Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is supervising a new graduate who is caring for a patient who has fallen days ago. Which of the following interventions made by the new graduate REQUIRES CORRECTION by the supervising nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The new graduate places all side rails up. This requires correction because using all side rails can restrict the patient's movement and increase the risk of falls. The correct approach is to use only the necessary side rails based on the patient's needs to maintain safety without unnecessary restrictions. Placing all side rails up can also hinder the patient's ability to easily get in and out of bed, potentially impeding their mobility and independence.
Therefore, it is important for the supervising nurse to correct this action to ensure patient safety and well-being.
