The new graduate nurse is beginning work at a local hospital. The nurse plans to continue to develop which competency so that safe care is provided to clients?
1. Functioning as a member of the health care team.
2. Reporting families for bringing food to the client's room.
3. Promoting appropriate values that clients should adopt.
4. Creating a culture of trust within the hospital.
1. Functioning as a member of the health care team.
Rationale:
New nurses should learn about the health care team members and determine whom to collaborate with in certain situations. Rather than reporting families, the nurse would work with the family to help meet their needs if food is not allowed in the room. The nurse would respect the values of clients and not seek to impose any on the clients. Creating a culture of trust is a system change that is implemented by the administration.
