Answer to Question 1

A
Before taking a meal tray into a client's room, the nurse must ensure that the client is ready to eat: hands and face washed, oral hygiene completed, and bladder emptied.

Answer to Question 2

B
Evidence-based practice is also one of the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses' (QSEN) competencies, with the overall goal for the QSEN project being to meet the challenge of prepar-ing future nurses to have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of the health care systems within which they work (QSEN, 2012). The Joint Commission provides Patient Safety Goals. All magnet-designated hospitals maintain the National Database of Nursing Quality Improvement (NDNQI). The database has information on falls, pressure ulcer incidence, and nurse satisfaction. The AHRQ is a national agency that provides important sources of new scientific information that include standards and practice guidelines.
