ATI Leadership and Ethics NURS 252 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The Rehabilitation Unit at Pleasant Valley Hospital has a high number of falls. What interventions might assist to reduce the number of falls on the unit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Educating staff on best practices for fall prevention is evidence-based and effective. Restraints can cause harm, blaming individuals ignores systemic issues, and punishment creates a blame culture, all of which are ineffective.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse allows a nurse an additional twenty minutes for his lunch break to take care of a personal matter. The charge nurse agrees to watch his patients for the additional twenty minutes, only if he agrees to help with the end-of-shift drug count. The charge nurse is demonstrating which of the following types of conflict management?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Compromising involves mutual concessions, as seen in the exchange of covering patients for help with the drug count. Avoiding ignores issues, cooperating lacks clear exchange, and competing prioritizes one party's needs.
Question 3 of 5
The chief nursing officer at a local hospital seeking Magnet® status creates staff development classes concerning translation of research into practice (TRIP). What best describes TRIP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TRIP involves applying research to practice through adoption strategies. Searching reviews, sharing results, or conducting reviews are related but not the core of TRIP.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is a member of a quality-improvement committee seeking to reduce the risk of adverse events in a health care facility. When reviewing recently submitted incident reports, which of the following incidents should the nurse identify as a sentinel event?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Paralysis is a severe adverse outcome, qualifying as a sentinel event requiring investigation. Prevented surgery, a non-injurious fall, or cultural insensitivity do not meet sentinel event criteria.
Question 5 of 5
During an annual performance evaluation, a manager provides truthful feedback about the nurse's performance. What ethical principle does this represent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fidelity involves truthfulness and trust, reflected in honest feedback. Autonomy respects decision-making, nonmaleficence avoids harm, and justice ensures fairness, but none directly apply to truthful feedback.
