Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, D, E

There are some pitfalls to avoid when prioritizing care. A pitfall is a hidden trap that catches people unaware and undermines plans. Obtaining assessment data from another nurse can provide insight and give a picture of how a client has been during the previous shift; however, using only this information to set priorities may negatively impact client outcomes. Failing to complete an assessment can cause the nurse to miss important and necessary information when setting priorities. Completing easy tasks before doing important, necessary tasks does not make good, professional common sense. Inappropriate delegation may result in the nurse having to do an intervention over or may even result in harm to the client. Reviewing the medication administration record does not negatively impact prioritization.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

A team comprised of members from different disciplines that is focused on achieving a common goal is an interdisciplinary team. Their varying professional backgrounds helps to ensure that other perspectives are represented as the issue is considered. Intradisciplinary teams are comprised of members of the same profession working to achieve a common goal, and multidisciplinary teams are more commonly teams whose members work more autonomously toward the common goal. Complementary is not a type of team, although team members' efforts can be complementary and provide a broader perspective of issues.
