Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

Just culture is based on the understanding that errors are often the result of system failures rather than human failures. It recognizes that an atmosphere of punishment impedes error prevention by promoting intimidation and secrecy rather than shared accountability. Just culture focuses on the system rather than the individual while still maintaining an environment of individual accountability for both front-line staff and leaders and managers. Successfully establishing an environment of just culture requires that leadership encourage proactive system management as well as individual accountability. Just culture does not accept or tolerate conscious disregard of client and staff safety. Each member has the responsibility to take action to prevent errors and also to respond to errors, recognizing that errors are more often the result of system failures than individual error, and that when individual error does occur, it is more likely to be accidental than willful or neglectful. As more organizations begin to embrace just culture, front-line staff is likely to feel more support from management in critical areas, including staffing. However, nurses and other front-line staff may find themselves in situation where management is unresponsive to suggestions for improvement or reporting of critical shortages or potential for errors related to client safety. In these cases, staff may find themselves in the awkward position of needing to report these problems outside the agency.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The nursing supervisor cannot assume that the nurse sustained the injuries in an accident, nor can the nursing supervisor assume abuse. However, older adults are subjected to abuse, and the charge nurse would want to ask about the injuries. The authorities should not be notified until some proof of abuse is noted. Security is not the appropriate department to notify unless the injuries were sustained at work. Nurses are bound to report abuse, so the nursing supervisor would at least question the older nurse regarding the injuries.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
