Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Having the client wear rubber skid-resistant slippers is the most appropriate intervention to decrease the risk of client falls, which will promote a safe environment. Dim lighting will increase the risk of client falls. The environment should be clutter-free, because any clutter can cause the client to fall. Noise should be kept to a minimum, but turning off alarms would endanger a client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

New nurses should learn about the healthcare team members and determine whom to collaborate with in certain situations. Rather than reporting families, the nurse would work with families to help meet their needs if food is not allowed in the room. The nurse would respect the values of clients and not seek to impose any on the clients. Creating a culture of trust is a system change that is implemented by the administration.
