Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Calling for housekeeping to clean up the spill before moving the client is correct because the
nurse is practicing quality management by addressing a problem before it causes a crisis.
Taking care of the client is the first priority, which leaves out cleaning up the spill.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. Because there are fewer RNs, all nurses must possess management skills. The new RN will be
required to supervise and delegate tasks to nonprofessional nursing staff. Only RNs are
allowed to evaluate client care. The RN will communicate with practitioners from many other
disciplines. A new RN would not be required to do performance evaluations or plan for
budgets.
