Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The nurse should not get between the client and the exit door.
Rationale 2: This client is a danger to self and perhaps to others. Security should be notified.
Rationale 3: The nurse should not approach the client.
Rationale 4: The family should be notified, but this is not the nurse's first action.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The laboratory charges are not compared to environmental services costs. Environmental
services does not charge clients for their services, therefore they are a non-revenue producing
cost center. The laboratory does charge clients for there services, therefore they are a revenue
producing cost center. The nursing unit does affect laboratories revenue but this is not
applicable to the question.
