b. Structure, process, and outcome are the foundation domains of the model.
c. The perioperative nurse is the central dynamic core of the model.
d. The interrelated nursing process rings bind the patient to the model.
ANS: A
The Perioperative Patient Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern:
nursing diagnoses, nursing interventions, and patient outcomes. These domains are in
continuous interaction with the health system that encircles the focus of perioperative nursing
practice—the patient.
REF: p. 3

Nursing Practice that describes nursing interactions, interventions, and activities with patients
falls under which standards category?

c. Outcome
d. Structural
ANS: B
Process standards relate to nursing activities, interventions, and interactions. They are used to
explicate clinical, professional, and quality objectives in perioperative nursing.
REF: p. 3
3. Which order best describes the process used to implement evidence-based professional
nursing?
a. Literature search, theory review, data analysis, policy development
b. Regional survey, literature search, meta-analysis, practice change
c. Identify problem, scientific evidence, develop policy, evaluate outcome
d. Identify issue, analyze scientific evidence, implement change, evaluate process
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an issue, to

4. The ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin preparation practice
for their unit. The best process to gather scientific information is to:
a. conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next AORN chapter meeting.
b. review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
c. conduct a literature search on antimicrobial agents and infection prevention.
d. review the scientific literature from the leading manufacturers of prep solutions.
ANS: C
Perioperative nurses have an ethical responsibility to review practices and to modify them
based upon the best available scientific evidence. Using research to guide practice is called
evidence-based practice (EBP).
REF: p. 10
5. The cardiac team is developing a standardized sterile back table setup and is unable to find
sufficient research evidence for their project. Where might they look for information on best
practices?
a. Survey regional surgical technology programs for their back table models
b. Review case studies and expert opinions on sterile back table setups
c. Review AORN’s Standards and Recommended Practices on sterilization
d. Consult with facility instrument vendor representatives for their advice
ANS: B
When there is not enough evidence to guide practice, perioperative nurses should consider
gathering information from varied trusted sources that reflect best practices.
REF: pp. 10-11
6. How do institutional standards of care, such as policies and procedures, differ from national
standards, such as AORN’s Standards of Perioperative Nursing Practice?
a. They are written by nurses.
b. They are written specifically to address responsibilities and circumstances.
c. They are collaborative and collective agreement statements.
d. They are rarely based on research.
ANS: B
Institutional standards apply to the system or facility that develops them and can be directive
about specific actions in specific circumstances; national standards provide generalized
authoritative statements that can be implemented in all settings.
REF: p. 10
7. Which of the following actions best describes an element of the perioperative nursing
assessment?
a. Scanning the surgical schedule for the day before morning report
b. Reading the pick/preference list attached to the case cart

Assessment is the collection and analysis of relevant health data about the patient. Sources of
data may be a preoperative interview with the patient and the patient’s family; review of the
planned surgical or invasive procedure; review of the patient’s medical record; examination of
the results of diagnostic tests; and consultation with the surgeon and anesthesia provider, unit
nurses, or other personnel.
REF: p. 3
8. A frail 76-year-old diabetic woman is scheduled for major surgery. She is vulnerable and at
high risk for harm because of several factors related to her preexisting conditions and overall
health status. As part of developing a plan to guide her care, the nurse uses standardized
descriptive terms. This step of the nursing process is called:
a. nursing diagnosis.
b. nursing assessment.
c. nursing outcome.
d. nursing intervention.
ANS: A
Nursing diagnosis is the process of identifying and classifying data collected in the
assessment in a way that provides a focus to plan nursing care.
REF: p. 5

and responding with critical thinking and orderly action to changes in the surgical procedure,
patient condition, or emergencies. Implementation is the “work” of nursing.
REF: p. 6
10. While conducting the preoperative interview with a patient scheduled for a septoplasty, the
perioperative nurse learned that the patient was latex sensitive. Based on this knowledge, the
