Rationale: An incident is any event that is not consistent
with the routine operation of a health care unit or routine
care of a client. Examples of incidents include client falls,
needlestick injuries, a visitor having symptoms of illness,
medication administration errors, accidental omission of
prescribed therapies, and circumstances leading to injury
or a risk for injury. An incident report does not need to be
filed if a client has a seizure unless the client sustains
injury as a result of the seizure. If the nurse determines
that a client would benefit from the use of a walker to
ambulate, he or she should take the appropriate action to
obtain one. If the nurse notes that the battery of an
intravenous infusion pump is not working, he or she
should obtain a functioning pump and send the
nonfunctioning pump to the appropriate department for
repair.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use knowledge of the subject,
reasons for filing an incident report, to assist you with the
process of elimination. Read each option carefully.
Recalling that an incident is any event that is not
consistent with the routine operation of a health care unit
or routine care of a client will direct you to the correct
option. Review the reasons for filing an incident report if
you had difficulty with this question.

Question 2 pts
A nurse, charting the administration of medications to an
assigned client at 9 p.m., notes that atenolol (Tenormin) was
prescribed to be administered at 9 a.m. instead of 9 p.m. The
nurse checks the client’s vital signs, completes an incident report,
and calls the health care provider to report the error. The health
care provider tells the nurse that an incident report is not needed
but instructs her to monitor the client during the night for
hypotension. What action should the nurse take?

Notifying the nursing supervisor

Telling the health care provider that the error warrants the
completion of an incident report
Telling the nursing supervisor that the health care provider did not
want an incident report completed and filed
Rationale: Incident reports are an important part of a
health care agency’s quality improvement program. An
incident is any event that is not consistent with the routine
operation of a health care unit or routine care of a client.
An example of an incident is administering a medication at
a time at which it is not prescribed to be given. Whenever
an incident occurs, an incident report is completed and
filed in accordance with agency guidelines. The nursing
supervisor would be notified of the incident; however, on
the basis of the data in the question, the nurse should tell
the health care provider that the error warrants completion
and follow-through with an incident report. Therefore, the
other options are incorrect.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject of the
question, the health care provider’s telling the nurse that
an incident report is not needed. Eliminate the comparable
or alike options that involve notifying the nursing
supervisor. To select from the remaining options, recall the
purpose of an incident report to select the correct option.
Review the procedures involved in completing and filing
incident reports if you had difficulty with this question.
