Question 4 of 5

The nurse uses prioritization to determine all the following except:

A. time allotment for certain tasks.B. appropriate interventions.C. treatment procedures.D. the need for client education.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Treatment procedures are standards of care as defined by the facility or nursing unit. If a treatment is indicated, the nurse is obligated to follow the established procedure to be compliant with practice standards. Established priorities contribute to the determination of time management, appropriate interventions, and the need for client education as a potential intervention.

Question 5 of 5

To provide optimal continuity of care, the nurse should do all of the following except:

A. document current functional status.B. have the physician phone a report to the receiving facility.C. copy appropriate parts of the medical record for transport to the receiving facility.D. phone a report to the facility.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: It is the nurse's responsibility to communicate the client's condition and care plan to the receiving facility to support continuity of care. Documentation of the client's baseline functional status is important for the receiving facility to work with in further goal setting. A copy of select portions of the medical record (according to facility policy) is another form of communication and supports continuity. A physician might be asked to be involved if there are specific medical needs or orders that she believe are important, but is generally not involved.
