MULTIPLE CHOICE io




1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



discharge goals will be developed with the patient‗s input. The patient asks, ―How is this
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



different from what the physician does?‖ Which response would the nurse provide?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. ―The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



your physician.‖ io io



b. ―In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan to
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



maintain your health.‖
io io io



c. ―The nurse‗s job is to collect information and communicate anyproblems that
io io io io io io io io io io io



occur to the physician.‖
io io io io



d. ―Nurses perform manyof the same procedures as the physician, but nurses are
io io io io io io io io io io io io



with the patients for a longer time than the physician.‖
io io io io io io io io io io




ANS: B io



The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing describes the role of nurses
io io io io io io io io io io io io



in promoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of
io io io io io io io io io io io io



the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse‗s unique role in the health care
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



system.

2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
io io io io io io io io io



b. ―Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are consistentlymet.‖
io io io io io io io io io io io io



c. ―Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning patient care.‖ io io io io io io io io io io io io io



d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient io io io io io io io io



io preferences.‖
ANS: D io



Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined io io io io io io io io io io io



withclinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Clinical judgment based on
io io io io io io io io io io io io



the nurse‗s clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes
io io io io io io io io io io



isimportant, but data analysis is not required to use EBP. All published articles do not
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



provide research evidence; interventions should be based on credible research, preferably
io io io io io io io io io io io



randomizedcontrolled studies with a large number of subjects.

3. Which statement by the nurse provides a clear explanation of the nursing process?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. ―The nursing process is a research method of diagnosing the patient‗s health care
io io io io io io io io io io io io



io problems.‖
?

,b. ―The nursing process is used primarilyto explain nursing interventions to other
io io io io io io io io io io io



io health care professionals.‖
io io



c. ―The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and manage the
io io io io io io io io io io io io




?

, patients‗ health care needs.‖ io io io



d. ―The nursing process is based on nursing theorythat incorporates the
io io io io io io io io io io



io biopsychosocial nature of humans.‖ io io io




ANS: C io



The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
io io io io io io io io io io io io



patients‗ problems. Nursing process does not require research methods for diagnosis. The
io io io io io io io io io io io io



primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory or
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



explainnursing interventions to other health care professionals.

4. A patient admitted to the hospital for surgery tells the nurse, ―I do not feel
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



comfortableleaving my children with my parents.‖ Which action would the nurse
io io io io io io io io io io io io



take next?
io io



a. Reassure the patient that these feelings are common for parents. io io io io io io io io io



b. Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
io io io io io io io io io io io io



c. Gather information on the patient‗s concerns about the child care arrangements.
io io io io io io io io io io



d. Call the patient‗s parents to determine whether adequate child care is
io io io io io io io io io io



beingprovided.
io io




ANS: C io



Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



appropriate intervention, the nurse‗s first action should be to obtain more information. The
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



other actions maybe appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



interventioncan be chosen.

5. A patient with a bacterial infection is hypovolemic due to a fever and excessive
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



diaphoresis.Which expected outcome would the nurse select for this patient?
io io io io io io io io io io io



a. Patient has a balanced intake and output. io io io io io io



b. Patient‗s bedding is kept clean and free of moisture. io io io io io io io io



c. Patient understands the need for increased fluid intake. io io io io io io io



d. Patient‗s skin remains cool and dry throughout hospitalization. i o i o i o i o i o io i o




ANS: A io



Balanced intake and output gives measurable data showing resolution of the problem
io io io io io io io io io io io



ofdeficient fluid volume. The other statements would not indicate that the problem of
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io



hypovolemia was resolved.

6. Which statement describes the purpose of the evaluation phase of the nursing process?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. To document the nursing care plan in the progress notes of the health record
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



b. To determine if interventions have been effective in meeting patient outcomes
io io io io io io io io io io



c. To decide whether the patient‗s health problems have been completely resolved
io io io io io io io io io io



d. To establish if the patient agrees that the nursing care provided was satisfactory
io io io io io io io io io io io io




ANS: B io




?

, Evaluation consists of determining whether the desired patient outcomes have been met
io io io io io io io io io io io



and whether the nursing interventions were appropriate. The other responses do not
io io io io io io io io io io io io



describe theevaluation phase.

7. Which statement describes the purpose of the assessment phase of the nursing process?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. To teach interventions that relieve health problems
io io io io io io



b. To use patient data to evaluate patient care outcomes
io io io io io io io io



c. To obtain data to diagnose patient strengths and problems
io io io io io io io io



d. To help the patient identify realistic outcomes for health problems
io io io io io io io io io




ANS: C io



During the assessment phase, the nurse gathers information about the patient to
io io io io io io io io io io io



diagnosepatient strengths and problems. The other responses are examples of the planning,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



intervention, and evaluation phases of the nursing process.

8. When developing the plan of care, which components would the nurse include in the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



clinicalproblem statement?
io io io



a. The problem and the suggested patient goals or outcomes
io io io io io io io io



b. The problem, its causes, and the signs and symptoms of the problem
io io io io io io io io io io io



c. The problem with the possible etiology and the planned interventions
io io io io io io io io io



d. The problem, its pathophysiology, and the expected outcome
io io io io io io io




ANS: B io



When writing clinical problems or nursing diagnoses, the subjective as well as objective data
io io io io io io io io io io io io io



to support the problem‗s existence should be included. Goals, outcomes, and interventions
io io io io io io io io io io io io



arenot included in the problem statement.

9. Which patient care task would the nurse delegate to experienced assistive personnel (AP)?
io io io io io io io io io io io io



a. Instruct the patient about the need to alternate activity and rest.
io io io io io io io io io io



b. Monitor level of shortness of breath or fatigue after ambulation. io io io io io io io io io



c. Obtain the patient‗s blood pressure and pulse rate after ambulation.
io io io io io io io io io



d. Determine whether the patient is ready to increase the activity level. io io io io io io io io io io




ANS: C io



AP education includes accurate vital sign measurement. Assessment and patient
io io io io io io io io io



teachingrequire registered nurse education and scope of practice and cannot be delegated.
