    For telephone reporting of critical tests results, the receiving individual should:

    • Record and "read back" the complete test result

    • Memorize the values and document the information when they are not busy

    • Hand the phone to the Unit Coordinator to record and report the information

    Correct Answer
    A. Record and "read back" the complete test result
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to record and "read back" the complete test result. This is important in order to ensure accurate communication of critical test results over the phone. By recording the result, the receiving individual can refer back to it if needed and by "reading back" the result, they can confirm that they have understood and relayed the information correctly. This helps to prevent any errors or miscommunication that could potentially have serious consequences.

ISBAR and SBAR are both communication tools that provide a structured framework for effective and concise communication during hand-offs. These tools help ensure that important information is accurately and efficiently transferred between healthcare professionals, reducing the risk of errors and improving patient safety. By adopting these tools, the hospital is promoting clear and standardized communication practices among its staff.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Impementing a Fall Reduction Program." NPSG #2 refers to the National Patient Safety Goal #2, which focuses on improving communication among healthcare providers. Reading back Verbal Orders, Creating a List of Abbreviations Not to Use, and Managing Hand-Off Communications are all examples of practices that promote effective communication and are aligned with NPSG #2. However, implementing a Fall Reduction Program is not directly related to communication and does not fall under NPSG #2.
