The client has been told that chemotherapy must be postponed until the client is hydrated. The client refuses the intravenous hydration and demands to go home. The nurse would report this occurrence as:
 
  1. A reportable incident.
  2. A medical-legal incident.
  3. Client dissatisfaction with care.
  4. Medication error.

Question 2

The newly licensed nurse is delighted to have been hired at a Magnet hospital and says, They even assigned me a mentor. What is erroneous about this statement?
 
  1. Magnet hospitals do not hire new graduates.
  2. Magnet hospitals do not use mentor programs.
  3. Mentors are only assigned to experienced nurses.
  4. Preceptors are assigned; mentors choose protgs.

Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. A medical-legal incident occurs when a client or family refuses treatment as ordered. A
reportable incident is any unexpected or unplanned occurrence that could potentially harm a
client, family member, or staff. When a client or family member indicates general
dissatisfaction with care and the situation cannot be resolved, an incident report is filed. A
reportable incident occurs when the nurse unintentionally omits a medication or fluid.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Magnet hospitals do hire new graduates.
Rationale 2: Magnet hospitals do use mentor programs.
Rationale 3: The mentorprotg relationship is typically between an experienced nurse and a younger, inexperienced nurse. They are not assigned.
Rationale 4: The nurse is mistakenly describing a preceptor as a mentor. Preceptors are assigned, whereas mentors choose protgs.
Global Rationale:
