d. Introspective
ANS: C
Subjective data is what the person says about him or herself during history taking. Objective
data is what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and
auscultating during the physical examination. The terms reflective and introspective are not
used to describe data.

4. When listening to a patient’s breath sounds, the nurse is unsure of a sound that is heard.
Which action should the nurse take next?
a. Notify the patient’s physician.
b. Document the sound exactly as it was heard.
c. Validate the data by asking another nurse to listen to the breath sounds.
d. Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
ANS: C
When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patient’s breath sounds, the nurse validates
the data to ensure accuracy by either repeating the assessment themselves or asking another
nurse to assess the breath sounds. If the nurse has less experience analyzing breath sounds,
then he or she should ask an expert to listen. When unsure of a sound heard while listening to
a patient’s breath sounds, the nurse should validate the data before documenting to ensure
accuracy and before notifying the patient’s physician. To validate that data, the nurse either
repeats the assessment himself or herself or asks another nurse to assess the breath sounds.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyzing (Analysis)
MSC: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care

5. The nurse is conducting a class for new graduate nurses. While teaching the class, what
should the nurse keep in mind regarding what novice nurses, without a background of skills
and experience from which to draw upon, are more likely to base their decisions on?
a. Intuition
b. A set of rules
c. Articles in journals
d. Advice from supervisors
ANS: B
Novice nurses operate from a set of defined, structured rules to make decisions. It takes time,
perhaps a few years, in similar clinical situations to achieve competency and it is functioning
at the level of an expert practitioner when intuition is included in making clinical decisions.
Intuition is included in decision making when functioning at the level of an expert
practitioner. While information in journal articles and advice from supervisors may assist in
making decisions, novice nurses do not typically base their decisions on them. It would also
be important that if information from journal articles and advice from supervisors were used,
that they were evidence based.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension) MSC: Client Needs: General

6. The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based practice (EBP). Which statement
best reflects EBP?
a. EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.
b. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.
c. EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the clinician’s experience.
d. EBP does not consider the patient’s own preferences as important.
ANS: C
