Harding: Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing, 12th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge
goals will be developed with the client‗s input. The client 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 clients for a longer time than the physician.‖
CORRECT: 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.

TOPIC: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment
2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. ―Client care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
b. ―Data are analyzed later to show that the client outcomes are consistently met.‖
c. ―Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning client care.‖
d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and
client preferences.‖
CORRECT: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with
clinician expertise and consideration of client 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 client 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 client‗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
, clients‗ health care needs.‖
d. ―The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates
the biopsychosocial nature of humans.‖
CORRECT: C
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
clients‗ problems. Nursing process does not require research methods for diagnosis. The
primary use of the nursing process is in client care, not to establish nursing theory or explain
nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

4. A client admitted to the hospital for surgery tells the nurse, ―I do not feel comfortable
leaving my children with my parents.‖ Which action would the nurse take next?
a. Reassure the client that these feelings are common for parents.
b. Have the client call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
c. Gather information on the client‗s concerns about the child care arrangements.
d. Call the client‗s parents to determine whether adequate child care is
being provided.
CORRECT: C
Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an
appropriate intervention, the nurse‗s first action should be to obtain more information. The
other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention
can be chosen.
5. A client with a bacterial infection is hypovolemic due to a fever and excessive
diaphoresis. Which expected outcome would the nurse select for this client?
a. Client has a balanced intake and output.
b. Client‗s bedding is kept clean and free of moisture.
c. Client understands the need for increased fluid intake.
d. Client‗s skin remains cool and dry throughout hospitalization.
CORRECT: A
Balanced intake and output gives measurable data showing resolution of the problem of
deficient fluid volume. The other statements would not indicate that the problem of
hypovolemia was resolved.
6. Which statement describes the purpose of the evaluation phase of the nursing process?
a. To document the nursing care plan in the progress notes of the health record
b. To determine if interventions have been effective in meeting client outcomes
c. To decide whether the client‗s health problems have been completely resolved
d. To establish if the client agrees that the nursing care provided was satisfactory
CORRECT: B
