Healthcare institutions expect that nursing graduates will be able to apply their theoretic knowledge for safe client care. Which of the following actions best demonstrates this?
A) Creating a nursing care plan for a newly admitted patient
B) Responding appropriately to a patient complaining of chest pain
C) Advocating for a patient's interests with members of other disciplines
D) Conducting a thorough and thoughtful search for nursing employment
Ans: B
Responding appropriately to an emergent health threat is a demonstration of safe
care and the appropriate application of knowledge. Patient advocacy and creating care plans are
functions that are less closely related to patient safety. Searching for a job is not linked to safe
client care.
