Management of Care (9)
Advance Directives/Self-Determination/Life Planning (1)
Professional Responsibilities: Client Teaching About Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders
(Active Learning Template Basic Concept, RM Leadership 7.0 Chp. 3)
Unless a do not resuscitate (DNR) or allow natural death (AND) prescription is
written, the nurse should initiate CPR when a client has no pulse or respirations.
The written prescription for a DNR or AND must be placed in the client’s medical
record. The provider consults the client and the family prior to administering a
DNR or AND.
Client Rights (1)
Coordinating Client Care: Appropriate Action When a Client Leaves Against Medical
Advice (Active Learning Template Basic Concept, RM Leadership 7.0 Chp. 2)
A client who leaves a facility without a prescription for discharge from the
provider is considered leaving against medical advice (AMA). A client who is
legally competent has the legal right to leave the facility at any time. The nurse
should immediately notify the provider. If the client is at risk for harm, it is
imperative that the nurse explain the risk involved in leaving the facility. The
individual should sign a form relinquishing responsibility for any complications
that arise from discontinuing prescribed care. The nurse should document all
communication, as well as the specific advice that was provided for the client. A
nurse who tries to prevent the client from leaving the facility can face legal
charges of assault, battery, and false imprisonment.
Collaboration with Interdisciplinary Team (1)
Coordinating Client Care: Information to Report to Occupational Therapist (Active

Patient’s condition and current status; any medications the patient is on; patient’s
tolerance level for pain; any assistive devices the patient uses

It is essential for nurses to be aware of the rights of clients in regard to privacy
and confidentiality. Facility policies and procedures are established in order to
ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations. It is essential that nurses know and
adhere to the policies and procedures. HIPAA regulations also provide for
penalties in the event of noncompliance with the regulations.

  • Standards of care guide, define, and direct the level of care that should be given by practicing nurses. They also are used in malpractice lawsuits to determine if that level was maintained. Nurses should refuse to practice beyond the legal scope of practice and/or outside of their areas of competence regardless of reason (staffing shortage, lack of appropriate personnel). Nurses should use the formal chain of command to verbalize concerns related to assignment in light of current legal scope of practice, job description, and area of competence. ➢ Performance Improvement (Quality Improvement) – (1) ▪ Maintaining a Safe Environment: Demonstrating Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Competencies (Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM Leadership 7.0 Chp. 4)
  • Safe use of equipment refers to appropriate operation of health care-related equipment by trained staff. Equipment-related injuries can occur as a result of malfunction, disrepair, or mishandling of mechanical equipment. Nurses must ensure that they have the competence necessary to use equipment for tasks that fall within their scope of practice. Nurses should use equipment only after receiving sufficient instruction. Equipment should be regularly inspected by the engineering or maintenance department and by the user prior to use. Faulty equipment (frayed cords, disrepair) can start a fire or cause an electrical shock and should be removed from use and reported immediately per agency policy. ➢ Referrals – (2) ▪ Alzheimer’s Disease: Resources for Home Care (Active Learning Template – System Disorder, RM AMS RN 10.0 Chp 8)

  • Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is a personal choice made by the newborn’s family for reasons of health and hygiene, religious conviction (Jewish male on eighth day after birth), tradition, culture, or social norms. Parents should make a well-informed decision in consultation with the provider. Circumcision should not be done immediately following birth because the newborn’s level of vitamin K is at a low point, and the newborn would be at risk for hemorrhage. ➢ Health Promotion/Disease Prevention – (2) ▪ Pediatric Emergencies: Planning Education About Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM NCC RN 10.0 Chp 43)

Be prepared to suction oral secretions. Turn the client to the side to decrease the risk of aspiration. Loosen restrictive clothing. Do not attempt to restrain the client, or open the jaw or insert airway during seizure activity (can damage teeth, lips, and tongue). Do not use padded tongue blades.
