Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) will be given tasks by the registered nurse. Which of the ensuing assignments might the registered nurse trustworthily provide to a UAP?
Answer: Give an oatmeal bath to an infant with eczema
An assistant can be trusted to bathe an infant who has eczema because it's a simple chore that they can handle well.
A nurse manager transferred an RN from the children unit to the telemetry unit. The RN was given charge of three patients. Which patient(s) from the list below shouldn't be given to the floating nurse?
Answer: A young infant after pyloromyotomy
The nurse who was floated from the telemetry unit would not be well-equipped to care for a small child who has recently undergone GI surgery and needs a strict feeding schedule.
The pediatric unit's charge nurse is not present. The nursing supervisor made the decision to transfer the obstetrics unit's nurse to the pediatrics unit. What patients from the list below could the nurse manager trustfully provide the float nurse?
Answer: A child who has had a nephrectomy for Wilm’s tumor
Because this nurse has previous experience caring for patients who have had cesarean births, she should be able to care for a client who needs significant abdominal surgery.
A certified nursing assistant will be given the assignment by the registered nurse. Which of the following customers ought not to be put on a CAN?
Answer: A patient diagnosed with diabetes and who has an infected toe
The patient requires continuing evaluation by an RN because they are suffering a potentially dangerous diabetes complication.
All of the nursing unit clients' medications are administered by the nurse in the medication unit. The head nurse is coordinating the activities for clients with other departments while making rounds with the doctor. The nurse's aide answers call lights and adjusts bed lines. A licensed practitioner nurse collects vital signs and bathes the patients; a second nurse is assigned to change the wound dressings. What kind of nursing care method does this illustrate?
Answer: Functional method
It speaks of practical nursing. Instead of specific clients, staff members are assigned to certain tasks.
Over the course of the 12-hour shift, six clients will be attended by a registered nurse. The RN is in charge of all aspects of care, including developing the care plan, making interventions, and monitoring the care during her shift. The RN will hand off this responsibility to the following RN in charge when her shift is through. What kind of approach is demonstrated by this nursing care?
Answer: Case method
Case Management. For the duration of her whole shift, the nurse is solely responsible for attending to the patient's needs.
A freshly hired nurse with three months of experience on an adult medicine unit was asked to float to pediatrics. The nurse balks at performing pediatric skills and is given an engaging but intimidating assignment. The nurse needs to:
Answer: Inform the nursing supervisor and the charge nurse on the pediatric floor about the nurse’s lack of skill and feelings of hesitations and request assistance
The nurse has an ethical duty to disclose her level of expertise to the individual in charge of the assignment and the individual in charge of the unit. As a result, the nurse prevents leaving clients behind and putting them in danger.
