1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan
of care and discharge goals will be developed with the patient's input.
The patient asks, "How is this different from what the physician does?"
Which response would the nurse provide?
a. "The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other
treatments prescribed by your physician."
b. "In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help
you plan to maintain your health."
c. "The nurse's job is to collect information and communicate any
problems that occur to the physician."
d. "Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the physician, but
nurses are with the patients for a longer time than the physician."
ANS: b
The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing
describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses
describe dependent and collaborative functions of the nursing role but do
not accurately describe the nurse's unique role in the health care system.

2.Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of
evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. "Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and
traditions."
b. "Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are
consistently met."
c. "Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning
patient care."
d. "Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and
, patient preferences."
ANS: d
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based
evidence combined with clinician expertise and consideration of patient
preferences. Clinical judgment based on the nurse's clinical experience is
part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also incorporate current
research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes
is important, but data analysis is not required to use EBP. All published
articles do not provide research evidence; interventions should be based
on credible research, preferably randomized controlled studies with a
large number of subjects.

3.Which statement by the nurse provides a clear explanation of the
nursing process?
a. "The nursing process is a research method of diagnosing the patient's
health care problems."
b. "The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing
interventions to other health care professionals."
c. "The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and
manage the patients' health care needs."
d. "The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the
biopsychosocial nature of humans."
ANS: c
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification
and treatment of patients' problems. Nursing process does not require
research methods for diagnosis. The primary use of the nursing process
is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory or explain nursing
interventions to other health care professionals.
