The nurse uses information gathered during the assessment phase to benefit client care in what way?
 
  1. To schedule a client's care
  2. To contribute to the development of an individualized plan of care
  3. To determine the cause of the client's health problem
  4. To determine what medications should be prescribed

Question 2

The nurse finds a medication error made on a prior shift by another nurse. The nurse who discovers the error will:
 
  1. Write a note to the nurse involved explaining the need for an incident report.
  2. Ignore the error because it's none of the nurse's business.
  3. Report the error to the nursing supervisor to deal with the incident report.
  4. Complete an incident report according to facility policy.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Baseline assessments assist the nurse to develop an individualized plan of care specifically aimed at that client's needs. Clients' care can be scheduled with consideration to clients' preferences, but is also determined by client needs. Cause of health problems and medications are the provider's responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: An incident report is completed by the person who discovers the incident, which does not indicate responsibility for the event. The nursing supervisor should be informed of the incident report and error, but will not be responsible for completing the incident report.
