Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this situation, when Nurse Ann informs Nurse Christine that a client's status is declining and she needs to attend to them, the most appropriate action for Nurse Christine is to inform their supervisor that assignments may need to be changed. By informing the supervisor, necessary adjustments can be made to ensure proper care for all clients. Offering to give medications to Nurse Ann's other two clients (choice
A) may not address the underlying issue of a declining client and could lead to a delay in care. Asking other nurses for help (choice
C) might not be the most efficient solution, as the supervisor is responsible for reassigning tasks. Nurse Ann continuing to care for all her assigned clients (choice
D) may compromise the quality of care provided to the declining client and may spread her too thin, impacting all clients negatively.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'specific.' A specific test correctly identifies individuals who do not have a particular disease. In this case, since the lab culture report is negative for the suspected infection, it means the test is good at ruling out the disease. 'Sensitive' (choice
B) would be incorrect as sensitivity refers to a test's ability to correctly identify individuals who do have the disease. 'Negative culture' (choice
C) is incorrect as it describes the result rather than the test's characteristic. 'Marginal finding' (choice
D) is unrelated to the concept of correctly identifying individuals without the disease.

It focuses more on setting objectives and goals rather than directly interacting with individuals, making it the exception among the given choices.

This immediate assessment is crucial in ensuring the client's immediate needs are addressed. Asking the nursing assistant to complete an incident report (choice
A) is not the priority as the client's condition needs immediate attention. Contacting the unit secretary to call the client's health care provider (choice
C) can be done after the initial assessment has been completed. Asking the nursing assistant to assist in getting the client back to bed (choice
D) should only be considered after ensuring the client is stable and safe to move.
