Correct answer  Question 1 1 / 1 pts Autocratic leadership Transformational leadership Shared leadership Democratic leadership You have one attempt with no time limit to take this quiz. Faculty recommend that you read the required material before completing the quiz. Hospital leadership seeking Magnet™ status implemented a new governance structure, including a clinical nursing council that governs clinical nursing standards and care for the organization. This is an example of which leadership style? 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 provides the vision. In democratic leadership, the leader involves the followers in decision making. The leader still makes the final decision. In autocratic leadership, the leader makes all the decisions. Correct answer  Question 2 1 / 1 pts Communication is the least important function of leadership. Task leaders will communicate the most effective ways to accomplish the work. Autocratic leaders value feedback from their followers. Leaders who have little communication with their staff are socioemotional leaders. All answers except “Task leaders will communicate the most effective ways to accomplish the work” are false because communication is the most important function of leadership. Autocratic leaders do not seek feedback from their followers, because they make all the decisions. Socioemotional leaders communicate frequently to gage followers’ feelings and emotions. Correct answer  Question 3 1 / 1 pts The leader tells the staff that they must comply with the implementation of a new program. The annual plan for the department is not changed, so the department will not have additional work. The leader communicates the vision and goals of the organization and how the departmental goals will serve these goals. The leader develops goals for the department that will promote the department at the cost of other departments’ goals. Aspects of leadership that influence change are communication, understanding the organizational culture, and considering alternate paths to achieve a goal. In telling staff that they must comply with a new program, the leader does not value communication and alternate paths to achieve a goal. The leader who develops goals for the department that will promote the department at the cost of others’ goals does not Which statement about leaders or leadership is true? A leader exhibiting the attribute of change is best portrayed by which descriptions? 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 strive to achieve the goals of the organization. Correct answer  Question 4 1 / 1 pts Always has a chief nursing officer position to lead the nursing staff Adapts to the size and needs of the healthcare system Has the same structure in any healthcare organization Uses one leadership style throughout the organization The size and complexity of the nursing leadership team depend on the size and needs of the healthcare agency. Using the same structure in any healthcare organization does not adjust for the specific needs of the healthcare agency. Using one leadership style throughout the organization does not adjust for the specific needs of the departments in the healthcare agency. Always having a chief nursing officer position to lead the nursing staff does not adjust to the specific needs of the healthcare agency. Correct answer  Question 5 1 / 1 pts Clinical leaders are needed in every setting to ensure that quality patient care is delivered and that new evidence and research findings are adopted to improve patient care. Leadership in health care is an act reserved only for designated administrators and managers. Leaders are made, not born. It is important for nurses who aspire to be leaders. “Leaders are made, not born” is true because leaders must continuously develop leadership skills. Leadership skills in every setting will improve the quality of patient care. Nursing leaders are vitally important to improve patient care at the bedside. Which is characteristic of the formal nursing leadership model? Which statement about leadership made by a new nurse requires further explanation? 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908  Question 6 1 / 1 pts EBP assists the nurse in the decision-making process. Research utilization and EBP are the same concept. EBP relies on practice and research. Evidence-based practice relies on practice and research. Before the research can be utilized it is important to see what the evidence supports prior to implementation. When a nurse is uncertain of a practice question, the evidence can be used for best practices. Research utilization is using the evidence found in the research EPB occurs after the evaluation of all available evidence. Research utilization occurs after evaluation of all available evidence. EPB is more like performing a meta-analysis than is EBP. Evidence-based practice relies on practice and research. Before the research can be utilized it is important to see what the evidence supports prior to implementation. When a nurse is uncertain of a practice question, the evidence can be used for best practices. Research utilization is using the evidence found in the research EPB occurs after the evaluation of all available evidence. Correct answer  Question 7 1 / 1 pts A student in the RN-BSN program is taking a research course. The instructor asks “What are the components of evidence-based practice (EBP)”? How should the student reply? Select all that apply Which communication term can be applied to this statement: How messages are received and interpreted would include personal states such as mood disturbance, environmental stimuli related to the setting of the communication, and contextual variables. 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 Therapeutic communication Vigor communication Internal noise Metacommunication is a term which means how messages are received and interpreted would include personal states such as mood disturbance, environment stimuli related to the setting of the communication, and contextual variable. Therapeutic communication is consciously influencing communication to help patient understand plan of care. Vigor communication is used by advertisers for products such as soaps and foods are colorful, humorous and often quite memorable. Internal noise inhibits the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages. Correct answer  Question 8 1 / 1 pts Nonverbal communication Eye contact and body movements are considered nonverbal communication. There are insufficient data to determine the level of the patient’s social skills or whether a cultural barrier exists. Messager filter Social skills A cultural barrier Correct answer A  patient does not make eye contact with the nurse and is folding his arms at his chest. Which aspect of communication has the nurse assessed? 