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? AL
a. Attending to holistic client needs AL AL AL AL
b. Ensuring client safety AL AL
c. Not making medication errors AL AL AL
d. Providing client-focused care AL AL
CORRECT ANSWER: B AL A L
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the pri
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
ority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in client i
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
njury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and international orga
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
nizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important f
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
or quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors d

2. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the medical-

a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners. AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL

3. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The client’s blood pressure w

as 142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse tak
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
e first?
AL
a. Call the Rapid Response Team. AL AL AL AL
b. Document and continue to monitor. AL AL AL AL
c. Notify the primary health care provider. AL AL AL AL AL
d. Repeat the blood pressure in 15 minutes. AL AL AL AL AL AL
, CORRECT ANSWER: A AL A L
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating b
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
efore they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significa
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
nt change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, t

do more than document. The primary health care provider would be notified, but this is not m
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL

4. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
best demonstrates this concept? AL AL AL
a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care. AL AL AL AL AL AL
b. Ensures that all the client’s basic needs are met. AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests. AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room. AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
CORRECT ANSWER: A AL A L
Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a holist
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
ic or “whole-
AL AL
person” approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client’s culture on health care, this nurs
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
e is practicing client-
AL AL AL
focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling t
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
he client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the client
AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL AL
and family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrati
