Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: A patient (or patients) with complex medical issues and acuity will increase the amount of nursing time needed to manage them and create clinical challenges to safety. A patient with depressive symptoms and a history of hypertension is likely stable and less acute, based on the information provided. Having a high RN ratio and a number of long-term admissions would likely result in greater safety due to improved staffing levels and lower acuity on the unit.
