Assessment of a Patient Nursing Practice Question
When responding to the call bell, the nurse finds the client lying on the floor beside the bed. After a thorough assessment and appropriate care, the nurse completes an incident report. How should the incident be described in the report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The incident report should contain the client's name, age, and diagnosis. It should contain a factual description of the incident, any injuries experienced by those involved, and the outcome of the situation. The correct option is the only option that describes the facts as observed by the nurse. All the remaining options are interpretations of the situation and are not factual data as observed by the nurse.
