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.

1. 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.

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.

1. 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 professional nurse?
a. Attending to holistic client needs
b. Ensuring client safety
c. Not making medication errors
d. Providing client-focused care
CORRECT ANSWER: B

Medicine report. Many more clients have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has
the responsibility to guard the clients safety.
