Which of the following is a 2025 Hospital National Patient Safety Goal which was displayed during the Room of Errors group activity in the front of classroom 4 at school on Wednesday 4-2-25?

A. Respiratory rate is correct. In acute adrenal insufficiency (also known as adrenal crisis), there is a severe deficiency of cortisol, which can lead to hypotension, shock, and respiratory distress. Assessing the respiratory rate is crucial to identify any signs of respiratory compromise or distress, which can occur in adrenal crisis due to circulatory and metabolic instability.
B. Cranial nerves is incorrect. While cranial nerve assessment is important in neurological evaluations, it is not the priority assessment for acute adrenal insufficiency. Respiratory and circulatory assessments take precedence in this emergency situation.
C. Blood glucose levels is incorrect. While blood glucose levels should be monitored in adrenal crisis (due to potential hypoglycemia), the priority assessment is focused on respiratory function and signs of shock, as these are the most immediate threats to the client's life.
D. Range of motion is incorrect. While it’s important to assess mobility in general nursing care, assessing the range of motion is not a priority in acute adrenal insufficiency, where immediate concerns are more related to respiratory status and hemodynamic stability.

A. Staffing practices are unrelated to nursing fatigue is incorrect. Research consistently shows that inadequate staffing contributes to nurse fatigue and burnout. When there are fewer nurses than needed, it can lead to longer shifts, more stress, and exhaustion, negatively affecting both nurse well-being and patient care.
B. Adequate staffing places little demand on the budgeting of nursing units is incorrect. While adequate staffing may require a higher initial budget, the long-term benefits (such as improved patient outcomes and nurse retention) can lead to cost savings. Inadequate staffing can result in more complications, longer hospital stays, and higher turnover rates, which can ultimately increase costs.
C. Adequate staffing helps to promote both patient and nurse satisfaction is correct. Current clinical research supports the idea that adequate staffing directly improves both patient outcomes and nurse satisfaction. When staffing levels are appropriate, nurses are less likely to experience burnout, and patients are more likely to receive safe, quality care, leading to higher satisfaction for both parties.
D. Staffing patterns do not affect hospital infection rate is incorrect. Staffing patterns are directly linked to patient safety and infection rates. Research shows that lower staffing levels can result in higher patient infection rates due to decreased nurse-patient interaction and the inability to provide timely interventions.
