A nurse discovers a patient lying on the floor. When completing an incident report, the nurse should write:
1. Patient fell out of bed onto the floor.
2. Heard patient fall from the bed to the floor.
3. Patient accidentally fell out of bed onto the floor.
4. Found patient lying facedown on the floor beside the bed.
Question 2
A nurse teaches a student nurse about what type of occurrence requires completion of an incident report. The nurse recognizes that additional instruction is warranted when the student nurse states:
1. If my patient falls out of a chair, I will complete an incident report.
2. If I give the wrong medication to my patient, I will complete an incident report.
3. If a visitor is injured while seeing my patient, I will complete an incident report.
4. If my patient refuses to cooperate with physical therapy, I will complete an incident report.
