1. Management of care
a. Establishing priorities
i. Client Education: Discharge Planning for Client who had diabetes mellitus
(Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 17) Teaching is
a goal- driven and interactive. It involves purposeful actions to help individuals
acquire knowledge, modify attitudes and behavior, and learn new skills.
Learning is the intentional gain of new information, attitudes, or skills, and it
promotes behavioral change. Motivation influences how much how quickly a
person learns. The desire to learn and the ability to learn and understand the
content affect motivation. Information technology increases access to and
delivery of knowledge.
b. Informed consent
i. Legal Responsibilities: Completing an Informed Consent Document (Active
Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 4) understanding the
laws governing nursing practice helps nurses protect clients’ rights and reduce
the risk of nursing liability. Nurses are accountable for practicing nursing
within the confines of the law to shield themselves from liability; advocate for
clients’ right; provide care that is within the nurse’s scope of practice; discern
the responsibilities of nursing in relationship to the responsibilities of other
members of the health care team; and provide safe, proficient care consistent
with standards of care.
1. Informed consent: the nurse’s role in the informed consent process is to
witness the client’s signature on the informed consent form and to
ensure that the provider has obtained the informed consent
responsibly.
2. Safety and Infection Control
a. Accident/Error/Injury Prevention
i. Medical and Surgical Asepsis: Planning Care for a Client who has a latex allergy
(Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 10) Asepsis is
the absence of illness-producing micro-organisms. Hand Hygiene is the primary
behavior. Medical asepsis refers to the use of precise practices to reduce the
number, growth, and spread of micro-organisms (“clean technique”). It applies
to administering oral medication, managing nasogastric tubes, providing
personal hygiene, and performing many other common nursing tasks. Surgical
asepsis refers to the use of precise practices to eliminate all micro-organisms
from an object or area and prevent contamination (“sterile technique”). It
applies to parenteral medication administration, insertion of urinary catheters,
surgical procedures, sterile dressing changes, and many other common nursing
procedures. Before beginning any task or procedure that requires aseptic
technique, health care team members must check for latex allergies. If the
client or any member of the team has a latex allergy, the team must use latex-
free gloves, equipment, and supplies.

function, growth and development, and physical activity. Water, the most basic
of all nutrients, is crucial for all body fluid and cellular functions. The proper
balance of nutrients and fluid along with consideration of energy intake and
requirements is essential for ensuring adequate nutritional status. Early
recognition and treatment of clients who are malnourished or at risk can have a
positive influence on client outcomes. A nutritional assessment helps identify
areas to modify, either through adding or avoiding specific nutrients or by
increasing or decreasing caloric intake. When planning a nutritional or hydration
intervention, it is important to consider beliefs and culture, the environment,
and the presentation of the food, as well as any illnesses or allergies client
might have.
iii. Client Safety: Nursing Action when a client falls (Active Learning Template –
Nursing Skill, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 12) Safety is freedom from injury. Providing
for safety and preventing injury are major nursing responsibilities. Many factors
affect the client’s ability to protect himself. Those factors include the client’s
age, with the young and old at greater risk; mobility; cognitive and sensory
awareness; emotional state; ability to communicate; and lifestyle and safety
awareness. It is the provider’s responsibility to assess, report, and document
clients’ allergies and to provide care that avoids exposure to allergens.
b. Ergonomic Principles
i. Ergonomic Principles: Teaching a caregiver how to avoid injury when
repositioning a client (Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND
RN
9.0 Ch 14) Ergonomics is a science that focuses on the factors or qualities in an
objects design or use that contribute to comfort, safety, efficiency, and ease of
use. Using good body mechanics when positioning and moving clients promotes
safety for the client and the staff. Before attempting to position or move a
client, perform a mobility assessment. Begin with the easiest movements
(range of motion) and progress as long as the client tolerates it (balance, gait,
exercise)
c. Home safety
i. Home Safety: Teaching an older adult client about home safety (Active
Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 13) In addition to
taking measures to prevent injury of clients in a health care setting, nurses
play a pivotal role in promoting safety in the client’s home and community.
Nurses often collaborate with the client, family, and members of the
interprofessional team (Social workers, occupational therapists, and physical
therapists) to promote the safety of the client. To initiate a plan of care, the
nurse must identify risk factors using a risk assessment tool and complete a
nursing history, physical examination and home hazard appraisal. In the plan
of care for safety preparedness, the nurse should include emergency nursing
principles, such as basic first aid and CPR.
d. Reporting of Incident/Event/Irregular Occurrence/Variance
i. Information Technology: Action When a Visitor Reports a Fall (Active Learning
Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND RN 9.0 Ch 5) The chart or medical record
is the legal record, of care. The medical record is a confidential, permanent,
