ETHICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES IN NURSING PRACTICE Self-Assessment Answers and Rationales
6. The correct answer is C. Rationale: Given the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, if one of the patients is readmitted within 30 days of discharge, the hospital may lose the reimbursement for the admission. 7. The correct answer is A. Rationale: Even though Tom has not posted names, he has posted private patient information by using patient descriptions (most of his patients were combative) and location (unit and hospital). 8. The correct answer is C. Rationale: While there was no harm to the patient and Taylor reported the incident, he did place the patient at risk. After an investigation to see why Taylor did not scan (no scan wand in the room, the scan wand was broken, etc.) and any systems issues fixed, Taylor should be coached on how to prevent this from happening again.
1. The correct answer is A. Rationale: A veracity is telling the truth. By accurately telling the patient the side effects of the medication, the nurse is being truthful to the patient. 2. The correct answer is C. Rationale: Changing a bandage is within what can be delegated to an LPN. The rest of the items can be performed only by RNs. 3. The correct answer is D. Rationale: It is each state or territory’s board of nursing which develops and enforces nursing practice acts. 4. The correct answer is D. Rationale: You are overstating your credentials. 5. The correct answer is C. Rationale: This forces the patient to tell you what they understood, and any misconceptions can be discussed. The rest of the answers can be answered yes/no or not answered at all by the patient.
