1. Complete a computerized tutorial on client safety
2. Read information on safety from a web site
3. Review the online hospital policies about client safety

Question 3

Type: MCSA

A client tells the nurse about researching on the Internet for information about a newly prescribed medication. What should the nurse respond to the client?

1. “I’m glad you’re interested in your therapy.”
2. “Information on the Internet cannot be trusted. You should check with your pharmacist.”
3. “Your physician is the one you should be asking these kinds of questions.”
4. “Let’s look at some of the sites you’ve been visiting.”

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Although being involved in one’s care is desirable, there are concerns related to information accessed on the Internet.

Rationale 2: This statement is not necessarily true, although there are concerns about information accessed on the Internet.

Rationale 3: Although this statement isn’t incorrect, the client should be able to access reliable information in order to be well informed.

Rationale 4: Thousands of health-related sites exist on the Internet, with new ones occurring daily. There are no controls to ensure that information provided on these sites is accurate. Therefore, the nurse should help the client find reliable and accurate information. Clients are involved consumers. Wanting more information about their medications, disease processes, and treatment options is taking a proactive approach to their own care. It is appropriate to ask questions and seek information from a variety of sources. However, nurses must assist clients in making sure the information they gather is credible and accurate.
