Chapter 1 pp Concepts and Trends in Healthcare pp pp pp pp




A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit. The preceptor

All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




pp priority. Up to 98,000 deaths result each year from errors in hospital care, according to the
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




pp 2000 Institute of Medicine report. Many more clients have suffered injuries and less serious
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




outcomes. Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the clients safety.

The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating

pp before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a

significant change, the nurse should call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




pp heart rate, and pain are particularly significant. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do