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 1 / 1 pts The nurse and patient engage in a humorous conversation about the top ten “what not to eat when you are being treated for hypertension.” The nurse states the risk factors and statistics of patients who do not take their medications as prescribed. The nurse helps the patient identify weight loss goals that are reasonable. The nurse presents a laminated poster to the patient that depicts pictures of foods that would be on the low sodium diet. The nurse gives the patient a sheet full of information and asks the patient to read the information and let the nurse know if they have any questions. The nurse waits until the patient has been awake for a few hours before beginning the teaching plan. Effective communication has clarity and is goal-directed. Engaging techniques such as humor, visual props, and waiting for the patient to be more alert will increase the therapeutic interaction. Providing the patient with written materials is important; however, there is no way to gauge the effectiveness of the teaching and does not guarantee that the patient has read the information. It would be useful to implement the teaching plan and supplement the teaching with a handout at the end of the session to reinforce the teaching. Stating the consequences of not taking the medications is a scare tactic and may result in defensiveness or closed communication. Correct answer  Question 10 1 / 1 pts The patient has been admitted to the facility in the past. The unit is quiet. The patient is awake, alert, and oriented to person, place, and time. The patient is in a bad mood. The patient states that he or she is in pain. The nurse is having a therapeutic conversation with a patient newly diagnosed with hypertension. Which communication techniques will most likely prove effective for this patient? Select all that apply. The nurse is admitting a new patient to the psychiatric unit. Which factors will most likely contribute to a positive outcome of the interaction? Select all that apply. 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens. Leadership, Communication and Evidence: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 condition, experience and education, and external noise emanating from the environment. Noisy environments increase stress, as does pain. If the patient is in a bad mood, it may be best to address this issue prior to completing the admission because the patient will be more receptive. Previous admission does not assume it was a positive experience - it could have been a positive or negative experience. Quiz Score: 10 out of 10 1/17/26, 8:10 PM Module 1. Quiz. Giddens.

Correct answer  Question 1 1 / 1 pts Interviewing the patient in an unstructured format Conducting a structured interview with direct questions Disregard any nonverbal clues from the patient Completing an entire head-to-toe assessment first An unstructured interview format allows the nurse to establish rapport and get insight into the patient’s perspective. Combined with observation, this would yield the best information. Observation often results in gathering a depth of data that is difficult to gain by other methods. Combined with an unstructured interview to gain the patient’s trust, this technique would be very valuable. A head-to-toe assessment would not yield information about self-esteem. A structured interview is often used to gather specific information, but since this nurse has not yet had time to develop rapport, focusing questions on a sensitive issue such as self-esteem would probably not elicit accurate information. Also, structured interviews are most often used in emergency situations, and this does not qualify as an emergency. Correct answer Quiz will open with Module 2. You have one attempt with no time limit to take this quiz. Faculty recommend that you read the required material before completing the quiz. A nurse wishes to obtain data about a patient’s self-esteem. What is the best assessment technique for the nurse to use to obtain this data?Correct answer  Question 2 1 / 1 pts Journaling allows reflection, an important critical thinking skill. Journaling teaches open-mindedness, a critical thinking disposition. Journaling gives you time to review what happened in your clinical. Journaling is a way to organize your thoughts about your experiences. Critical thinking requires reflection on what occurred, how data were processed, and how decisions were made. Journaling is one method of developing critical thinking skills. Journaling does give nurses time to review what happened in their clinical, but this statement does not go far enough in explaining the importance of the journal-writing process. Journaling may be a way to organize thoughts about one’s experiences, but this statement is too narrow an explanation and does not account for the critical aspect of reflection. Open-mindedness is a critical thinking disposition that allows one to be tolerant of divergent views. Journaling can assist with developing this disposition, but only if what is written reflects that specific topic. Correct answer  Question 3 1 / 1 pts An iterative process of noticing, interpreting, and responding to the patient and how the patient responds to the nurse’s actions The mathematical calculation process by which a nurse verifies a medication dosage. An inherently complex process influenced by many factors related to the particular patient and caregiving situation. The process of a nurse using experiential knowledge to put everything together to make sense of it. Clinical reasoning is an iterative process of noticing, interpreting, and responding—reasoning in transition with a fine attunement to the patient and how the patient responds to