NURSING 335 (LINGUISTICS) WEEK 4 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS ELABORATIONS!!
The collaborative care team for a 44-year-old client admitted two days ago
following a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis is reviewing the client's progress
since admission. The nurse on the team requests a consultation with the dietician
for the client. Which is an expected outcome of the consultation?
Answers :The client will become an informed consumer.
Care that is client centered and client directed results in a client who is a more
informed healthcare consumer, leading to better client outcomes. The client will
not necessarily have to eat foods that she does not like following dietary teaching:
She will learn to choose from a variety of foods that are appropriate. There is no
way to predict whether or not the client will be any more or less likely to follow
her treatment regimen following the dietary consultation. While the client may
have questions about her insulin, this not the focus of a dietary consultation.
The nurse manager is providing training on collaboration to a group of nurses.
Which comment by a group member indicates that teaching was effective?
Group of answer choices
Answers :"I need to teach my client how important it is to adhere to her treatment
regimen."
Teaching the client the importance of following the treatment regimen engages the
client in client-centered care and can lead to improved adherence with the
treatment regimen. Effective collaboration eliminates duplication of effort and
unnecessary expenses. The nurse needs to inform the physician about the client's
progress so that the need for physical therapy can be reevaluated. Serving on a
committee can improve client outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, while
improving communication among members. The nurse may find that serving on a
committee fosters improved relationships with peers and increased job satisfaction.
Performing one's job the same way for 20 years overlooks the opportunity to
,update practice based on the latest evidence-based research, which can improve
both quality and cost of care.
The nurse is discussing care with an adult client. Which action by the nurse is the
most appropriate for providing collaborative care?
Answers :Working with the client to determine care objectives.
Setting mutually-agreed upon goals and objectives illustrates collaborative care.
Asking the client's husband to wait outside is not collaborative and is only
appropriate if the client requests it. Sharing the physician's treatment goals with the
client does not indicate collaboration. Encouraging the client to request more
aggressive treatment is considered to be offering advice and is not indicative of
collaborative care.
The charge nurse is preparing to discuss plans to improve the unit with the staff.
Based on the concept of peer collaboration, which plan will she discuss?
Answers :Discussing starting a journal club for interested staff members to discuss
new evidence-based practice findings.
Allowing nurses to volunteer to prepare brief presentations on clinical topics seen
on the unit.
Asking for volunteers to go from the day shift to night shift to cover a temporary
staff shortage.
Encouraging nurses to share their expertise on commonly encountered health
topics allows more experienced nurses to share their knowledge and experience
with others in order to ensure high-quality client care.
Allowing staff to participate in schedule changes on a volunteer basis shows
mutual respect and may foster improved relationships. A journal club gives
interested individuals a chance to improve their clinical knowledge and share with
their peers. Open visitation does not address the principles of peer collaboration.
Eating at the desk does not foster collaboration and may violate infection control
policies.
, The unit nurse manager is preparing to give a performance review to a new nurse
who has performed below expectations in multiple areas. Which factor does the
nurse manager anticipate will impact the way that this employee receives the
feedback?
Group of answer choices
Answers :The nurse's self-esteem
Self-esteem is one factor that affects how an individual perceives feedback. If the
nurse has low self-esteem, a poor review can cause feelings of failure in other areas
of life, not just on the job. While the nurse's lack of job experience can impact
performance, it does not influence how well or how poorly the nurse receives
feedback. The nurse's religious beliefs are not a factor in determining how
feedback is received. Poor time management skills can adversely affect job
performance, but are not a factor in how effectively feedback is received.
The nurse is attending a team meeting regarding the care of a client. During the
meeting, the nurse has a heated discussion with a peer. Which factors would be
likely to impede effective communication and collaboration in this situation?
Answers :Confusing roles among team members
Having a lack of respect for the peer
A lack of respect and role confusion can impede communication and collaboration.
Understanding cultural differences enhances communication and collaboration.
Trust is an essential aspect of communication and collaboration. Providing
feedback enhances communication and collaboration.
The nurse manager is establishing a team of nurses to explore ways to reduce
sharps exposure among staff on the unit. Which is an example of using
