◦ 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?
◦ Attending to holistic client needs
◦ Ensuring client safety
◦ Not making medication errors
◦ Providing client-
focused care
ANS: B
◦ All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However,
ensuring client safety is the priority. Up to 98,000 deaths result each year from errors
in hospital care, according to the 2000 Institute of Medicine report. Many more clients

, have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has the responsibility to

◦ Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
◦ Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.

◦ Tell the client to always wear his or
her armband. ANS: A
◦ Each action could be important for the client or family to perform.

◦
◦ very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that
being active and involved does.
