8. A nurse assigned to a child does not know how to perform a treatment that has been prescribed
for the child. What should the nurses first action be?
a. Delay the treatment until another nurse can do it.
b. Make the childs parents aware of the situation.
c. Inform the nursing supervisor of the problem.
N
d. Arrange to have the child transferred to another unit.
ANS: C
If a nurse is not competent to perform a particular nursing task, the nurse must immediately
communicate this fact to the nursing supervisor or physician. The nurse could endanger the child
by delaying the intervention until another nurse is available. Telling the childs parents would
most likely increase their anxiety and will not resolve the difficulty. Transfer to another unit
delays needed treatment and would create unnecessary disruption for the child and family.

b. The child will accept the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus before discharge.
G
c. The parents will understand how to determine the childs daily insulin dosage.
d. The nurse will monitor blood glucose levels before meals and at bedtime.
ANS: A
N

verb accept is difficult to measure. The goal of accepting a diagnosis before hospital discharge is
unrealistic. Outcomes should be stated in client terms. Nursing actions are determined after
I
outcomes are developed in the implementation phase of the nursing process.
