address the patient’s problems. Which step of the nursing process is the nurse applying?

During the planning phase, the nurse uses the data collected to set goals or expected outcomes
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
and interventions which address the patient’s problems. The data was collected during the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
“Assessment” and “Patient problem” steps. During the “Evaluation” phase the nurse would
r r r r r r r r r r r r
determine whether the goals and objectives set during the planning phase were met.

hyperglycemia. The parents tell the nurse that they can’t keep track of everything that has to be
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
done to care for their child. The nurse reviews medications, diet, and symptom management
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
with the parents and draws up a daily checklist for the family to use. These activities are

r r r r r r r r r r r r
patient in accomplishing established medication goals.

6. The nurse reviews a patient’s database and learns that the patient lives alone, is forgetful, and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
does not have an established routine. The patient will be sent home with three new medications
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
to be taken at different times of the day. The nurse develops a daily medication chart and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
enlists a family member to put the patient’s pills in a pill organizer. This is an example of

7. A patient who is hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) wants to go
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
home. The nurse and the patient discuss the patient’s situation and decide that the patient may
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
go home when able to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia. This is an example of

which phase of the nursing process?
r r r r r r
a. Assessment
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Planning
ANS: D r
Planning involves goal setting, which, for this patient, means being able to perform self-care
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
activities without dyspnea and hypoxia.

8. A patient will be sent home with a metered-dose inhaler, and the nurse is providing teaching.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
Which is a correctly written goal for this process?
r r r r r r r r r

r r r r r r r r r r r r r

r r r r r r r r r r r r
inhaler. r
c. The patient will know how to self-administer the medication using the
r r r r r r r r r r
metered-dose inhaler.
r r
d. The patient will independently administer the medication using the metered-dose
r r r r r r r r r
inhaler at the end of the session.

Goals must be patient-centered and clearly state the outcome with a reasonable deadline and

9. The nurse is developing a plan of care for a patient who has chronic lung disease and hypoxia.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
The patient has been admitted for increased oxygen needs above a baseline of 2 L/min. The
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
nurse develops a goal stating, “The patient will have oxygen saturations of >95% on room air at
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
the time of discharge from the hospital.” What is wrong with this goal?
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
a. It cannot be evaluated.
r r r
b. It is not measurable.r r r
c. It is not patient-centered.
r r r
d. It is not realistic. r r r
ANS: D r
This goal is not realistic because the patient is not usually on room air and should not be
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
expected to attain that goal by discharge from this hospitalization.

10. The nurse is developing a teaching plan for an elderly patient who will begin taking an
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
antihypertensive drug that causes dizziness and orthostatic hypotension. Which patient
r r r r r r r r r r
problem documented by the nurse is appropriate for this patient?
r r r r r r r r r r
a. Deficient knowledge related to drug side effects r r r r r r
b. Ineffective health maintenance related to age r r r r r
c. Readiness for enhanced knowledge related to medication side effects r r r r r r r r
d. Risk for injury related to side effects of the medication
r r r r r r r r r
ANS: D r
This patient has an increased risk for injury because of drug side effects, so this is an
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
appropriate patient problem to direct the type of care and follow-up the patient will receive.

11. An older patient must learn to administer a medication using a device that requires manual
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
dexterity. The patient becomes frustrated and expresses lack of self-confidence in performing
r r r r r r r r r r r r
this task. Which action will the nurse perform next?
r r r r r r r r r
a. Ask the patient to keep trying until the skill is learned.
r r r r r r r r r r
b. Provide written instructions with illustrations showing each step of the skill.
r r r r r r r r r r
c. Schedule multiple sessions and practice each step separately. r r r r r r r
d. Teach the procedure to family members who can administer the medication for the
r r r r r r r r r r r r
patient.r
ANS: C r
Nurses should be sensitive to patient’s level of frustration when teaching skills. In this case,
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
breaking the steps down into inNdividual parts will help with this patient’s frustration level.

12. A school-age child will begin taking a medication to be administered at 5 mL three times
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
daily. The child’s parent tells the nurse that, with a previous use of the drug, the child
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
repeatedly forgot to bring the medication home from school, resulting in missed evening
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
doses. What will the nurse recommend?
r r r r r r
a. Asking the provider if the medication may be taken before school, after school,
r r r r r r r r r r r r
and at bedtime
r r r
b. Putting a note on the child’s locker to encourage the child to take responsibility for
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
medication administration
r r
c. Asking the provider if 7.5 mL may be taken in the morning and 7.5 mL may be
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
taken in the evening so that the correct amount is given daily
r r r r r r r r r r r r
d. Taking the noon dose to school every day and giving it to the school nurse to
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
administer
r
ANS: C r
For busy families with school-age children, it may be necessary to adjust the medication
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
schedule to one that fits their schedule. The nurse should ask the provider if a revised scheduleis
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
possible. In this case, the most effective revised schedule would involve not taking the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
medication while at school. Putting a note on the locker is not likely to be effective. It is not
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
correct to adjust the dose.
