Extract:
Question 1 of 5
In an ICU, you order new devices to measure heart rhythm and rate, respiratory rate, oxygen levels, and intracranial pressure. These devices describe:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: biomedical technology. Biomedical technology refers to the use of devices and equipment to monitor and assess physiological parameters in healthcare settings. In this scenario, the devices ordered to measure heart rhythm, respiratory rate, oxygen levels, and intracranial pressure are all examples of biomedical technology. These devices are specifically designed to assist in the monitoring and management of critical care patients, making C the most appropriate choice.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the purpose or function of the devices mentioned in the question.
Question 2 of 5
During a performance appraisal, Joanne, the nurse manager, indicates that Alysha has difficulty mentoring students on the unit. Alysha responds that this is not her responsibility. In responding to Alysha, Joanne needs to consider:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Rationale: Answer D is correct because Joanne needs to consider if mentoring is part of Alysha's job responsibilities as outlined in her position description. If it is, then Alysha is accountable for mentoring students. If mentoring is not listed in her job duties, then Joanne may need to reassess the situation and clarify expectations with Alysha.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: The potential biases of students are irrelevant to the issue of whether mentoring is Alysha's responsibility.
B: The measurability of mentoring does not address whether it is Alysha's duty.
C: Alysha's confidence level is not directly related to her responsibility for mentoring.
E, F, G: These choices are not provided in the question and therefore cannot be assessed.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer intravenous fluids via an infusion pump to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent an electrical hazard?
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A, B, C, E
Rationale:
A: Unplug the cord by grasping the plug - This is important to prevent damaging the cord and causing an electrical hazard.
B: Ensure the plug has three prongs - Three-prong plugs are grounded and reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
C: Avoid rolling equipment over extension cords - Rolling equipment can damage cords, leading to electrical hazards.
E: Disconnect electrical equipment before cleaning - Cleaning equipment while still connected can lead to electric shock or damage.
Summary:
Choice D is incorrect as plugging the pump close to a sink can increase the risk of electrical hazards due to water exposure.

Question 5 of 5
As part of an information technology implementation team, you are implementing a clinical decision support system. Particular considerations for safe implementation of this project include the following EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A: Relying solely on health information technology for communication.
Rationale:
1. Communication is a critical aspect of any project implementation.
2. Solely relying on technology for communication can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and inefficiencies.
3. It is important to have a balance between technology and direct human interaction for effective communication.
4. Implementing a clinical decision support system requires clear and effective communication among team members.
5.
Therefore, avoiding sole reliance on health information technology for communication is essential for the safe and successful implementation of the project.
Summary:
B: Establishing training programs for ALL clinical and operations staff - Training is crucial for staff to effectively use the new system.
C: Participating in the planning, selection, design, and improvement of technology - Involving stakeholders in the process ensures alignment with needs.
D: Identifying and resolving problematic work processes and procedures BEFORE technology implementation - Addressing issues beforehand minimizes disruptions during implementation.
