Even when the best evidence available 
is used, application and outcomes will 
differ based on patient values, 
preferences, concerns, and/or 
expectations. Nurses often care for 
patients on the basis of tradition or 
convenience. Although these sources 
have value, it is important to learn to rely on 
more on research evidence than on 
nonresearch evidence. Evidence-based 
care improves quality, safety, patient 
outcomes, and nurse satisfaction while 
reducing costs
Rationale: Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of 
disease, such as the increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. 
Bacteria, poisons, and traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.

Perioperative nursing care occurs before, during, and after surgery. 
Readmission testing occurs before surgery and is considered 
preoperative. Nursing care provided during the surgical procedure is 
considered intraoperative, and in the postanesthesia care unit, it is

find meaning in life, resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality 
orientation, and coping or stress management abilities;
Lewis dot structures 
Dots are used to represent the electrons in the valence shell of atoms, and covalent 
bonding is indicated by pairs of electrons placed between atoms. Multiple bonds are

End-of-life care is largely the responsibility of nurses is correct because 
palliative care reflects the holistic philosophy of nursing, and comfort and 
relief have always been nursing responsibilities. End-of-life needs are

population ages, there will be a greater demand for end-of-life care as the 
number of individuals needing care increases. Hospice and palliative care 
nurses work in a variety of settings is correc...
Explanation – Utilize the one-letter codes for all amino acids and know their charge and polarity. 
Globular proteins are usually seen in aqueous environments and will fold to have nonpolar amino 
acids on its interior. Based on that information, the polypeptide needs to have outside amino 
acids that are charged or polar, while the interior will have nonpolar/hydrophobic amino acids. D 
is correct because (RDGLIVFYWSC) arginine, aspartame, serine, and cysteine are 
polar/charged.
