ATI RN Leadership 2019 Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
A charge nurse is receiving change-of-shift report. Situations include: the emergency department nurse waiting to give report on a new admission, two staff members calling in absent, transport assistance unavailable for occupational therapy, a medication error incident report from the previous shift.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following situations should the charge nurse address first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The charge nurse should address the situation where the emergency department nurse is waiting to give report on a new admission first because it involves patient care and potential critical information that needs to be communicated promptly to ensure continuity of care and patient safety. This is a priority as it directly impacts the well-being of the patient. Addressing this issue first will allow for timely assessment and intervention for the newly admitted patient.
Choices B, C, and D are important issues that need to be addressed, but they do not have the same level of urgency as the patient care situation presented in choice A. Staff absences and transport assistance can be managed with contingency plans, and the incident report about a medication error can be investigated and addressed after ensuring the immediate patient care issue is handled.