the nurse’s actions. Process orientation utilizes experimental knowledge. The holistic view is influenced by complex factors surrounding the patient and caregiving situation. A dosage calculation is a knowledge-based skill. Correct answer  Question 4 1 / 1 pts A nursing instructor assigns the clinical group the task of writing a journal depicting the student’s clinical day. What is the most likely rationale for this assignment? Which statement best describes clinical reasoning? An interpretivist nurse is caring for a patient in the hospital setting. Which factors will the interpretivistWhat the nurse personally brings to the caring encounter Context of care The nurse’s previous experiences, values, and emotions Information from significant others and friends The information from the chart Interpretivist approaches situate the nurse squarely in the context of care and account for what the nurse personally brings to the caring encounter, including previous experiences, values, and emotions. The information from the chart and from others is gathered in the steps of the nursing process. Correct answer  Question 5 1 / 1 pts Clinical reasoning is limited to assessing, evaluating, and treating the nursing diagnosis. Clinical reasoning involves assessing, diagnosing, and planning and using interventions based on assessments. Clinical reasoning is an iterative process of noticing, interpreting, and responding—reasoning in transition with a fine attunement to the patient and how the patient responds to the nurse’s actions. Clinical reasoning is the thinking process by which a nurse reaches a clinical judgment. Clinical reasoning involves reflecting on interventions and reevaluating the plan of care based on the results of reflection. Clinical reasoning is an iterative process of noticing, interpreting, and responding—reasoning in transition with a fine attunement to the patient and how the patient responds to the nurse’s actions. The nursing process is limited to assessment, diagnosis, planning, and developing interventions based on assessments. Correct answer  Question 6 1 / 1 pts Clinical reasoning is the thinking process by which a nurse reaches a clinical judgment. Clinical judgment requires the nurse to apply knowledge to the unique patient situation to make sense of it and respond appropriately in the specific context. consider when caring for this patient? (Select all that apply.) A new graduate nurse is working with a nurse who has been out of school for 10 years. The experienced nurse states, “I don’t see the difference between this clinical reasoning and the nursing process.” Which statements by the graduate nurse are appropriate? (Select all that apply.) A nursing instructor is explaining how clinical judgment is different than clinical reasoning and critical thinking. Which statements should the instructor include in the explanation? (Select all that apply.)respond appropriately in the specific context. Clinical judgment is an iterative process of noticing, interpreting, and responding. Clinical judgment is the interpretation or conclusion about a patient’s needs, concerns, or health problems, and/or the decision whether or not to take action. Critical thinking is a cognitive process that is knowledge based and used for analysis of an issue or problem but is not situated or specific to a given patient. Clinical judgment is the interpretation or conclusion about a patient’s needs, concerns, or health problems, and/or the decision whether or not to take action. It requires the nurse to apply knowledge to the unique patient situation to make sense of it and respond appropriately in the specific context. Critical thinking is a cognitive process that is knowledge based and used for analysis of an issue or problem but is not situated or specific to a given patient and clinical reasoning is the thinking process by which a nurse reaches a clinical judgment. Correct answer  Question 7 1 / 1 pts “Patients have needs beyond the healthcare system.” “Physicians are the only ones who coordinate care.” “Community health nurses coordinate care for the patient.” “Patients should coordinate their own care.” Many patients do have needs that go beyond what the healthcare system can offer, such as financial or social assistance. Patients do not have the healthcare knowledge to coordinate their care. Physicians and community health nurses are not the only ones involved in the coordination of health care. Correct answer  Question 8 1 / 1 pts Transactional Care Healthcare doctrine Transitional Care Multi Level Care A nurse and a student nurse are talking about healthcare coordination. Which statement should the nurse make about the subject? The coordination and continuity of health care transferred between different locations or different levels of care within the same location is known as which type of care coordination?Transitional care transfers between different locations, as described in the chapter. Healthcare doctrine, transactional care, and multilevel care do not fit the definition of coordination and continuity of care.  Question 9 0.5 / 1 pts Authority for managing services Involving one or more services Poorly funded social programs Too many nurses Too many community resources Correct answer  Question 10 1 / 1 pts “Care coordination increases confusion about who is responsible for the patient.” “Patients like to be cared for by more than one service agency.” “Every patient will need coordinated care services at some time in life.” “Community services are lacking, and care coordination helps to fill the void.” Care coordination is more prominent in healthcare design today because patients will need coordination of services to promote optimal healthcare outcomes. Community services are not always lacking but may be restricted by financial resources. Care coordination should not increase confusion but should rather lessen it. Patients are usually knowledgeable about the service agencies that are available to care for them. Quiz Score: 9.5 out of 10 Coordination of healthcare services is complicated by which of the following? Select all that apply. A student nurse asks why care coordination is now a top priority for health system redesign. What is the nursing instructor’s best response?Module 3. Quiz. Giddens.

