A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about workplace bullying. Which of the following should the nurse include in the discussion as an example of workplace bullying?

A. Documenting communication with a provider in the progress notes of the client's medical record: Proper documentation of provider communication is standard nursing practice and does not constitute malpractice. It helps ensure continuity of care and legal protection.

B. Placing a yellow bracelet on a client who is at risk for falls: Implementing fall precautions, such as using a yellow wristband, is an appropriate safety measure and standard of care, not malpractice.

C. Administering potassium via IV bolus: Administering potassium as a rapid IV push is extremely dangerous and can cause cardiac arrest. This action violates the standard of care and constitutes malpractice due to potential harm to the client.

D. Leaving a nasogastric tube clamped after administering oral medication: A nasogastric (NG) tube is often clamped for a short period after administering medication to allow the medication to be absorbed. The nurse's action would only be considered negligent if they left the tube clamped for a prolonged period.

A. Urinary output 20 mL/hr: A urinary output less than 30 mL/hr in an adult indicates potential renal hypoperfusion or urinary retention. This is a priority finding that should be reported to the provider promptly.

B. Serous drainage on abdominal dressing: Serous drainage is a normal postoperative finding, indicating normal wound healing and fluid exudate. It does not require immediate provider notification.

C. Temperature 37.6° C (99.7° F): This temperature is slightly elevated but within the expected postoperative range due to the inflammatory response. It does not indicate an urgent complication.

D. Blood pressure 100/70 mm Hg: This blood pressure is within normal limits for many adults and is not necessarily concerning in a postoperative context unless accompanied by other symptoms such as tachycardia or dizziness.
