Question 1

When providing care to critically ill patients, whether they are responsive or unresponsive, what should the nurse do?
◦ Make sure the patient always responds and is cooperative before giving care.
◦ Perform the activity and then let the patient rest without explaining the care.
◦ Clearly explain what care is to be done before starting the activity.
◦ Explain to the family that the patient will not understand or remember any of the discomfort associated with care.

Question 2

Which communication strategy should the critical care nurse use when communicating with a ventilated patient?
◦ Discuss issues primarily with the family because the patient is unlikely to understand the information.
◦ Use simple language and explain in other terms if the patient does not seem to understand.
◦ Provide minimal information so the patient is not overwhelmed.
◦ Use professional terminology and provide the patient with detailed information.