Correct answer  Question 1 1 / 1 pts The nurse must explain the procedure to the patient before obtaining consent. The consent includes information about the risks and benefits of the procedure. The patient must have the capacity to give consent. The quiz will be available with Module 3. You have one attempt with no time limit to take this quiz. Faculty recommend that you read the required material before completing the quiz. Which statement by a new nurse about valid consent indicates a need for further teaching?  Quiz submitted  1/31/26, 7:04 PM Module 3. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Law: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 The person presenting the informed consent document must be the provider performing the procedure. To be valid, information for consent must be given by the provider who will be performing the procedure and includes information about the risks and benefits of the procedure. The patient must voluntarily give consent. Correct answer  Question 2 1 / 1 pts A patient is informed of all known side effects of a medication and voluntarily takes the medication. The patient experiences an adverse effect from a medication prescribed by a physician. A nurse follows the standard of care for initiating an intravenous line, but the patient’s vein bursts, causing a hematoma and the need for minor surgery to evacuate the fluid. The operating room nurse does not complete the postprocedure count process, and the patient develops an infection from a retained abdominal sponge. The Department of Justice fines an organization for releasing protected health information to a pharmaceutical company without individual patient consent. For tort liability to attach, four elements must be satisfied: duty, breach, causation, and harm. An operating room nurse has a duty to perform a postprocedure count process, not doing so is a breach of duty and the retained sponge caused harm to the patient. An adverse effect experienced by a patient who was informed of all known side effects of a medication, is prescribed the medication, and voluntarily takes the medication is an adverse event, not a tort liability. When a nurse follows the standard of care for initiating an intravenous line, but the patient’s vein bursts, this is an adverse event and not a tort liability. Releasing protected health information to a pharmaceutical company without individual patient consent is regulated by federal law enforcement; it is considered employer liability and may be considered to be criminal if proven to be purposeful and egregious. Correct answer  Question 3 1 / 1 pts Which is an example of a medical malpractice? Which is an example of a nurse protecting a patient’s right to consent to a procedure?  Quiz submitted 1/31/26, 7:04 PM Module 3. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Law: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 When the nurse finds that the informed consent document is not yet complete, she holds the patient’s pre-procedure narcotics until the physician can obtain patient consent. The nurse finds that the consent form is unsigned in the chart and waits until after the procedure to get the document signed. Knowing the patient is not competent to sign a consent form, the nurse asks the friend who came with the patient to sign it. To be valid, information for consent must be given prior to the procedure by the provider who will be performing the procedure and the information given must include a description of the procedure, a description of the risks and benefits of the procedure, and a discussion of any alternatives to the proposed procedure. Consent by the patient must be voluntarily given, and the person who consents must have the capacity to consent. Capacity can be determined by the healthcare provider and may be affected by drugs or the current or underlying medical condition. If the patient is unable to give consent directly, he or she may designate a person who can give consent on his or her behalf. If such a person is not designated by the patient, most states provide a statutory solution or a law that lists “statutory surrogates.” Correct answer  Question 4 1 / 1 pts The Joint Commission standards have the same effect as law, and organizations can be fined by The Joint Commission for noncompliance. The Joint Commission regulations have no effect on the legal process in health care. The Joint Commission serves as an advisor to the federal government in establishing fines related to noncompliance. The Joint Commission regulations may be seen as having the effect of law because they accredit organizations to bill Medicare and the standards are frequently used in malpractice cases. The Joint Commission standards do not have the same effect as law; however, they are often utilized as best practice standards in a malpractice case against which negligence is measured. The Joint Commission does not establish fines for noncompliance. Correct answer  Which statement is true regarding The Joint Commission’s authority relating to healthcare organizations?  Quiz submitted 1/31/26, 7:04 PM Module 3. