Correct!
When a visitor suddenly becomes weak and dizzy, the nurse
checks the visitor’s blood pressure and takes the visitor to the
emergency department for treatment.7/19/2021 Module 6 Exam: HESI VN TXGRP 1912COHORT(VNE 39)

A nurse, charting the administration of medications to an
assigned client at 9 p.m., notes that atenolol (Tenormin) was
prescribed to be administered at 9 a.m. instead of 9 p.m. The
nurse checks the client’s vital signs, completes an incident report,
and calls the health care provider to report the error. The health
care provider tells the nurse that an incident report is not needed
but instructs her to monitor the client during the night for
hypotension. What action should the nurse take?
Question 2 1 / 1 pts
Rationale: An incident is any event that is not consistent
with the routine operation of a health care unit or routine
care of a client. Examples of incidents include client falls,
needlestick injuries, a visitor having symptoms of illness,
medication administration errors, accidental omission of
prescribed therapies, and circumstances leading to injury
or a risk for injury. An incident report does not need to be
filed if a client has a seizure unless the client sustains
injury as a result of the seizure. If the nurse determines
that a client would benefit from the use of a walker to
ambulate, he or she should take the appropriate action to
obtain one. If the nurse notes that the battery of an
intravenous infusion pump is not working, he or she
should obtain a functioning pump and send the
nonfunctioning pump to the appropriate department for
repair.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use knowledge of the subject,
reasons for filing an incident report, to assist you with the
process of elimination. Read each option carefully.
Recalling that an incident is any event that is not
consistent with the routine operation of a health care unit
or routine care of a client will direct you to the correct
option. Review the reasons for filing an incident report if
you had difficulty with this question.
