B. Nursing processExplanation
The nursing process is a systematic problem-solving method that guides nurses in giving patient-centered, goal-oriented care in an effective and efficient manner. It involves a series of steps including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. This process helps nurses to identify the patient's needs, develop a plan of care, and evaluate the outcomes of the interventions provided. By following this process, nurses can ensure that they are providing comprehensive and individualized care to their patients.Rate this question:

To establish priority on ND, use: (Choose all that apply)
- A.
Maslow
- B.
Erickson
- C.
ABCs
Correct Answer(s)
A. Maslow
C. ABCsExplanation
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory that suggests individuals have a set of hierarchical needs that must be met in order to reach their full potential. The ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) are a set of priorities in emergency medicine, indicating the order in which critical interventions should be performed. Both Maslow and the ABCs are used to establish priority, as they provide frameworks for identifying and addressing the most urgent needs first. Erickson, on the other hand, is a theory of psychosocial development and is not directly related to establishing priority.Rate this question:

When reporting abnormalities to expedite treatment: (select all that apply):
- A.
Document in chart
- B.
Inform physician
- C.

Correct Answer(s)
A. Document in chart
B. Inform physicianExplanation
When reporting abnormalities to expedite treatment, it is important to document them in the patient's chart for future reference and to ensure continuity of care. This allows healthcare providers to track the progression of the abnormality and make informed decisions regarding treatment. Additionally, informing the physician is crucial as they are responsible for diagnosing and managing the patient's condition. By sharing the information with the physician, they can provide appropriate treatment and make any necessary adjustments to the patient's care plan. Telling management may not be necessary in this context as it is more important to prioritize communication with the physician and proper documentation.Rate this question:

Formulation of a nursing care plan should not be delegated because it requires the expertise and knowledge of a registered nurse. Nursing care plans involve assessing the patient's condition, identifying their needs, setting goals, and developing interventions to meet those goals. These tasks require critical thinking, clinical judgment, and the ability to prioritize and coordinate care. Delegating this responsibility to unlicensed personnel or individuals without the necessary qualifications can compromise patient safety and the effectiveness of the care plan.
