Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, E

Skills associated with safety include establishing ways to decrease dependence on memory such as documenting care immediately after providing it and undertaking root cause analysis instead of assigning blame. Devising methods that enhance teamwork and participating in conflict resolution are skills associated with teamwork and collaboration. Recognizing deficiencies between current and best practice is a skill associated with quality improvement.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Safe medicine use is identified as one of the National Patient Safety Goals for hospitals. Solutions to better reach the goal of safe medicine include labeling all medicines, using extra caution with blood thinners, and taking care when recording and communicating client medicine information. It is not appropriate to allow the client to keep home medication at the bedside for use in the hospital.
