The nurse needs to complete mandatory continuing education on client safety as part of a regulatory requirement for the hospital. Which computerized approach should the nurse consider to complete this required education?

Question

1. Complete a computerized tutorial on client safety
2. Read information on safety from a web site
3. Review the online hospital policies about client safety
4. Complete a literature review on client safety

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Nursing has benefited from the computer revolution in the form of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Programs cover a variety of topics which allow almost instant access to any content. Completion of CAI programs may also be an acceptable means of demonstrating continuing education activities.
Rationale 2: Reading information from a web site does not necessarily indicate completion of education on client safety.
Rationale 3: Reviewing policies online does not necessarily indicate completion of education on client safety.
Rationale 4: Completing a literature review on client safety would not indicate that education on this topic has been completed.
