Answer to Question 1

C
Accountability refers to individuals being answerable for their actions. It involves follow-up and a reflective analysis of one's decisions to evaluate their effectiveness.
Selecting the medication schedule for the client is an example of taking responsibility.
Implementing discharge teaching plans that meet individual clients' needs is an example of au-tonomy.
Promoting participation of all staff members in unit meetings is an example of decentralized management and of promoting authority.

Answer to Question 2

D
After administering preoperative medications, the nurse should raise the side rails on the bed or stretcher and keep the bed or stretcher in low position.
Keeping the client quiet is not a safety priority. Preanaesthetic medications will help reduce the client's anxiety.
Consent must be obtained before preoperative medications are administered or the consent is in-valid.
Preparing the skin at the surgical site is often done in the operating room. It is not a safety prior-ity after the administration of preoperative medications.
