The advanced nurse practitioner is routinely addressed as "doctor" by clinic patients. What is the best way for the nurse to handle this mistake?
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. Only allow this practice if the ANP has an earned doctorate. 2. Accept the mistake with good humor and ignore it. 3. Be certain patients are aware that the nurse is not a physician. 4. Ask the patients to address the ANP by first name. 5. Wear a nametag that clearly lists the nurse's credentials as an ANP.
The patient comes to the emergency department with a head injury, broken ribs, and internal bleeding. Opioid analgesics are contraindicated. What does the nurse recognize as the primary rationale for this?
1. The use of opioid analgesics will depress the patient's blood pressure. 2. The patient may not be able to communicate his level of pain. 3. Opioids will not effectively relieve pain in the patient's periphery. 4. Opioids can mask changes in the patient's level of consciousness.
The best way for the nurse to show cultural sensitivity when addressing the personal questions required of the nursing history is to:
1. Break the assessment into shorter intervals and discuss general topics first. 2. Thoroughly explain the reason for asking many questions before beginning the assessment. 3. Pick a time when the family is present and can help with the admission assessment questions. 4. Wait until the nurse-client relationship has been established.
