MULTIPLE RESPONSES

1. The Perioperative Client Focused Model presents key components of nursing influence that guide client
care. Select thestatement that best describes the dynamic relationship within the model.
 The client experience and the nursing presence are in continuous interaction.
 Structure, process, and outcome are the foundation domains of the model.
 The perioperative nurse is the central dynamic core of the model.
 The interrelated nursing process rings bind the client to the model.
ANS
WER
-: A
Rationale:-The Perioperative Client Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern: nursing
diagnoses, nursing interventions, and client outcomes. These domains are in continuous interaction with the
health system that encircles the focus ofperioperative nursing practice—the client.

2. The Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses’ (AORN) Standards of Perioperative Nursing describes
nursing interactions, interventions, and activities with clients. This is based on which standards category?
 Evidence-based
 Process
 Outcome
 Structural
ANS
WER
-: B
Rationale:-Process standards relate to nursing activities, interventions, and interactions. They are used to explicate
clinical, professional, andquality objectives in perioperative nursing.

3. Which order best describes the process used to implement evidence-based professional nursing?
 Literature search, theory review, data analysis, policy development
 Regional survey, literature search, meta-analysis, practice change
 Identify problem, scientific evidence, develop policy, evaluate outcome
 Identify issue, analyze scientific evidence, implement change, evaluate process
ANSWER-: D
Evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an issue, to collect and evaluate the
best evidence todesign and implement a practice change, and to evaluate the process.

4. The ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin preparation practice for their unit.
The best process togather scientific information is to:
 conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next AORN chapter meeting.
 review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
 conduct a literature search on antimicrobial agents and infection prevention.
 review the scientific literature from the leading manufacturers of prep solutions.
ANSWER-: C
Rationale:-Perioperative nurses have an ethical responsibility to review practices and to modify them based
on the best available scientific evidence. Using research to guide practice is called evidence-based practice
(EBP).

5. The cardiac team is developing a standardized sterile back table setup and is unable to find sufficient research

, evidence for their project. Where might they look for information on best practices?
 Survey regional surgical technology programs for their back table models
 Review case studies and expert opinions on sterile back table setups
 Review AORN’s Guidelines for Perioperative Practice
on sterilization and disinfection
 Consult with facility instrument vendor representatives for their advice
ANS
WER
-: B
Rationale:-When there is not enough evidence to guide practice, perioperative nurses should consider gathering
information from variedtrusted sources that reflect best practices.

6. How do institutional standards of care, such as policies and procedures, differ from national standards, such as
AORN’s Standardsof Perioperative Nursing?
 They are written by nurses.
 They are written specifically to address
responsibilities under specificcircumstances.
 They are collaborative and collective agreement statements.
 They are rarely based on research.
ANSWER-: B
Rationale:-Institutional standards apply to the system or facility that develops them and can be directive
about specific actions in specific circumstances; national standards provide generalized authoritative
statements that can be implemented in all settings.
7. Which of the following actions best describes an element of the perioperative nursing assessment?
 Scanning the surgical schedule for the day before morning report.
 Reading the pick/preference list attached to the case cart.
 Reviewing the client medical record.
 Studying an on-line tutorial about the intended surgical procedure.
ANSWER-: C
Assessment is the collection and analysis of relevant health data about the client. Sources of data may be a
preoperative interviewwith the client and the client’s family; review of the planned surgical or invasive
procedure; review of the client’s medical record; examination of the results of diagnostic tests; and consultation
with the surgeon and anesthesia provider, unit nurses, or other personnel.

8. A frail 76-year-old diabetic woman is scheduled for major surgery. She is vulnerable and at high risk for harm
because of several factors related to her preexisting conditions and overall health status. As part of developing a
plan to guide her care, the nurse uses standardized descriptive terms. This step of the nursing process is called:
 nursing diagnosis.
 nursing assessment.
 nursing outcome.
 nursing intervention.
ANSWER-: A
Rationale:-Nursing diagnosis is the process of identifying and classifying data collected in the assessment in a
way that provides a focus toplan nursing care. Nursing diagnosis components include a definition of the
diagnostic term, defining characteristics and risk factors.

9. During the admission interview, the nurse initiated the discharge teaching and demonstrated crutch-walking
activities. The teachingactivities are what stage of the nursing process?
 Assessment
 Implementation
 Outcome identification
