Chapter 01: Overview of Professional Nursing Concepts for
Medical-Surgical Nursing Ignatavicius: Medical-Surgical Nursing,
10th Edition




MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on a medical-surgical unit. The
preceptor advises the new nurse that which is the priority when working
as a professional nurse?
a.
Attending to holistic client needs
b.
Ensuring client safety
c.
Not making medication errors
d.
Providing client-focused care

CORRECT ANSWER: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring
client safety is the priority. Health care errors have been widely reported
for 25 years, many of which result in client injury, death, and increased
health care costs. There are several national and international
organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety
initiatives.
Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other
actions are important for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as
providing safety. Not making medication errors does provide safety, but is
too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-surgical unit.
What information does the nurse provide to best help the client
promote his or her own safety?
a.
Encourage the client and family to be active partners.

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

CORRECT 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
safety 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.
