The patient from India tells the nurse that, in addition to his conventional medical treatment, he would also like to be treated according to the principles of Ayurvedic medicine. The nurse plans care based on which understanding of the focus of Ayurvedic medicine?

The bedside nurse delegates vital signs checks to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) every four hours. Prior to the 1200 vital sign check, the UAP has a family emergency and leaves the unit without informing the nurse. As a result, the 1200 vitals are not completed. Who is responsible for this lapse in care?

The nurse is assigned several patients on the surgical floor. He calls the provider and says, “Hi there, the post-op day 1 in bed 14 asked me to call and request an order for increased dosage of his IV pain medication. His blood pressure has been consistently elevated and he has been tachycardic for the last 3 hours. Would you consider adding an adjuvant pain control medication?” Which aspect of this SBAR communication is most appropriate?
