The On-Coming NurseNeeds To Take Action To Ensure That Others Are Not Prejudiced
Against The Patient. Humor Can Be Appropriate Within The Privacy Of A Shift Report But Not
At The Expense Of Respect For Patients.

Depression.
c. You Will Feel Better After We Get Some Antidepressant Medication Started For You.
d. Id Like To Sit With You A While So You May Feel More Comfortable Talking

, Site Is MaintainedBy A Government Entity. .Org Indicates That The Site Is Nonproprietary; The
Site May Or May Not Have Reliable Information, But It Does Not Profit From Its Activities.
.Net Can Have Multiple
Meanings.

Their Attention; However, I Read A Descriptive Research Study That Says That This Approach
Does Not Work.I Plan To Stop Calling Patients By Name. Which Statement Is The Best
Appraisal Of This Nurses Comment?
a. One Descriptive Research Study Rarely Provides Enough Evidence To Change Practice.
b. Staff Nurses Apply New Research Findings Only With The Help From Clinical Nurse
Specialists.
c. New Research Findings Should Be Incorporated Into Clinical Algorithms Before Using
Them InPractice.
d. The Nurse Misinterpreted The Results Of The Study. Classic Tenets Of Practice Do Not
Change.
ANSWER: A
Descriptive Research Findings Provide Evidence For Practice But Must Be Viewed In Relation
To Other Studies Before Practice Changes. One Study Is Not Enough. Descriptive Studies Are
Low On The Hierarchy Of Evidence. Clinical Algorithms Use Flow Charts To Manage
Problems And Do Not Specify One Response To A Clinical Problem. Classic Tenets Of
Practice Should Change As ResearchFindings Provide Evidence For Change.
