Answer to Question 1

D
Medication administration continues to be one of the most error-prone nursing interventions for critical care nurses. Intimidating and disruptive clinician behaviors can lead to errors and preventable adverse patient outcomes. Patient safety has been described as an ethical imperative and one that is inherent in health care professionals' actions and interpersonal processes; examples include inappropriate care and injury to patients by falls.

Answer to Question 2

A
An algorithm is a stepwise decision-making flowchart for a specific care process or processes. A practice guideline is usually created by an expert panel and developed by a professional organization. Protocols are more directive and rigid than guidelines, and providers are not supposed to vary from a protocol. An order set consists of preprinted provider orders that are used to expedite the order process after a standard has been validated through analytical review of practice and research.
