A patient diagnosed with colon cancer has been receiving chemotherapy for six
weeks. The patient visits the outpatient infusion center twice a week for infusions. The
nurse assigned to the patient is having difficulty accessing the patient's intravenous
port used to administer the chemotherapy. Despite attempts to flush the port, it is
obstructed. This occurred two weeks earlier as well. What steps should the nurse
follow to make a consultation with a member of the IV infusion team? (Select all that
apply.)
1. Ask the IV nurse to come to the infusion center at a time when the nurse starts care
for a second patient.
2. Specifically identify the problem of port obstruction and attempt to flush the port
to resolve the problem.
,3. Explain to the IV nurse the frequency in which this port has obstructed in the past.
4. Tell the IV nurse the problem is probably related to the physician who inserted the
port.
5. Describe to the IV nurse the type and condition of the port currently in use.

,The nurses on an acute care medical floor notice an increase in pressure injury
formation in their patients. A nurse consultant decides to compare two types of
treatment. The first is the procedure currently used to assess for pressure injury risk.
The second uses a new assessment instrument to identify at-risk patients. Given this
information, the nurse consultant exemplifies which career?
1. Clinical nurse specialist
2. Nurse administrator
3. Nurse educator
4. Nurse researcher

A nurse enters a patient's room at the beginning of a shift to assess his condition
following a blood transfusion. The nurse cared for the patient on the previous day as
well. The patient has several issues he wishes to share with the nurse, who takes time
to explore each issue. The nurse also assesses the patient and finds no signs or
symptoms of a reaction to the blood product. The nurse observed the patient the
prior day and sees a change in his behavior—a reluctance to get out of bed and
ambulate. Which of the following actions improve the nurse's ability to make clinical
decisions about this patient? (Select all that apply.)
1. Working the same shift each day
2. Spending time during the patient assessment
3. Knowing the early mobility protocol guidelines
4. Caring for the patient on consecutive days
5. Knowing the pattern of patient behavior about ambulation
