,MULTIPLE CHOICE yi

1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

dischargegoals will be developed with the patient‗s input. The patient asks, ―How is this
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

different fromwhat the physician does?‖ Which response would the nurse provide?
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

a. ―The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

prescribedby your physician.‖
yi yi yi yi

b. ―In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

tomaintain your health.‖
yi yi yi yi

c. ―The nurse‗s job is to collect information and communicate any problems
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

thatoccur to the physician.‖
yi yi yi yi yi

d. ―Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the physician, but nurses
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

are with the patients for a longer time than the physician.‖
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

ANS: B yi

The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing describes the role of nurses
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

inpromoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of
yi i
y yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse‗s unique role in the health care
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

system.

2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

a. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

b. ―Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.‖
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

c. ―Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning patient care.‖
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

patient preferences.‖
yi yi

ANS: D yi

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

withclinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Clinical judgment
yi i
y yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

based on the nurse‗s clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

patient outcomes isimportant, but data analysis is not required to use EBP. All
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

published articles do not provide research evidence; interventions should be based on
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

credible research, preferably randomizedcontrolled studies with a large number of
yi yi yi yi i
y yi yi yi yi yi yi

subjects.

3. Which statement by the nurse provides a clear explanation of the nursing process?
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

careproblems.‖
yi yi

b. ―The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

otherhealth care professionals.‖
yi yi yi yi

patients‗ health care needs.‖ yi yi yi

d. ―The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

yi thebiopsychosocial nature of humans.‖
yi yi yi yi

ANS: C yi

The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

of patients‗ problems. Nursing process does not require research methods for diagnosis.
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

The primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

or explainnursing interventions to other health care professionals.

yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

d. Call the patient‗s parents to determine whether adequate child care is
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

beingprovided.
yi yi

ANS: C yi

Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

an appropriate intervention, the nurse‗s first action should be to obtain more
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

information. The other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed
yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi

before the best interventioncan be chosen.
