MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. A Nurse Is The Only One In The Icu Who Has Not Achieved Certification In
Critical Care Nursing. She Often Will Ask Her Fellow Nurses What To Do In Caring
For A Patient Because She Doubts The Accuracy Of Her Knowledge And Her
Intuition. She Loves Her Work But Wishes She Could Do It With A Greater Level Of
Competence. What Is The Most Important Effect That Obtaining Certification Would
Likely Have On The Nurse’s Practice?


A) Recognition By Peers
B) Increase In Salary And Rank
C) More Flexibility In Seeking Employment
D) Increased Confidence In Making Decisions


ANS: D)
Feedback: Obtaining Certification In Critical Care Nursing Can Significantly
Enhance A Nurse's Knowledge Base And Skill Set, Leading To Increased Confidence
In Clinical Decision-Making. Certification Validates The Nurse's Expertise And
Knowledge In The Field, Which Can Alleviate Doubts About Her Abilities. As She
Becomes More Familiar With Evidence-Based Practices And Critical Care Protocols,
Her Confidence In Assessing Situations And Making Decisions Will Improve. While
Recognition By Peers, Salary Increase, And Employment Flexibility Are Important
Benefits Of Certification, The Primary Impact On Her Daily Practice Would Be Her
Newfound Confidence, Enabling Her To Provide Better Care For Her Patients And
Engage More Effectively With Her Team.

,2. A Hospital Interviews Two Different Candidates For A Position In The Icu. Both
Candidates Have Around 10 Years Of Experience Working In The Icu. Both Have
Excellent Interpersonal Skills And Highly Positive References. One, However, Has
Certification In Critical Care Nursing. Which Of The Following Is The Most
Compelling And Accurate Reason For The Hospital To Hire The Candidate With
Certification?


A) The Certified Nurse Will Have More Knowledge And Expertise.
B) The Certified Nurse Will Behave More Ethically.
C) The Certified Nurse Will Be More Caring Toward Patients.
D) The Certified Nurse Will Work More Collaboratively With Other Nurses.


ANS: A)
Feedback: Certification In Critical Care Nursing Demonstrates That The Nurse Has
Undergone Rigorous Training And Assessment, Thereby Validating Her Advanced
Knowledge And Expertise In The Field. This Specialized Knowledge Can Enhance
Patient Outcomes And Ensure The Highest Standards Of Care In The Icu, Making
This The Most Compelling Reason For Hiring.




3. A Nurse Is Caring For An Elderly Man Recently Admitted To The Icu Following A
Stroke. She Assesses His Cognitive Function Using A New Cognitive Assessment
Test She Learned About In A Recent Article In A Nursing Journal. She Then Brings
A Cup Of Water And A Straw To The Patient Because She Observes That His Lips
Are Dry. Later, She Has The Patient Sit In A Wheelchair And Takes Him To Have
Some Blood Tests Performed. He Objects At First, Saying That He Can Walk On His
Own, But The Nurse Explains That It Is Hospital Policy To Use The Wheelchair. That
Evening, She Recognizes Signs Of An Imminent Stroke In The Patient And
Immediately Pages The Physician. Which Action Taken By The Nurse Is The Best
Example Of Evidence-Based Practice?


A) Giving The Patient A Cup Of Water
B) Transferring The Patient In A Wheelchair

, C) Using The Cognitive Assessment Test
D) Recognizing Signs Of Imminent Stroke And Paging The Physician


ANS: C)
Feedback: The Best Example Of Evidence-Based Practice In This Scenario Is The
Use Of The Cognitive Assessment Test. This Action Reflects The Application Of
Current Research To Clinical Practice, Enhancing The Assessment Of The Patient’s
Condition. While Other Actions Are Also Important, Using Evidence-Based Tools
Demonstrates A Commitment To Integrating Research Into Patient Care.




4. A Nurse Is On A Committee That Is Trying To Reduce The Occurrence Of
Hospital-Acquired Infections In The Icu. Her Role Is To Conduct Research To Find
Which Interventions Have Been Shown To Be Most Effective In Reducing These
Infections. She Consults Many Different Sources And Finds Conflicting Information.
Which Of The Following Sources Should She Consider The Most Authoritative?


A) AACN Expert Panel Report
B) A Meta-Analysis Of Randomized Controlled Trials In The American Journal Of
Nursing
C) A Systematic Review Of Qualitative Studies In The Journal Of Advanced Nursing
D) A Single Randomized Controlled Trial In The American Journal Of Critical Care


ANS: B)
Feedback: A Meta-Analysis Of Randomized Controlled Trials Is Considered One Of
The Highest Levels Of Evidence Because It Synthesizes Data From Multiple Studies,
Providing A Comprehensive Overview Of The Effectiveness Of Interventions. This
Type Of Research Is Generally More Reliable Than Individual Studies Or Qualitative
Reviews, Making It The Most Authoritative Source In This Context.




5. A Nurse Who Has Been Recently Hired To Manage The Nursing Staff Of The Icu
Is Concerned At The Lack Of Evidence-Based Practice She Sees Among The Staff.
