A nurse is providing teaching to a newly diagnosed diabetic patient. The nurse recognizes this as which learning domain?

Choice A rationale
Notifying the surgeon and clarifying the discrepancy before proceeding is crucial to ensure patient safety. The time-out procedure is designed to prevent wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-person surgeries. Any discrepancy must be resolved to avoid potential harm to the patient.
Choice B rationale
Proceeding with the planned procedure as written without addressing the discrepancy can lead to serious errors, such as performing surgery on the wrong site or patient. This action is not aligned with the safety protocols established by the Joint Commission.
Choice C rationale
Discussing the discrepancy with the patient after the surgery does not prevent the error from occurring. The purpose of the time-out procedure is to catch and correct any discrepancies before the surgery begins.
Choice D rationale
Ignoring the discrepancy as it is not significant undermines the entire purpose of the time-out procedure, which is to ensure all details are correct before proceeding with surgery. Even seemingly minor discrepancies can lead to major errors.

Choice A rationale
Confining a patient to a room without provisions for their care is not the best definition of false imprisonment. While it may be considered neglect or abuse, false imprisonment specifically involves restraining a person against their will without legal justification.
Choice B rationale
Restraining a patient against their will is the correct definition of false imprisonment. False imprisonment occurs when a person is intentionally confined or restrained without their consent and without legal authority.
Choice C rationale
Applying physical restraints to prevent falls is not considered false imprisonment if done with proper consent and following legal and medical guidelines. It is a safety measure, not an unlawful restraint.
Choice D rationale
Implementing a care plan without patient consent may be considered a violation of patient rights, but it does not fit the definition of false imprisonment. False imprisonment specifically involves physical restraint or confinement.
