A nurse is teaching about delegation with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements if made by the newly licensed nurse indicates understanding?

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. Meditation can be a valuable intervention for improving overall well-being, including physical health, by reducing stress and promoting relaxation. While its primary benefits are often psychological and emotional, reducing stress can also have positive effects on physical health, such as lowering blood pressure and improving heart health.
B. Suggesting relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided imagery, is a beneficial intervention. These techniques can help manage stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall physical health. Incorporating relaxation methods can enhance the
client’s sense of well-being and support physical health by mitigating the effects of stress on the body.
C. Ensuring that the client has access to and can select a nutritious diet is a fundamental aspect of promoting physical well-being. A balanced and nutritious diet supports overall health, helps in maintaining a healthy weight, and provides essential nutrients for bodily functions.
D. Educating the client about recommended health screenings for their age is crucial for early detection and prevention of diseases. Regular screenings can help identify potential health issues before they become serious, contributing to better long-term physical health.
E. While maintaining relationships with family is important for emotional and psychological well-being, it is not a direct intervention specifically aimed at improving physical health. Social support and strong relationships can indirectly benefit physical health by reducing stress and improving overall quality of life, but this is not a direct physical health intervention.
F. Promoting physical activity is a direct and effective intervention for improving physical well-being. Regular exercise contributes to cardiovascular health, muscle strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness. Encouraging clients to stay active supports their physical health and helps prevent or manage chronic conditions.
