Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. A medical-legal incident occurs when a client or family refuses treatment as ordered. A
reportable incident is any unexpected or unplanned occurrence that could potentially harm a
client, family member, or staff. When a client or family member indicates general
dissatisfaction with care and the situation cannot be resolved, an incident report is filed. A
reportable incident occurs when the nurse unintentionally omits a medication or fluid.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Magnet hospitals do hire new graduates.
Rationale 2: Magnet hospitals do use mentor programs.
Rationale 3: The mentorprotg relationship is typically between an experienced nurse and a younger, inexperienced nurse. They are not assigned.
Rationale 4: The nurse is mistakenly describing a preceptor as a mentor. Preceptors are assigned, whereas mentors choose protgs.
Global Rationale:
