Question 1 of 5
The nurse is monitoring for Never Events. Which finding indicates the nurse will report a Never Event?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B
Rationale: A surgical sponge left in the patient's incision is a Never Event as it is a preventable medical error that should never occur. The nurse must report this immediately for prompt removal to prevent complications like infection or obstruction. This event breaches patient safety protocols and can lead to serious harm or even death.
Summary of other choices:
A: No blood incompatibility is a positive finding indicating patient safety measures were correctly followed.
C: Pulmonary embolism can occur despite proper precautions and is not always preventable.
D: Stage II pressure ulcer, while concerning, may not necessarily be a Never Event as it can be a result of various factors and is not always preventable with current medical knowledge.
