A nurse needs assistance transferring an elderly, confused client to bed. The nurse leaves the client to find someone to assist her with the transfer. While the nurse is gone, the client falls and hurts herself. The nurse is at fault because she hasn’t（）
A. properly educated this client about safety measures.
B. restrained the client.
C. documented that she left the client.
D. arranged for continual care of the client.
参考答案：D
解析：
By leaving the client, the nurse is at fault for abandonment. The better course of action is to turn on the call bell or elicit help on the way to the client’s room. Educating the client about safety measures doesn’t alleviate the nurse from responsibility for ensuring the client’s safety. The nurse can’t restrain the client without a physician’s order and restraints won’t ensure the client’s safety. Documenting that she left the client doesn’t excuse the nurse from her responsibility for ensuring the client’s safety.
