The health care organization is a "magnet" facility. Which of the following statements by the new nurse indicates that further teaching is necessary regarding implementation of policies and procedures characteristic of magnet facilities?
1. "I've been using the scripting that was provided about how to use the call lights to ensure the clients feel safer."
2. "I really like using these new and safer intravenous catheters."
3. "I'm perfectly happy with my associate's degree in nursing. I see no need to go back to school for my bachelor's."
4. "Our rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia are decreasing."
Answer: 3
Rationale: Magnet facilities create positive environments for staff members and clients. Staff members have lower rates of burnout, have fewer injuries, are better educated, and feel comfortable with staffing ratios. Clients are more satisfied, have reduced risk of illnesses and death, and are safer. Magnet facilities promote safety for their nurses and clients. They adopt products that are safer for nurses to use. The magnet facilities promote higher education for nurses. Also, they want unit nurses to understand the nosocomial infection rates that the nurses can impact with prevention-oriented behavior.
