Chapter 01: Introduction to Medical -Surgical Nursing Practice in Canada Lewis: Medical -Surgical Nursing in Canada, 5th Canadian Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. When caring for clients using evidence -informed practice, which of the following does the nurse use? a. Clinical judgement based on experience b. Evidence from a clinical research study c. The best available evidence to guide clinical expertise d. Evaluation of data showing that the client outcomes are met ANS: C Evidence -informed nursing practice is a continuous in teractive process involving the explicit, conscientious, and judicious consideration of the best available evidence to provide care. Four primary elements are: (a) clinical state, setting, and circumstances; (b) client preferences and actions; (c) best research evidence; and (d) health care resources. Clinical judgement based on the nurse’s clinical experience is part of EIP, but clinical decision making also should incorporate current research and research -based guidelines. Evidence from one clinical resea rch study does not provide an adequate substantiation for interventions. Evaluation of client outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with a large number of subjects. DIF: Cognitive Level: Compre hension TOP: Nursing Process: Planning 2. Which of the following best NexplRainsIthe nuBrs.esC’ prMimary use of the nursing process when providing care to clients? a. To explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals b. As a problem -solving tool to identify and treat clients’ health care needs c. As a scientific -based process of diagnosing the client’s health care problems d. To establish nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of humans ANS: B The nursing process is an assertive problem -solving approach to the identification and treatment of clients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of the nursing process is in client care, not to establish nursing theory or explain nursing in terventions to other health care professionals. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation 3. The nurse is caring for a critically ill client in the intensive care unit and plans an every 2-hour turning schedule to prevent skin breakdown. Which type of nursing function is demonstrated with this turning schedule? a. Dependent b. Cooperative c. Independent d. Collaborative ANS: D When implementing collaborative nursing actions, the nurse is responsible primarily for monitoring for complicati ons of acute illness or providing care to prevent or treat complications. Independent nursing actions are focused on health promotion, illness prevention, and client advocacy. A dependent action would require a physician order to implement. Cooperative nursing functions are not described as one of the formal nursing functions. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation 4. The nurse is caring for a client who has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, “I do n ot feel right about leaving my children with my neighbour.” Which action should the nurse take next? a. Reassure the client that these feelings are common for parents. b. Have the client call the children to ensure that they are doing well. c. Call the neighbour to determine whether adequate childcare is being provided. d. Gather more data about the client’s feelings about the childcare arrangements. ANS: D Since a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an appropriate intervention, t he nurse’s first action should be to obtain more information. The other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention can be chosen. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment 5. The nurse is caring for a client who has left-sided paralysis as the result of a stroke and assesses a pressure injury onNtheRclieInt’sGleftBh.ipC. WMhich of the following is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis fUor tShis cNlienTt? O a. Impaired physical mobility related to decrease in muscle control (left-sided paralysis) b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity as evidenced by insufficient knowledge about protecting tissue integrity c. Impaired skin integrity related to pressure over bony prominence (impaired circulation) d. Ineffe ctive tissue perfusion related to sedentary lifestyle ANS: C The client’s major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of a pressure injury. The nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by frequen tly repositioning the client. Although left -sided weakness is a problem for the client, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The “risk for” diagnosis is not appropriate for this client, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The client does have ineffe ctive tissue perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the health problem is. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application TOP: Nursing Process: Diagnosis 6. The nurse caring for a client with an infection has a nursing diagnosis o f deficient fluid volume related to excessive diaphoresis. Which of the following is an appropriate client outcome? a. Client has a balanced intake and output. b. Client’s bedding is changed when it becomes damp. U S N T O c. Client understands the need for increased fluid intake. d. Client’s skin remains cool and dry throughout hospitalization. ANS: A This statement gives measurable data showing resolution of the problem of deficient fluid volume that was identified in the nursing diagnosis statement. The other statements would not indicate that the problem of deficient fluid volume was resolved. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application TOP: Nursing Process: Planning 7. Which of the following represents a nursing activity that is carried out during the evaluation phase of the nursing pr ocess? a. Determining if interventions have been effective in meeting client outcomes b. Documenting the nursing care plan in the progress notes in the medical record c. Deciding whether the client’s health problems have been completely resolved d. Asking the client t o evaluate whether the nursing care provided was satisfactory ANS: A Evaluation consists of determining whether the desired client outcomes have been met and whether the nursing interventions were appropriate. The other responses do not describe the evalua tion phase. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension TOP: Nursing Process: Evaluation 8. Which of the following would the nurse perform during the assessment phase of the nursing process? a. Obtains data with which to diagnose client problems b. Uses client data to develoNp pRriorIity nGursBin.g CdiagMnoses c. Teaches interventions to relieve client health problems d. Assists the client to identify realistic outcomes to health problems ANS: A During the assessment phase, the nurse gathers information about the client. The ot her responses are examples of the intervention, diagnosis, and planning phases of the nursing process. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment 9. Which of the following is an example of a correctly written nursing diagnosis statement? a. Altered tissue perfusion related to heart failure b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to sacral redness c. Ineffective coping related to insufficient sense of control. d. Altered urinary elimination related to urinary tract infection ANS: C This diagnosi s statement includes a NANDA nursing diagnosis and an etiology that describes a client’s response to a health problem that can be treated by nursing. The use of a medical diagnosis (as in the responses beginning “Altered tissue perfusion” and “Altered urin ary elimination”) is not appropriate. The response beginning “Risk for impaired tissue integrity” uses the defining characteristics as the etiology. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension TOP: Nursing Process: Diagnosis U S N T O 10. Which of the following includes the components required for a complete nursing diagnosis statement? a. A problem and the suggested client goals or outcomes b. A problem, its cause, and objective data that support the problem c. A problem with all its possible causes and the planned interventions d. A problem with its etiology and the signs and symptoms of the problem ANS: D The PES format is used when writing nursing diagnoses. The subjective, as well as objective, data should be included in the defining characteristics. Interventions and outcomes are no t included in the nursing diagnosis statement. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge TOP: Nursing Process: Diagnosis 11. Which of the following refers to a situation that results in unintended harm to the client and is related to the care or services provided rathe r than the client’s medical condition? a. Negligence b. Adverse event c. Incident report d. Nonmaleficence ANS: B An adverse event is an event that results in unintended harm to the client and is related to the care or services provided to the client rather than to the client’s underlying medical condition. 12. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge TOP: Nursing Process: Evaluation N R I G B.C M When using the Five Steps of the evidence -informed practice (EIP) Process, which of the flowing elements is the final step when constructing a clinical question? a. Comparison of interest b. Population of interest c. Outcome of interest d. Timeframe of interest ANS: D The order of the nurse’s statements follows the PICOT format with the final step being the “T”, or timeframe of interest.
