A Charge Nurse Would Appropriately Intervene If She Heard a Nurse

Question 33

Multiple Choice

A charge nurse would appropriately intervene if she heard a nurse under her supervision say:


A) "Ms. Anderson, it sounds like in addition to your abdominal pain, you have an irregular heartbeat. Have you ever had this before? It's important to check your pulse if you have any abnormal feelings in your chest, and if your pulse feels irregular, you should call your doctor right away."
B) "Mr. Sanchez, my name is MaryAnn. Can you repeat my name back to me? No, that's not right-try again. No, that's not how you pronounce it-it's "MARY ANN." Can you say that? No? I think you may be having a stroke."
C) "Mr. Allen, it seems you're having rebound tenderness-meaning increased pain after I apply pressure to your abdomen and then release the pressure. That's a possible sign of appendicitis. Have you had your appendix removed?"
D) "Mrs. McBain, have you experienced numbness in your feet before? Really, how often? The reason I ask is that it can be a sign of diabetes or other serious illnesses like multiple sclerosis. Have you ever been tested for diabetes or MS before?"
