Question 1 of 5
As part of Magnet Recognition, you are asked to present your evidence-based practice poster at a national conference. The health care facility supports your participation. Where would information about your participation in the conference need to be communicated? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. By communicating your participation to all staff nurses, you can inspire them to engage in evidence-based practice. This fosters a culture of learning and innovation.
Choice B is incorrect because the conference is external and not held within the health care facility.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a recommendation for avoiding charges of negligence and false imprisonment for confused clients?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Carefully assessing and documenting client status is crucial to avoid charges of negligence and false imprisonment. By assessing and documenting client status, healthcare providers can ensure they are meeting the client's needs and providing appropriate care. This helps in demonstrating that the healthcare provider acted responsibly.
Option B is incorrect because ensuring all patient information is logged out and the nurse has signed out of the computer before leaving the computer station relates more to patient privacy and data security, rather than avoiding charges of negligence and false imprisonment. Option C, keeping careful notes while providing care, is important for accurate documentation but does not directly address the risk of negligence or false imprisonment. Option D, discussing safety needs with clients, is important but does not specifically address the legal aspects of negligence and false imprisonment.

Choice C is incorrect because decreasing potassium intake is not recommended for heart failure management unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider.
Choice D is incorrect as it mentions a positive dietary change, but does not address the key issue of sodium intake, which is essential for managing heart failure.
Question 5 of 5
Although technology has seen many advances, which two ethical principles may be in conflict because of technology?
Correct Answer: B

Technology can sometimes create a conflict between these two principles when the benefits of a technology may come with potential risks or harm.

Choice D: Beneficence and confidentiality can be in conflict in certain situations, but the conflict between beneficence and nonmaleficence is more common in the context of technology.