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Law: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 2 / 2 pts The hospital emergency room physician suspects that a patient is not competent in making decisions for his post-care treatment. The physician does not complete a competency evaluation prior to transfer for a non-emergent treatment and allows the patient with suspected incompetence to sign the consent for transfer. After providing a medical screening examination, the patient’s attending physician determines that transfer for a psychiatric service is necessary and not provided by the hospital. The attending seeks consent from the competent surrogate decision maker for the patient prior to transfer. The patient’s attending physician determines the patient to be in stable condition after completing the medical screening examination and stabilizing the patient. The patient’s condition would deteriorate without a life-saving procedure not available at the hospital. The physician explains the risks of staying at the hospital and the risks of the transfer to the patient’s power of attorney. Informed consent is received from the patient’s power of attorney for the transfer. The hospital does not contract with the patient’s insurance company. The emergency room physician completes a medical screening examination and stabilizes the patient for discharge. The patient financial services department informs the patient of insurance status after discharge and arranges for payment options. The physician who allows the patient with suspected incompetence to sign the consent for transfer did not complete the medical screening examination. EMTALA required that any hospital that operated an emergency department and received Medicare funds provide an appropriate screening examination to anyone who presented and stabilize any emergency medical condition prior to transfer to another facility. Correct answer  Question 6 1 / 1 pts The nurse threatening to touch the client in an offensive manner without the client's permission Touching a client without permission Which would be a violation of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986?

Health Care Law: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 An educational review using the PDSA cycle Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to analyze serious adverse events. A central tenet of RCA is to identify underlying problems that increase the likelihood of errors while avoiding the trap of focusing on mistakes by individuals. RCA thus uses the systems approach to identify both active errors (errors occurring at the point of interface between humans and a complex system) and latent errors (the hidden problems within health care systems that contribute to adverse events). The goal of this process is to prevent error in the future. Quiz Score: 10 out of 10  Quiz submitted 1/31/26, 7:04 PM Module 3. Quiz. Giddens.

Correct answer  Question 2 1 / 1 pts Ongoing education Clinical checklist Licensure examination A graduate degree To enter the nursing profession, an individual must have successfully completed a state board-credentialed education program (a minimum educational requirement) and passed a common licensure examination. Clinical checklists may be helpful but are not a required component of an educational program. There are a variety of educational programs that prepare individuals for the role of professional nurse, ranging from associate to doctoral degrees. A graduate degree is not a requirement. Ongoing education and clinical competence are expectations for continued practice but are not required for entry into the profession. Correct answer  Question 3 1 / 1 pts The employing agency People with health problems What criterion must be successfully completed to enter the nursing profession?

Professional Identity/Professionalism: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 The public Each state protects the health of the public by regulating nursing practice. Standards of nursing practice provide the framework for nurses. An employing agency (e.g., hospital, clinic, or home care agency) is responsible for ensuring that employees are qualified. More people than just those with health problems are protected by the laws. (Adapted from Nugent PM, Green JS, Hellmer Saul MA, Pelikan PM. Mosby’s comprehensive review of nursing for the NCLEX-RN examination, 20th ed. St Louis, 2012, Mosby.) Correct answer  Question 4 1 / 1 pts Satisfied physical therapists and occupational therapists Social service referrals for home care Compliance with physicians Positive outcomes and patient satisfaction Positive outcomes and patient satisfaction are goals of the professional nurse in the team leader role. Strong nursing leaders are in the best position to influence patient care and policy. A professional nurse would collaborate effectively with all team members; compliance connotes the inappropriate “handmaiden” role of a nurse. Satisfied health team members could improve outcomes, but that would not be the primary goal. Home care is not necessarily needed by all patients.

