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 compe-
tence. 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.

3. 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.

4. 1. A nurse is orienting a new client and family to the inpatient unit. What
information does the nurse provide to help the client promote his or her own
safety?
a. Encourage the client and family to be active partners.
b. Have the client monitor hand hygiene in caregivers.
c. Offer the family the opportunity to stay with the client.
d. Tell the client to always wear his or her armband.: CORRECT ANSWER: A
Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encour-
aging 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.

6. 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
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 guard the
clients safety.
