Which of the following is an example of a safety need according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

A. While protocols for care may be developed by healthcare facilities or professional organizations, the BON does not create specific care protocols for health problems. The BON primarily focuses on regulation and oversight of nursing practice rather than clinical protocols.
B. While the BON does play a role in ensuring the quality of nursing education programs through accreditation and approval processes, the statement is somewhat broad. The BON's primary responsibility is to regulate nursing practice and ensure public safety, rather than actively promoting educational excellence in a proactive manner.
C. The BON is responsible for enforcing the Nurse Practice Act, which defines the scope of nursing practice and sets the legal standards for nursing in the state. The BON regulates nursing practice by monitoring compliance with these laws, investigating complaints, and taking disciplinary action as necessary.
D. The BON does establish the competencies required for licensure, often in collaboration with educational institutions, but it does not directly determine individual competencies for nurses.

A. If any interventions were taken in response to abnormal blood pressure readings (e.g., administering medication, adjusting treatment plans), it should be recorded to provide a complete picture of the
client’s care.
B. This is also crucial information to include. Blood pressure readings can vary based on the client's position (e.g., sitting, standing, lying down), so documenting the position helps provide context for the reading and ensures consistency in monitoring.
C. This is important to document as well. Indicating whether the blood pressure was taken on the right arm, left arm, or another site (like the thigh) is necessary, as different sites can yield different readings and can be relevant for assessing trends over time.
D. Documenting the client’s response to any interventions is vital. This includes how the client reacted to medications or changes in treatment based on their blood pressure readings. It helps in evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and planning future care.
E. This information is not typically documented in the context of a specific blood pressure reading. While it’s important for care planning to know how often blood pressure should be monitored, the actual frequency does not need to be recorded with each individual reading.
