Which of the following is important to include when creating a culture of patient safety?
 
  a. Promote staff empowerment to resolve unsafe situations.
  b. Use new technology to document client complaints.
  c. Implement professional standards of care.
  d. Recognize social justice issues.

Question 2

Acute renal failure and a resulting metabolic acidosis develop in a client. The nurse recognizes that the respiratory system compensates through which of the following processes?
 
  a. Hypoventilation and increase of bicarbonate in the bloodstream
  b. Alternating periods of deep versus shallow breaths to maintain homeostasis of the serum pH
  c. Hyperventilation to decrease the serum carbon dioxide and thereby increase the pH
  d. Expansion of the lung tissues to their fullest, which increases the inspiratory re-serve volumes to provide more oxygen to the tissues

Answer to Question 1

A
Promoting staff empowerment to resolve unsafe situations is part of creating a culture of patient safety.
New technology and other demands on health systems have prompted a re-examination of how errors and adverse events for patients can be prevented. Documenting patient complaints is not currently part of creating a culture of patient safety.
Professional standards of care are currently practised and are the organization's interpretation of the professional's competency.
Recognizing social justice issues is not specifically related to creating a culture of patient safety.

Answer to Question 2

C
The respiratory system tries to correct metabolic acidosis by increasing ventilation to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and thereby raise the pH.
The respiratory system would compensate for metabolic acidosis with increased respirations, not hypoventilation. Bicarbonate is the renal component of acidbase balance, not the respiratory component.
The pH measures hydrogen ion concentration. Alternating deep versus shallow breaths is not a compensating mechanism of the respiratory system for metabolic acidosis.
The respiratory system does not compensate by expanding the lung tissues to their fullest. In metabolic acidosis, the respiratory system compensates by exhaling a greater amount of carbon dioxide.
