Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager understands that the second step in handling an employee with a disciplinary problem is to document the incident. Which of the following features IS NOT descriptive of effective documentation of personnel problems?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Waiting until the end of the work week to document problems is not effective for several reasons. First, it may lead to inaccurate or incomplete documentation due to memory lapses. Second, immediate documentation is crucial for addressing issues promptly. Third, delayed documentation may hinder timely intervention and resolution of conflicts.
Therefore, this option is not descriptive of effective documentation practices.
Summary:
B: Keeping a log of errors, incidents, and accidents is effective for tracking patterns and identifying trends.
C: Advising the recipient to keep personal notes can provide additional perspectives but should not replace official documentation.
D: Including date, time, and a brief description in documentation is essential for clarity and accuracy.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
A recent nursing graduate in a busy Emergency Department triages a patient who has sustained a large, deep puncture wound in his foot while working at a construction site. He is bleeding and is in pain. The nurse enters the triage data that she has obtained from the patient into a computerized, standard emergency patient-classification system. After she enters the assessment data, she notices an alert on the computer screen that prompts her to ask the patient about the status of his tetanus immunization. What system of technology is involved in generating the alert?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clinical decision support. In this scenario, the nurse entered the patient's assessment data into a computerized emergency patient-classification system. The alert generated on the screen prompting her to ask about the patient's tetanus immunization status is an example of clinical decision support system technology. This system uses algorithms and guidelines to assist healthcare providers in making clinical decisions. In this case, the alert is triggered based on the type of injury (puncture wound) and the potential need for tetanus immunization due to the nature of the injury.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Computerized provider order - This system is used for ordering medications, tests, and procedures, not for generating alerts related to patient assessment.
B: Electronic health record - While an EHR stores patient data, it does not actively prompt the nurse to inquire about specific information like tetanus immunization status.
D: WL technology - This term does not relate to the situation described and is not a recognized healthcare
Question 4 of 5
A nurse manager is planning to request three new infusion pumps at a cost of approximately $1500 each. This item would typically be included in which budget?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Capital budget. Infusion pumps are considered capital expenditures as they are long-term investments in assets that provide future benefits. Capital budget includes expenses for acquiring or improving long-term assets like equipment. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Strategic budget focuses on long-term goals and plans, not specific items like infusion pumps.
C) Unit of service budget is for costs related to providing specific services, not for capital investments.
D) Operating budget covers day-to-day expenses, not long-term investments like infusion pumps.
Question 5 of 5
As the head nurse involved in selecting which patient surveillance systems to acquire for your unit, one of your aims is to avoid adverse events through the implementation of appropriate technology. This particular aim recognizes that:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because physiologic monitoring systems enable the detection of early changes before an adverse event occurs. This is crucial in preventing adverse events as these systems can alert healthcare providers to potential issues, allowing for prompt intervention.
Choice A is incorrect as while human error can contribute to adverse events, the question specifically asks about the role of technology.
Choices B and C are also incorrect as they refer to documentation systems, not surveillance systems for patient monitoring. In summary, physiologic monitoring systems are essential in early detection, while the other choices are not directly related to preventing adverse events through technology.
