Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
SBAR is a recommended form of communication, and the acronym stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. Appropriate background information includes allergies to medications the on-call physician might order. Situation describes what is happening right now that must be communicated; the client's surgery 2 days ago would be considered background. Assessment would include an analysis of the client's problem; asking for a different pain medication is a recommendation. Recommendation is a statement of what is needed or what outcome is desired; this information about the surgeon's preference might be better placed in background.
