An assistive personnel cannot recall his password and asks a nurse if he can enter vital signs for a client while the nurse is logged into the client's electronic medical record. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

"Ask the charge nurse if she will enter the vital signs for you."

"I'll give you my password to use on another computer, but only for those vital signs."

"I can't let you use the computer on my login, but give me the vital signs and I'll enter them."

"Contact the information technology team and ask them to reset your password."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. "Ask the charge nurse if she will enter the vital signs for you." This option might be practical but does not address the issue of ensuring proper use of login credentials and adherence to privacy and security protocols.
B. "I'll give you my password to use on another computer, but only for those vital signs." Sharing passwords is a violation of security protocols and is not permissible. Each user must use their own credentials to ensure accountability and security.
C. "I can't let you use the computer on my login, but give me the vital signs and I'll enter them." This response is appropriate. It maintains security by not sharing passwords while still addressing the immediate need of entering the vital signs.
D. "Contact the information technology team and ask them to reset your password." While contacting IT for a password reset is a good practice, it doesn't solve the immediate problem of entering the vital signs. However, it is an important step for addressing long-term access issues.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. "Once the form has been signed, you cannot change your mind." This is incorrect as the client has the right to change their mind and withdraw consent at any time.
B. "I will explain the complications of the procedure." The nurse’s role in informed consent is to witness the signing and ensure the client understands, not to explain the procedure's details, which is the provider’s responsibility.
C. "I will obtain your signature which states that you understand the procedure." This is correct. The nurse’s role is to witness the client’s signature on the informed consent form, indicating that the client has understood the information provided by the provider.
D. "I can explain alternative treatments to you."Explaining alternative treatments is the responsibility of the provider, not the nurse.

A. Place the client in contact Isolation. B. Prepare the client for a colonoscopy. C. Administer docusate sodium 500 mg daily. D. Use a bleach solution to clean the client's bedside table. E. Use hand sanitizer immediately after caring for the client.

Correct Answer is ["A","D"]

Explanation

A. Place the client in contact isolation. Contact isolation helps prevent the spread of C. difficile to other patients and staff by requiring the use of gowns and gloves when entering the patient's room.
B. Prepare the client for a colonoscopy. This is not typically part of the standard care plan for C. difficile infection. Colonoscopies are not indicated for diagnosing or managing C. difficile.
C. Administer docusate sodium 500 mg daily. Docusate sodium is a stool softener and is not appropriate for treating C. difficile, which causes diarrhea.
D. Use a bleach solution to clean the client's bedside table. Bleach is effective at killing C. difficile spores, which are resistant to many other cleaning agents.
E. Use hand sanitizer immediately after caring for the client. Hand sanitizers are not effective against C. difficile spores. Handwashing with soap and water is necessary.
