Two nurses are discussing the need to have to retake CPR every year and one feels that it is unnecessary to have to take a yearly class and demonstrate of competence. The other nurse makes which appropriate response?
1. "The hospital could get sued if a client dies.".
2. "Research results in many changes that we need to be aware of.".
3. "Our manager is very demanding, but we will know how to do it better.".
4. "It's probably not necessary, but it gets us off the unit.".
2. "Research results in many changes that we need to be aware of.".
Rationale:
Research is constantly finding that procedures do not often produce the desired results. Nurses need to be able to adapt to new information, including new skills. The hospital could be sued, but the reason to stay abreast is for the best care to be available to the client. The manager is not demanding but is following the recommendations of the Joint Commission. It is necessary to learn new and updated skills to remain competent.