Correct answer  Question 1 1 / 1 pts Utilization review Health policy development Evidence-based research Quality improvement Quality improvement is an ongoing effort to provide health care that is safe and timely, resulting in patient improvement; exploring the medication process to decrease errors is an example of quality improvement. Evidence-based practice guides the development of care standards. Utilization review assesses the reasons for admission and use of treatments. Health policy is developed at a state or federal government level, not at an institutional level. Correct answer  The quiz will be available with Module 5. There is no time limit for this quiz. Faculty recommend that you complete the module readings before beginning. A nurse manager in an outpatient clinic notices that a significant increase in medication errors has occurred over the past 3 months. The manager develops a project to track medication administration from the initiation of the patient chart through the documentation of medication administration. This project is an example of what type of process? 2/10/26, 1:24 PM Module 5. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Policy; Safety: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 1 / 1 pts Safe patient care Effective resource utilization Patient satisfaction Patient care outcome Although all of the selections are variables that affect quality, gathering data from residents and their families focuses on the patient perception of care. Correct answer  Question 3 1 / 1 pts Near-miss event Malpractice event Adverse event Sentinel event A sentinel event is an unexpected incident, often resulting from an error in care, which leads to serious patient harm or death. A near-miss event is an error that could have caused harm but did not. An adverse event results in moderate to severe harm to a patient, often related to drug events. Malpractice is a legal term describing a lapse from the standard of care. Correct answer  Question 4 1 / 1 pts Levy monetary fines for the hospital for violations of safety standards. Designate how many staff members are needed to provide care for the population being served. Determine which support services, such as laboratory services, must be offered by the hospital. Identify additional healthcare services that must be offered by the facility. A nurse manager of a long-term care facility completes a survey of each resident and his or her family about their feelings regarding the care the resident is receiving. Which component of quality care does this represent? A woman admitted for preterm labor dies 8 hours after admission from acute respiratory failure. The hospital review board investigates this as what type of event? A hospital is expecting a scheduled visit from a regulatory agency. Hospital administrators understand that if regulatory agency identifies significant safety concerns, the regulatory has the authority to take which action? 2/10/26, 1:24 PM Module 5. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Policy; Safety: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 of agencies that are in violation of care standards. Individual agencies develop their individual vision and mission, which then determine the populations they will serve and the way in which they will provide services according to national standards. Determining staffing needs and support services to provide care is an internal agency responsibility, measured by patient outcomes. External agencies are not responsible for identifying the populations to be served by an agency. Correct answer  Question 5 1 / 1 pts Implementation of highly specialized monitoring equipment Implementation of an electronic care provider order entry system Performance of chart reviews to measure compliance with catheterization protocols Implementation of an automated medication system Implementation of staff training for new intravenous pumps Instituting measures to reduce errors and collect data on care provided serves to improve patient care processes; using technology to check for errors and train staff on any new equipment or supplies will reduce errors and increase patient safety. Errors are more likely to occur with complex equipment or when detailed instructions are needed. Chart reviews are a form of monitoring for compliance with standards of care and utilization review. Correct answer  Question 6 1 / 1 pts Diagnostic Error Communication error Preventive error Treatment error The nurse avoided a treatment error; she was prevented from giving the wrong type of medication. Diazepam (Valium) for intravenous administration is clear and comes prepared in a vial labeled for intravenous administration. According to Leape, treatment errors occur in the performance of an A nurse manager is implementing measures to improve patient safety. Which of the measures could be implemented to meet this outcome? Select all that apply. A student nurse receives an order for diazepam to be given intravenously. Diazepam tablets are available. The student nurse crushes a tablet and mixes it with sterile water for injection. The instructor notes that the solution is cloudy and asks to see the medication vial. When the student produces the vial of sterile water for injection, the instructor stops the medication from being given. What type of error is prevented? 2/10/26, 1:24 PM Module 5. