goals will be developed with thepatients input. Thepatient asks, ―Howis this different fromwhat

the physician does? ‖ Which response would the nurse provide?

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

clinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Clinical judgment based on the

ANS: C iu



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



patients‗ problems. Nursing process does not require research methods for diagnosis.
i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/



Theprimaryuseof thenursingprocess is in patient care, not to establish nursing

ANS: C iu



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



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



Theotheractionsmaybe appropriate, but more assessment isneeded beforethebest
i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/ i/



intervention can be chosen.
