1. Legal Issue – Negligence
Q: A nurse is collaborating with a risk management team about potential legal issues
involving client care. The nurse should identify which of the following situations is an
example of negligence?
A. A nurse administers a medication without first identifying the client
B. An assistive personnel discusses client care in the facility cafeteria with visitors present
C. ✅ A nurse begins a blood transfusion without obtaining consent
D. An assistive personnel prevents a client from leaving the facility
Rationale: Negligence involves failure to take proper care in doing something. Initiating a
blood transfusion without consent is a violation of the patient’s right to autonomy and
informed decision-making, and it constitutes a negligent act.
2. Informed Consent – Language Barrier
Q: A nurse is preparing to obtain informed consent from a client who speaks a different
language. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
A. Request that an assistive personnel interpret the information for the client
B. Use proper medical terms when giving information to the client
C. ✅ Offer written information in the client’s language
D. Avoid using gestures when speaking to the client
Rationale: Written information in the client’s native language ensures understanding and
informed decision-making. Only qualified interpreters—not untrained staff—should be
used.
3. Insomnia Care
Q: A nurse is planning care for a client who reports insomnia. Which action should the
nurse perform shortly before bedtime?
A. ✅ Provide a late supper
B. Offer a wet washcloth for the client to wash her face
C. Perform range-of-motion exercises
D. Prepare hot cocoa or tea for the client
Rationale: A light snack before bedtime can help promote sleep. Foods containing
tryptophan or carbs (like a light supper) may aid in relaxation.
