Question 1 of 5
A nurse is instructing a newly licensed nurse about the scope and standards of nursing practice. Which of the following characteristics best describes standards of practice?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standards of practice outline skills and responsibilities expected of all nurses, regardless of role, encompassing clinical and professional competencies. Ethical expectations, specific protocols, or accreditation criteria are distinct from these standards.

You are supervising a new graduate LPN who is ordered to perform tracheostomy care. The LPN states that she has performed this procedure only a handful of times, and completes the task slowly. Which of the following actions made by you is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Observing the LPN ensures patient safety while providing a learning opportunity. Performing the task yourself limits skill development, encouraging solo performance risks safety, and prohibiting the task hinders growth.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose informed consent form has been signed in preparation for a procedure. The client states, 'I have decided not to have the procedure.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client’s autonomy to withdraw consent must be respected. Informing the provider ensures the procedure is halted. Explaining risks, discussing alternatives, or reminding about the signed consent do not prioritize the client’s decision.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Creating a wish list is a form of assessment or data collection, gathering input to understand staff needs and preferences. This precedes generating hypotheses, planning, or interpreting data in the decision-making process.

A charge nurse is providing an in-service to a group of staff members on incivility. Which of the following situations should the nurse include as an example of lateral violence?
