A nurse is planning interventions for a client to improve their physical wellbeing. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to do? (Select All that Apply.)

A. Professional identity refers to how an individual sees themselves within their profession and how they align with the values, ethics, and roles associated with their field. It is more directly related to engagement and commitment rather than identity formation.
B. Professional commitment involves dedication to the profession and a willingness to advance the field, adhere to ethical standards, and engage in ongoing learning and development. Joining a professional organization is a strong example of professional commitment, as it demonstrates a nurse’s dedication to staying informed, participating in professional development, and contributing to the advancement of their profession.
C. Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to ensure safety and compliance within the healthcare setting. While professional organizations may provide resources and support related to risk management, joining such an organization is not primarily about managing risk.
D. Quality improvement focuses on enhancing patient care and healthcare processes through systematic efforts to improve outcomes and efficiency. Joining a professional organization can support quality improvement by providing access to best practices and research, but the primary purpose of membership is not specifically to engage in quality improvement activities.

A. While acting as a mediator between the client and the provider is an important aspect of advocacy and communication, it is not directly related to accountability. Mediation involves facilitating communication and resolving conflicts, which are important for effective care but do not specifically address taking responsibility for one's own actions and decisions.
B. This is an example of accountability. Following the rights of medication administration—such as checking the right patient, medication, dose, route, and time—is a critical responsibility of the nurse. Ensuring that these rights are adhered to demonstrates accountability in medication management, as the nurse is taking responsibility for administering medications safely and correctly.
C. Supporting a client’s right to refuse medication is an important aspect of patient autonomy and ethical practice. While it reflects respect for the client’s choices and rights, it is more related to advocacy and ethical principles rather than directly demonstrating accountability for one’s own actions.

D. Ensuring that a client understands the adverse effects of their medication involves educating the client and ensuring informed consent. This is an important aspect of patient education and care but is not solely an example of accountability. Accountability would involve taking responsibility for making sure that this education is provided correctly and thoroughly.
