health care surrogate will make
decisions for the client and should be
very familiar with the client’s wishes.
- Living wills can be difficult to
interpret, especially in the face of
unexpected circumstances. A durable
power of attorney for health care, as
an adjunct to a living will, can be a
more effective way of ensuring that
the client’s decisions about health care
are honored.
Legal responsibilities: client advocacy - Understanding the laws governing
nursing practice helps nurses protect
clients’ rights and reduce the risk of
nursing liability.

reassignment of a client or lateral manner with regard to
members of the health care team.

same.
Bulimia Nervosa - Pt demonstrates high interest in
preparing food, but not eating.

mutual respect and collaborative
practice.
- Collaboration occurs among different
levels of nurses and nurses with
different areas of expertise.
- Collaboration should also occur
between the interprofessional team,
the client, and the client’s
family/significant others when an
interprofessional plan of care is being
developed.
Managing client care: initial assessment - Give priority to clients who have a
reasonable chance of survival with
prompt intervention. Clients who have
a limited likelihood of survival even
with intense intervention are assigned
the lowest priority.
- Use this framework for situations in
which health resources are extremely
limited (mass casualty, disaster triage).
- Look first for a safety risk. For
example, is there a finding that
suggests a risk for airway obstruction,
hypoxia, bleeding, infection, or
injury?
Recommendations for time management - Nurses must continuously set and reset
priorities in order to meet the needs of
multiple clients and to maintain client
safety.
- Priority setting requires that decisions
be made regarding the order in which;
- Clients are seen.
- Assessments are completed.
- Interventions are provided.
- Steps in a client procedure are
completed.
- Components of client care are
completed.
