1. A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all 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
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Competency in client-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.

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 is best?
a. Call the Rapid Response Team.
b. Document and continue to monitor.
c. Notify the primary care provider.
d. Repeat blood pressure measurement in 15 minutes.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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 the client.

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 his or her armband.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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 in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being
active and involved does.

NOT: Client Needs Category: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and
Infection Control
