Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Advanced technology in health care, like integrated health records, has enabled nurses to efficiently track patients' vital signs. This capability helps nurses monitor patients' health status closely and make informed decisions regarding their care. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because technology does not replace the vital role of nurses in conducting assessments, ordering medications (typically done by prescribers), or collecting blood samples.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Client was trying to get out of bed." This statement accurately reflects the sequence of events leading to the client's fall and provides crucial information for assessing the situation. Choice A is incorrect because documenting the completion of an incident report is not relevant to describing the incident itself. Choice B incorrectly states that the client climbed over the side rails, which is not supported by the information provided. Choice D is too vague and does not provide details about the client's actions prior to falling.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Quantum. The quantum theory of leadership addresses complexity in organizations, making it suitable for the challenges posed by the current health care delivery systems. Servant leadership (choice B) focuses on serving others rather than traditional hierarchies, but it is not specifically tailored to address complexities. Autocratic leadership (choice C) and Democratic leadership (choice D) are more traditional styles that may not be as effective in handling the intricacies of modern health care systems.

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increase the client's intake of carbohydrates. Adequate nutrition, including carbohydrates, is essential for tissue repair and preventing skin breakdown.

Massaging areas of darker skin (choice C) can cause further damage to the skin. Using a trapeze bar (choice D) may assist with changing positions but does not directly address skin breakdown prevention.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The chaos theory explains that organizations are made up of intertwined links and diversified choices that generate unanticipated consequences.

Choice B, Closed system theory, suggests that organizations are self-contained and do not interact with their environment. Choice C, Open system theory, emphasizes that organizations interact with their environment but does not specifically address intertwined links and diversified choices generating unanticipated consequences.
