FCCA 274C Exam

1) A patient recovering from a motor vehicle accident is scheduled for transfer to an extended care facility. The patient states to the RN “I’m a little bit nervous about this transfer.” Which intervention by the RN will foster a smooth transition to the next level of care? Explore the option of family accompanying the patient during transport. Inform the patient that anxiety about a new facility is normal and everything will be fine. Encourage the patient to perform relaxation techniques taught by the social worker. Collaborate with the health care provider about an anti-anxiety medication for the patient. 2) The RN contacts the health care provider to report a change in a patient’s condition. Which is an appropriate introduction to the patient report by the RN? “I am calling because Mr. Smith in room 21 doesn’t look good.” “This is Ann the nurse caring for Mr. Smith. Sorry to bother you.” “I am the RN caring for Mr. Smith whose condition has deteriorated.” “This is Ann Jones, RN at ECHO Hospital, calling about Mr. Smith.”
