A nurse manager is aware of the importance of safety on the unit and takes measures to protect and promote the safety of clients, families, and employees alike. In order to meet this goal, the manager should:
A) aim to provide a private room for as many clients as possible.
B) keep medication cart locked when they are not in use.
C) allow clients to participate in the planning of their care.
D) ensure that each caregiver has an assigned "buddy."
Ans: B
Feedback:
Securing medications is an integral component of safety. Providing private rooms and encouraging client participation in care do not enhance safety. It is unnecessary and unrealistic to create a "buddy" system for staff.
