2. The patient is to receive oral furosemide (lasix) every day; however, bec ause
the patient is unable to swallow, he cannot take medication orally, as ordered.
The nurse needs to contact the physician. What type of problem is this?
A. A “right time” problem
B. A “right dose” problem
C. A “right route” problem
D. A “right medication” problem
,Correct ans>>c
This is a “right route” problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must
clarify the route with the prescriber. This is not a “right time” problem because
the ordered frequency has not changed. This is not a “right dose” problem
because the dose is not related to an inability to swal low. This is not a “right
medication” problem because the medication ordered will not change, just the
route.
Dif: cognitive level: application

since the first dose and has been documenting sig ns of possible adverse effects.
What nursing process phase is the nurse practising?

patient?
A. The patient will follow instructions.
, B. The patient will not experience complications.
C. The patient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.
D. The patient demonstrates safe insulin self-administration technique.
Correct ans>>d
Having the patient demonstrate safe insulin self -administration technique is a
specific and measurable outcome criterion. Following instructions and avoiding
complications are not specific criteria. Adherence to the new insulin treatment
regimen is not objective and would be difficult to measure.
Dif: cognitive level: application
5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process
for the patient who is newly diagnosed with t ype 1 diabetes mellitus?
A. Providing education regarding self-injection technique
B. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient’s input
C. Recording a history of over-the-counter medications used at home
D. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficits related to the
new treatment regimen
Correct ans>>a
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase.
Setting goals and outcome criteria reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug
history reflects the assessment phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding a
knowledge deficit reflects analysis of data as part of the planning phase.
