In the morning care conference, the nurse instructs the assistant to feed breakfast to the clients in beds 2234, 2230, and 2241. The assistant indicates understanding of the assignment and repeats the bed numbers back to the nurse.
 
  What is the nurse's next step? 1. Check with the assistant to see how the assignment is going during the time breakfast is served.
  2. Check the client's breakfast trays before they are returned to dietary.
  3. Check with the clients to see if they had breakfast.
  4. At the end of the shift ask the assistant how the clients ate.

  2. I will be available to come in for extra shifts if needed.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Checking with the assistant while the tasks are being done is the best plan. If there is a misunderstanding or problem, this is the best time for the nurse to intervene.
Rationale 2: Simply seeing an empty breakfast tray does not guarantee that the instructions were carried out correctly.
Rationale 3: Checking with the clients does not allow for the nurse to amend the instruction or correct the actions being taken.
Rationale 4: Waiting until the end of the shift does not allow the nurse to amend the instruction or correct actions being taken.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Going on a mission trip is the short-term goal since it involves the next 6 months to a year time
frame. The long-term goal would be to become the nurse anesthetist within 10 years. The
statements about extra shifts and getting the job are broad and not measurable. Thus they are
not goals.
