NCLEX Question of the Day
Management of Care QID 548
A nurse is planning care for a patient who requires a complex dressing change. Which action should the nurse take to manage time effectively?
Explanation
To manage time effectively during a complex dressing change, the nurse should gather all necessary supplies before starting the procedure. This preparation minimizes interruptions and ensures that the dressing change can be completed efficiently. Waiting until the end of the shift, delegating the task to UAP (who are not trained for complex dressing changes), or performing the change without proper wound assessment can lead to delays in care and potential complications.
