A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about the interlocking principles of shared governance. Which of the following principles should the nurse include? (select all that apply)

Choice A: This is the correct answer. A portal is a secure online platform that enables clients to access their health information, communicate with their providers, request appointments, refill prescriptions, and more. This enhances client satisfaction, engagement, and empowerment.
Choice B: This is incorrect. Same day access to client health record is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a requirement for any documentation system. Clients have the right to access their health information within a reasonable time frame, regardless of whether it is paper-based or electronic.
Choice C: This is incorrect. The increase of duplicate tests performed on client is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Duplicate tests can result from poor communication, lack of interoperability, or human error. Electronic documentation can help reduce duplicate tests by facilitating data sharing, standardizing formats, and alerting providers of previous tests.
Choice D: This is incorrect. Decrease in coordination of client care is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Coordination of client care is essential for ensuring quality, safety, and continuity of care. Electronic documentation can improve coordination of client care by allowing multiple providers to access and update the same information, enabling real-time collaboration, and providing decision support tools.

Choice A reason: Obtaining a detailed history is the first action that the nurse should take. History can help the nurse determine the cause, frequency, and severity of the bruises, as well as the child's relationship with the abuser and the risk of further harm. History can also help the nurse assess the child's physical and emotional state, and provide evidence for reporting the abuse later.
Choice B reason: Reporting the suspected abuse to the authorities is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should report the abuse only after obtaining a history and confirming the suspicion. Reporting the abuse prematurely can jeopardize the child's safety and the nurse's credibility. The nurse should also follow the legal and ethical guidelines for reporting abuse in their jurisdiction.
Choice C reason: Requesting a social services referral is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should request a social services referral only after reporting the abuse and ensuring the child's protection. A social services referral can help the child access resources and support, such as counseling, legal aid, foster care, etc. The nurse should also collaborate with the social worker and other members of the interdisciplinary team to provide holistic care for the child.
Choice D reason: Telling the child what will happen to her when the abuse is reported is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should tell the child what will happen to her only after obtaining a history and reporting the abuse. The nurse should also use age-appropriate language and reassure the child that the abuse is not her fault and that she is not alone. The nurse should avoid making promises that they cannot keep, such as saying that the abuser will never hurt her again.
