Answer: 3
Explanation:
1. This would be an appropriate question to ask but not the priority.
2. This question should be asked when the nurse obtains consent for the
procedure, but this question would not be the priority after the client's statement
in the stem.
3. The priority question is to ascertain if the client understands why the
procedure is being done. If the client does not clearly comprehend why the
procedure is being done, then the Patient's Self Determination Act is in jeopardy
of being violated.
4. The nurse should teach the client about what will be experienced after the
,procedure and how any pain will be managed as part of the care plan, but this
question would not be the priority after the client's statement in the stem.
Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation:
1. Care must always be based on current evidence. Nurses must be
knowledgeable about using informatics to access the best evidence for
care provision.
2. Teamwork is a knowledge, skill, or attitude that will improve the quality of
care of the facility's residents by fostering open communication, mutual
respect, and shared decision making to achieve better quality.
3. Staff incentives are not a knowledge, skill, or attitude that will improve
the quality of care of the facility's residents.
4. For a team to function well, respectful communication is an essential
skill.
5. QSEN does emphasize valuing everyone's beliefs, values, and needs. The
nursing director would include information on how to be respectful of all
cultures and individuals, but presenting information specific to the local
area does not fully meet this criteria.
