Chapter 01: Overview of Professional Nursing Concepts for Medical-
SurgicalNursing

MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care inall interactions. Which action by the nurse best
demonstrates this concept?
a. Assesses for cultural influences affecting health care
b. Ensures that all the clients basic needs are met
c. Tells the client and family about all upcoming tests
d. Thoroughly orients the client and family to the room


ANS: A
Competency inclient-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respect
compassion, client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the clients culture on health care, this
nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence.
Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education. Orienting the client and
family to the room is an important safety measure, but not directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.


DIF: Understanding/Comprehension REF: 3
KEY: Patient-centered care| culture MSC: Integrated Process: Caring
NOT: Client Needs Category: Psychosocial Integrity


2. A nurse is caring for a postoperative client on the surgical unit. The clients blood pressure was 142/76 mm Hg
30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action by the nurse isbest?
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b. Document and continue to monitor.
c. Notify the primary care provider.
d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in15 minutes.


ANS: A
The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating 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, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant.
Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care provider should be
notified, but this is not the priority over calling the RRT. The clients blood pressure should be reassessed
frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to theclient.


DIF: Applying/Application REF: 3
KEY: Rapid Response Team (RRT)| medical emergencies MSC:
Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation
NOT: Client Needs Category: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation

3. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What information does the nurse provide to help
the client promote his or her own safety?
a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
d. Tell the client to always wear Dhoiswnolroahdeerdabrym: bscarnubdl.i
ANS: A
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the client to be active in
his or her health care as a partner is the most critical. The other actions are very limited inscope and do not provide the
broad protection that being active and involved does.


DIF: Understanding/Comprehension REF: 3 KEY:
Patient safety



MSC: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control


4. A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the
student that which is the priority when working as a professionalnurse?
a. Attending to holistic client needs
b. Ensuring client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care


ANS: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the priority. Up to 98,000
deaths result each year from errors inhospital care, according to the 2000 Institute of Medicine report. Many more
clients have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the clients
safety.


DIF: Understanding/Comprehension REF: 2 KEY:
Patient safety
MSC: Integrated Process: Nursing Process: Intervention
NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control

most important thing the client can do to protect againsterrors?

b. Keep the doctors phone number by the telephone.

d. Write down the name of each caregiver who comes in the room.
