A nurse is teaching a class about professionalism. The nurse should include that joining a professional organization is an example of which of the following?

A. The hospital supervisor is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the hospital, including staff management. However, in the immediate chain of command, the supervisor might not be the first point of contact for specific unit issues unless the concern escalates beyond the unit level.
B. The charge nurse is the immediate supervisor on the unit and is usually the first point of contact for issues related to staff behavior or performance. Reporting the concern to the charge nurse is appropriate because they have the responsibility to oversee the staff on the unit, address concerns, and ensure the safety and well-being of both patients and staff. The charge nurse can assess the situation and take appropriate action, such as further investigation or reporting to higher authorities.
C. The unit director is responsible for overall management and administration of the unit, including staff issues. While the unit director is a higher level of authority than the charge nurse, it is often appropriate to first report to the charge nurse, who is closer to the situation and can address it more immediately.
D. The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) is a top executive responsible for nursing practices across the entire hospital or healthcare system. Reporting directly to the CNO is generally not the first step in the chain of command for concerns about a coworker’s impairment.

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.
