Question 2
A nurse is educating a student nurse about the responsibilities of a student nurse. The nurse recognizes that additional teaching is needed when the student nurse states:
1. I will check laboratory results for my patients often.
2. I am responsible for noting abnormal assessment findings.
3. I will frequently check the patient's chart for diagnostic test results.
4. It is not within my scope of practice to notify someone of abnormal findings.
The patient and his family meet with the nurse to discuss progress on the patient care plan.
