This option is incorrect because requiring attendance at an in-service provides additional instruction but does not evaluate whether the assistive personnel understands and can correctly perform the mechanical lift transfer after the teaching has been reinforced.

This option is incorrect because assigning the assistive personnel to work with a senior staff member offers supervision and support, but it does not assess the AP’s independent understanding or ability to safely use the lift on their own.

This option is incorrect because completing skills modules reinforces knowledge but does not demonstrate the AP’s ability to apply the teaching correctly during real client transfers.

This option is incorrect because notifying the risk management department is an administrative and follow-up responsibility. While it is important for documentation and quality improvement, it should only be done after the client has been assessed, stabilized, and appropriate care has been initiated.

This option is incorrect because moving the client back to bed without first assessing for injuries could exacerbate a fracture, dislocation, or spinal injury. The nurse must determine whether it is safe to move the client and whether additional help or equipment is required before repositioning.

This option is incorrect because addressing the environmental hazard, such as drying the floor and posting warning signs, helps prevent future incidents but does not address the immediate needs of the injured client. Client assessment and safety take priority over environmental and preventive measures.

This option is incorrect because wearing a surgical mask is not required when caring for a client with Clostridium difficile (C. diff). C. diff is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, primarily through contact with contaminated surfaces or hands, not through airborne droplets. Masks are not necessary unless there is a risk of splashing bodily fluids.

This option is incorrect because alcohol-based hand sanitizers, including chlorhexidine, are not effective against C. diff spores. Hand hygiene should be performed with soap and water, which mechanically removes the spores from the hands.

This option is incorrect because a positive airflow room is used for clients who are immunocompromised and need protection from airborne pathogens, not for isolation of infectious clients like those with C. diff.

This option is incorrect because a social worker assists clients with psychosocial needs, community resources, or discharge planning. While helpful in addressing social or environmental concerns, a social worker does not provide direct interventions for physical limitations related to bathing or daily living activities.

This option is incorrect because a speech-language pathologist evaluates and treats communication and swallowing disorders. Difficulty with bathing is not within their scope of practice.

This option is incorrect because a respiratory therapist focuses on managing clients’ respiratory needs, such as oxygen therapy, ventilator management, and breathing exercises. They do not assist with activities of daily living like bathing.

This option is incorrect because it is aggressive. Threatening termination creates fear and defensiveness, which can damage the working relationship and does not promote a constructive resolution.

This option is incorrect because it is passive-aggressive. Focusing on how others feel and making generalized statements about staff dislike may embarrass the nurse and is not a professional or direct way to address the behavior.

This option is incorrect because it is passive. Expressing personal disappointment emphasizes feelings rather than the professional impact of the behavior, which may lead to guilt without motivating change or addressing the actual concern about client care

This option is incorrect because transactional leadership focuses on rewards and punishments to achieve compliance. While it can maintain order, it may not inspire staff motivation or engagement in continuous quality improvement initiatives.

This option is incorrect because laissez-faire leadership provides minimal guidance or direction. Staff may feel unsupported or unclear about expectations, which can negatively affect client care and unit performance.

This option is incorrect because authoritarian leadership involves strict control and decision-making by the manager with little input from staff. While it may ensure compliance in urgent situations, it generally decreases staff motivation, creativity, and engagement, which can hinder efforts to improve quality of care.

This option is incorrect as the first step because discussing the situation with the facility administrator may be necessary eventually, but initial action should involve objective documentation of observed behaviors rather than immediate reporting or action.

This option is incorrect because imposing a suspension without investigation or objective evidence is premature, may violate facility policy, and could have legal consequences. Correct procedure requires documentation and adherence to established protocols for suspected impairment.

This option is incorrect because counseling the nurse before gathering documented evidence may not be appropriate. The nurse manager must follow facility policy, which typically starts with documentation and reporting to ensure safety and legal compliance, rather than immediately providing informal counseling.

This option is incorrect because posting a video of a staff member dancing in the surgical suite after clients have been moved does not involve client information. While it may be unprofessional, it is not a breach of patient confidentiality.

This option is incorrect because posting a statement about staffing issues at a previous workplace does not disclose any current client information. Although it could be considered unprofessional or defamatory, it does not violate confidentiality.

This option is incorrect because blogging about a provider under investigation does not involve patient information. It could pose legal or professional risks, but it is not a breach of client confidentiality.
