CLINICAL JUDGMENT AND COLLABORATIVE CARE 11TH EDITION
BY DONNA D. IGNATAVICIUS, ALL CHAPTERS 1 – 74


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

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A nurse2wishes2to provide client-
centered2care2in all interactions. Which action by the nurse2best demonstrates this concept?
a. Assesses for2 cultural2 influences affecting health care
b. Ensures that2all2the clients basic needs are2met
c. Tells the client2and family2about all2upcoming tests
d. Thoroughly orients the client2 and family2 to the2room


CORRECT2ANSWER: A
Competency in2client-
focused2care2is demonstrated when2the nurse focuses on communication, culture, respect2compassion, client2educ
ation, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of2the clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing c
lient-
focused care. Providing for basic needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the2client about2
all upcoming tests is not2providing empowering2education. Orienting the client and family2to the2room2is an2im
portant2safety2measure, but2not2directly2related to demonstrating client-centered care.

centered2care| culture MSC: Integrated Process: Caring2NOT: Client
Needs Category: Psychosocial Integrity

The purpose of2the Rapid2Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deteriorating before they su
ffer either2respiratory2or2cardiac arrest. Since the client has2manifested a2significant2change, the2nurse should2call2t
he RRT. Changes in2blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain2are2particularly significant.
Documentation is vital, but the nurse must2do more than2document. The primary care provider2should be
notified, but this is not2the2priority2over2calling the RRT. The2clients blood pressure2should be2reassessed fre
quently, but2the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

b. Have the client2monitor2hand hygiene in caregivers.
c. Offer the family2 the opportunity to stay with the client.
d. Tell2the client to2always wear his or2her armband.


CORRECT2ANSWER: A
Each action2could2be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the client2to be act
ive in his or her health care as a2partner2is the most critical. The other actions are very limited2in scope and do n
ot2provide the broad2protection that being active and involved does.

urse?
a. Attending to holistic client needs
b. Ensuring2client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care


CORRECT2ANSWER: B
All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client2safety2is the priority. Up to 9

5. A client2is2going to be admitted2for2a2scheduled surgical procedure. Which2action2does the2nurse explain2is th
e most important thing2the client can do to protect against errors?
a. Bring a2list of2 all medications2 and what they2are for.
b. Keep2the doctors phone2 number by the2telephone.
c. Make sure all2 providers wash hands before entering2 the room.
d. Write down the name of2each caregiver who comes in2the room.


CORRECT2ANSWER: A
Medication errors are the most2common type of2health care mistake. The Joint2Commissions Speak Up camp
aign encourages clients2to help ensure their safety. One recommendation is for2clients to know all their medicatio
ns and why they2take them. This will help prevent medication errors.

6. Which2action by2the nurse2working2with a2 client best2 demonstrates respect for autonomy?
a. Asks if2the client has2questions before signing a2consent
b. Gives the client accurate information when questioned
c. Keeps the promises made to the client and family
d. Treats the client2fairly compared2to other clients
CORRECT2ANSWER: A
Autonomy2is self-
determination. The2client2should make decisions regarding2care. When the nurse2obtains a2signature on the conse
nt2form, assessing if2the client2still2has questions is vital, because without full information the client2cannot p
ractice autonomy. Giving accurate information is practicing with2veracity.
Keeping promises is upholding fidelity. Treating the client fairly2is providing social justice.
