A. This is not one of the core principles of shared governance. While financial considerations are important in healthcare, they are not a foundational element of shared governance.
B. Navigation refers to the ability to guide or steer through complex systems, such as healthcare processes, policies, or organizational structures. In the context of shared governance, navigating through the decision-making process is essential.
C. This principle emphasizes the importance of compassionate and patient-centered care. It underscores the nursing profession's core value of caring for patients.
D. This principle refers to the nurses' knowledge and expertise. It highlights the importance of professional development and the use of evidence-based practice.
E. This principle emphasizes the nurse's role as a leader and follower within the healthcare team. It involves empowerment, autonomy, accountability, and collaboration.

A. A client who is easily distracted during art therapy may benefit from being near the nurses' station if their distraction could lead to issues with concentration or focus that might impact their therapy.
However, this is less of a priority compared to clients with higher risks related to safety or behavioral issues. This client’s needs are more about support and engagement in therapy rather than immediate safety monitoring.
B. Clients with frequent anger outbursts can pose a risk to themselves and others. Having them in a room near the nurses' station allows for closer monitoring and quick intervention if their behavior escalates. This placement helps ensure safety and provides immediate access to staff if the client becomes agitated or poses a threat.
C. A client who has threatened to kill themselves requires close observation to ensure their safety and prevent self-harm. Placing this client in a room near the nurses' station allows for constant monitoring and immediate intervention if the client’s condition worsens or if they attempt self-harm. This is a high priority for safety and supervision.
D. A client who has engaged in cutting behaviors is at risk for self-harm. Placing this client near the nurses' station is important for ensuring close observation and timely intervention to prevent further self-injury. This helps in providing a safer environment and immediate support if the client shows signs of distress or attempts self-harm.
E. A client who cannot sit still at breakfast might need supervision to ensure they eat properly and safely. However, this need is less critical compared to clients with high risks of self-harm or aggressive behaviors. While this client may benefit from being in a more monitored area, it is not as urgent as the needs of clients with significant safety concerns.