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Policy; Safety: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 drug; or in an avoidable delay in treatment or in responding to an abnormal test. A communication error results from a failure to communicate. Diagnostic errors are the result of a delay in diagnosis, a failure to employ indicated tests, the use of outmoded tests, or a failure to act on results of monitoring or testing. Preventive errors occur when there is a failure to provide prophylactic treatment when monitoring is inadequate, or when follow-up of treatment is inadequate. Correct answer  Question 7 1 / 1 pts Near misses in health care are used to improve care. Details need to be shared in order to locate the individual at fault. The problem must be communicated to the patient. Established protocols for discipline will be followed. In an agency with a culture of safety, a nurse knows that near misses are used to improve care. Individual people are not punished for flawed systems, and there are no protocols for discipline. Consequences are individualized to improve the system and minimize the opportunity for future problems. Telling the patient is part of the transparency and the sharing and disclosure among stakeholders but is generally the responsibility of the risk management staff, not the staff nurse. Through a strategy such as root cause analysis, the reasons for errors in medication administration can be identified and strategies developed to minimize future occurrences, not to point a finger at a certain person. Correct answer  Question 8 1 / 1 pts Attitude Value Accountability Education The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded the national initiative called Quality and Safety for Nurses (QSEN), which builds on the work of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), defines safety, and outlines the necessary elements of knowledge, skill, and attitude to demonstrate safety in one’s practice. Accountability is a critical aspect of a culture of safety; recognizing and acknowledging one’s actions is a When an error or patient safety issue is identified in an agency with a culture of safety, what does the individual who reports the problem know? The three elements of nursing competency described in the Quality and Safety for Nurses (QSEN) initiative are knowledge, skill, and which other element? 2/10/26, 1:24 PM Module 5. Quiz. Giddens. Health Care Policy; Safety: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 of QSEN. Correct answer  Question 9 1 / 1 pts Diagnostic Workup Fall Prevention Care Coordination Communication The most common safety issues at the blunt end include documentation/electronic records, team systems, environmental systems, error reporting/analysis systems, and regulatory systems. Each of the other options is classified as a point-of-care, sharp-end exemplar. Correct answer  Question 10 1 / 1 pts Cognition Teamwork Communication Quality Regulation Communication, quality, regulation, and teamwork are the concepts with the strongest links to safety and include processes that are essential for the nurse to consider related to safety. Safety refers to the prevention of injuries or freedom from accidents. Quality and safety are interrelated, overlapping concepts, and it is difficult to achieve outcomes in one without working on the other. Regulation refers to the mandates that have been credited with many of the improvements in health care systems, such as those from the Joint Commission, and to the oversight for the safety of the public provided by state boards of nursing. Teamwork and the ability of healthcare professionals to work together account for as much as 70% of healthcare errors. Cognition dependent on an optimally functioning brain could affect vigilance but would not be considered a concept that has one of the strongest links to safety. Quiz Score: 10 out of 10 To promote safety, the nurse manager sensitive to point-of-care (sharp-end) and systems-level (bluntend) exemplars works closely with administrators to address which organizational system exemplar?

Correct answer  Question 1 2 / 2 pts “We are not developing equipment and technology fast enough to keep medical costs down.” “There are a decreasing number of patients needing long-term health care, so there are fewer healthcare providers.” “Many patients are only using nonprescription medications, so the cost of other cares has gone up.” “Patients without healthcare coverage use emergency departments, where it is more expensive to provide care.” The quiz will be available with Module 6. You have one attempt with no time limit to take this quiz. Faculty recommend that you read the required material before completing the quiz. A nurse is answering questions about health care at a community health fair. An elderly visitor asks why health care is so expensive. Which is the best response by the nurse? 2/17/26, 3:19 PM Module 6. Quiz. Giddens. HealthCare Policy: 202620 Pro Nursing Health Concepts II NUR-2804C-25908 population ages, there is an increase in patients needing long-term health care because of increased chronic illnesses. Technology development tends to decrease the cost of health care because it increases efficiency and decreases labor needs. Patients use nonprescription medications but also use complementary and alternative treatments that are frequently not covered by payment plans and do not raise health costs by themselves. Correct answer  Question 2 2 / 2 pts Practice is determined by state regulatory boards. Practice is determined by federal health organizations. Practice is determined by institutional policies and procedures. Practice is determined by the Institute of Medicine. States create laws that establish professional practice acts that regulate nursing practice. Institutional policies govern actions in the workplace but must comply with state regulations. Federal health organizations set overall health policies but not specific nursing practice standards. The Institute of Medicine is an advisory board that makes recommendations about the delivery of health care and where resources might be focused to improve overall health. Correct answer  Question 3 2 / 2 pts Implementing a home meal plan for preschool children Identifying increased malnutrition in preschool children Evaluating daycare meal plans Several high school students are attending a job fair hosted by a local hospital.
