medium · NCLEX-RN Management of Care
During a handoff of an organ donor, the outgoing RN states, 'The client is stable on the current pressors.'
Why is this statement considered 'unsafe-action pattern' communication?
- It implies that the client could improve, which is impossible after a brain death declaration
- It uses the word 'pressors' instead of the specific drug names like norepinephrine
- It fails to mention the family's current location and emotional state
- It lacks objective markers, specific titration targets, and explicit stop conditions
