Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

The committee is creating a plan to ensure the protection of client information. The committee needs to design polices for password protection and log-in information, determine mechanisms to handle clients and staff who communicate through social media, and what to do if information is inputted into an incorrect medical record. Identifying applications that interface with smartphones and creating interfaces so that clients can input health data are not approaches to ensure the protection of client information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D, E

One strategy to prevent instances of professional negligence is to ensure client safety. The client fell when getting out of bed because the call light was not used. Because there is no way of knowing if the client knew how to use the call light, the nurse should be concerned with this situation. Checking the client name band before providing medications is not an action that is negligent. However providing medications beyond the prescribed time can be viewed as negligent care. Clear communication of directions, explanations, and providing effective client education regarding the client's healthcare requirements can help decrease the risk of bad outcomes so the wound evisceration could be viewed as negligent care. Poor documentation about care, wounds, and intravenous sites could be viewed as negligent care.
