A student nurse was discussing the subject of incident reports. All of the statements made by the student were accurate until she said:
1. Incident reports are to be completed in the event of an unusual occurrence or an accident.
2. An incident report should be completed according to agency policy, including notification of the supervisor and designated personnel.
3. A copy of the incident report should be filed as part of the involved patient's chart.
4. An incident report should include what happened, who was involved, witnesses to the event, and treatment provided.
Question 2
The potential exists for a complaint of sexual harassment if a nurse states which of the following? Select all that apply.
1. Would you please help me with one of my female patients? She is uncomfortable asking me to assist her to the restroom.
2. If I take your patient in Room 203 her pain medication, what are you going to do for me?
3. When my patient's physician arrives on the floor, let me know. I would like to make rounds with him.
4. Could you help me with my patient? She's very large and difficult to get up.
5. Male nurses never carry their weight. I think they use the fact that a female patient won't let them catheterize them as an excuse so they don't have to put in a Foley catheter.
