority 34. Priority 4Correct Answer: 1Rationale 1: This patient is exhibiting signs of an acute respiratory event for which intubation orother intensive treatment may be necessary. Priority 1 patients are acutely ill and need intensivetreatment and monitoring not provided outside of the ICU.Rationale 2: Priority 2 refers to patients needing intensive monitoring and may potentially needadditional interventions. They are typically not evolving an acute event as is the case with thispatient.Rationale 3: Priority 3 patients are critically ill but have little chance of recovery from theirillnesses. Limits are placed on therapeutic interventions and they can be cared for in areas otherthan the ICU if necessary.Rationale 4: Priority 4 patients have no signs or symptoms that indicate intensive monitoring ortreatment are necessary.Global Rationale:Cognitive Level: AnalyzingClient Need: Safe Effective Care EnvironmentClient Need Sub: Management of CareNursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: PlanningLearning Outcome: 1-1Question 2Type: MCSAThe daughter of a patient who is dying questions the placement of her father on themedicalsurgical care unit (MSCU). She requests he be placed in the intensive care unit (ICU)because of concern her father may not receive close observation on a busy hospital unit. Whichaction is indicated by the nurse?1. Notify the intensive care unit of an impending transfer.2. Tell the daughter that her father does not meet criteria for placement in the more expensiveICU.3. Discuss the care that can be provided on the unit with the family member.4. Contact the physician.Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nurse cannot make this transfer decision independently. Rationale 2: Telling the daughter that her father does not meet criteria for transfer is not therapeutic. Bringing up the issue of cost may cause the daughter to offer to pay the difference between the costs of the two units. This would create a serious ethical dilemma. Rationale 3: The best initial response is to help the daughter understand the level of care and observation that will be provided on the MSCU so as to help her understand that her fathers care will be a priority. Rationale 4: The nurse should try to intervene in this situation before involving the physician. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Management of Care Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation Learning Outcome: 1-1 Question 3 Type: MCSA A nurse who is contemplating taking a position in an intensive care unit is reviewing her strengths and weaknesses. Which characteristics of the nurse will be of the greatest benefit in the intensive care environment? 1. Feels comfortable in ever changing situations 2. Closely evaluates the pros and cons of each decision for a long period of time before making a decision 3. Is quiet and introverted 4. Is excited about all new experiences Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The nurse in the intensive care unit must be open to ever-changing situations. The nurse must be flexible. Rationale 2: The rapid changes in the intensive care unit do not allow for extended time when considering actions. Rationale 3: A quiet and introverted nurse may not be a good match for the high paced high-acuity care unit due to the need for teamwork and interaction. Rationale 4: Excitement about all experiences is a beneficial characteristic in healthcare but is not the most important factor for this particular care unit. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Management of Care Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: 1-2 Question 4 Type: MCSA The registered nurse is working as charge nurse on a busy high-acuity care unit. Unexpectedly, a coworker becomes ill and needs to leave. There is a period of time in which the unit is short
