, 4) A 7-year-old child is admitted for acute appendicitis. The parents are questioning the nurse
about expectations during the child's recovery. Which information tool would be most useful
in answering a parent's questions about the timing of key events?
1. Healthy People 2020
2. Clinical pathways
3. Child mortality statistics
4. National clinical practice
guidelinesAnswer: 2
Explanation: 1. Clinical pathways are interdisciplinary documents provided by a hospital to
suggest ideal sequencing and timing of events and interventions for specific diseases to improve
efficiency of care and enhance recovery. This pathway serves as a model outlining the typical
hospital stay for individuals with specified conditions. Healthy People 2020 contains objectives
set by the U.S. government to improve the health and reduce the incidence of death in the
R
twenty-first century. Child mortality statistics can be compared with those from other decades for
the evaluation of achievement toward health-care goals. National clinical practice guidelines
E
promote uniformity in care for specific disease conditions by suggesting expected outcomes from
U
specific interventions.
