Question 4 of 5
The clinic nurse has just accessed a client's chart on the computer. The resident comes over and asks her to stay logged on because he needs to add a note to that client's chart. She should say:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I'm sorry, but you will have to enter the information using your own password." This response is appropriate because it upholds the principles of confidentiality and accountability in healthcare. By requiring the resident to enter the information using their own password, the nurse ensures that any actions taken in the client's chart are traceable to the responsible individual. This helps maintain the integrity of the client's medical record and protects the client's privacy.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they involve the nurse either allowing the resident to use her login credentials or inputting information on his behalf. This breaches confidentiality and accountability protocols, as it would be unclear who made the entry and could lead to potential errors or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Therefore, option B is the most appropriate response in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
As a manager, you are interested in developing behavioral questions for an interview. Knowing that there is team conflict at times on your unit, which of the following questions would satisfy your interest in behavioral questions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it asks the candidate to provide a specific example of their experience with conflict resolution in a project setting, which demonstrates their actual behavior in a real-life situation. This question allows the interviewer to assess the candidate's ability to handle team conflict effectively based on past experiences.
Choice A is incorrect because it is too general and does not require a specific example of past behavior.
Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on the candidate's preferred style rather than their actual behavior.
Choices D, E, F, and G are all incomplete and do not provide a behavioral scenario for evaluation.
