Question 1 of 5
The nurse and a colleague are on the elevator after their shift, and they hear a group of health caregivers discussing a recent client scenario. Which client right might be breached?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The right to confidentiality of client information might be breached when client care situations are discussed in public areas or without regard to maintaining the information as private and confidential. The other rights listed have not been breached in this instance.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse uses prioritization to determine all the following except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Treatment procedures are standards of care as defined by the facility or nursing unit. If a treatment is indicated, the nurse is obligated to follow the established procedure to be compliant with practice standards. Established priorities contribute to the determination of time management, appropriate interventions, and the need for client education as a potential intervention.
Question 3 of 5
While on the wound care team, the nurse notices that a fellow nurse opens extra colloid dressing that are often thrown away when they are not needed. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To ensure cost effective care, the nurse should discuss this wastage with the colleague as throwing away unused supplies may impact the unit's supply cost.
Question 4 of 5
The ICU nurse caring for a client who has just been declared brain dead can expect to find evidence of the client's wishes regarding organ donation:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In most states, indication of organ donor status is found on the driver's license. Evidence in a last will and testament or in a safety deposit box is not readily accessible for decision-making if the need arises. Insurance cards do not contain such information.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When there is a concern about a potentially unsafe health care provider, the nurse should intervene immediately and not allow the physician to continue with the procedure until the concern is investigated; the concern should be reported to the next person in the chain of command. An incident report can be written following reporting and an investigation.
