Evidence
1. A medic is the only one in the ICU who has not achieved certification in critical care
nursing. She often will ask her fellow medics what to do in caring for a client because
she doubts the accuracy of her knowledge and her intuition. She loves her work but
wishes she could do it with a greater level of competence. What is the most important
effect that obtaining certification would likely have on the medics practice?
A) Recognition by peers
B) Increase in salary and rank
C) More flexibility in seeking employment
D) Increased confidence in making decisions
2. A hospital interviews two different candidates for a position in the ICU. Both candidates
have around 10 years of experience working in the ICU. Both have excellent
interpersonal skills and highly positive references. One, however, has certification in
critical care nursing. Which of the following is the most compelling and accurate reason
for the hospital to hire the candidate with certification?
A) The certified medic will have more knowledge and expertise.
B) The certified medic will behave more ethically.
C) The certified medic will be more caring toward clients.
D) The certified medic will work more collaboratively with other medics.
3. A medic is caring for an elderly man recently admitted to the ICU following a stroke.
Sheassesses his cognitive function using a new cognitive assessment test she learned
about ina recent article in a nursing journal. She then brings a cup of water and a straw to
the client because she observes that his lips are dry. Later, she has the client sit in a
wheelchair and takes him to have some blood tests performed. He objects at first, saying
that he can walk on his own, but the medic explains that it is hospital policy to use the
wheelchair. That evening, she recognizes signs of an imminent stroke in the client and
immediately pages the physician. Which action taken by the medic is the best example of
, evidence-based practice?
A) Giving the client a cup of water
B) Transferring the client in a wheelchair
C) Using the cognitive assessment test
D) Recognizing signs of imminent stroke and paging the physician
, 4. A medic is on a committee that is trying to reduce the occurrence of hospital-acquired
infections in the ICU. Her role is to conduct research to find which interventions have
been shown to be most effective in reducing these infections. She consults many different
sources and finds conflicting information. Which of the following sources should she
consider the most authoritative?
A) AACN expert panel report
B) A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in the American Journal of Nursing
C) A systematic review of qualitative studies in the Journal of Advanced Nursing
D) A single randomized controlled trial in the American Journal of Critical Care
5. A medic who has been recently hired to manage the nursing staff of the ICU is
concernedat the lack of evidence-based practice she sees among the staff. Which of the
following would be the best step for her to take to promote incorporating evidence into
clinical practice?
A) Only hire medics certified in critical care nursing.
B) Leave copies of several different nursing journals in the medics lounge.
C) Demonstrate to the staff the best nursing-related search terms to use in Google or
Yahoo!
D) Introduce the staff to the PubMed search engine and assign them topics to research
on it.
6. A physician visits a client in the ICU while the medic is out. The client complains that
the pain medication is not effective and that he would like to receive an increased dose.
The physician has the medic paged and consults with him in the hallway regarding the
clients request for stronger pain medication. The medic explains that client was started
on a morphine drip only 20 minutes ago and that the drug has not had time to take effect
yet. The physician agrees and tells the client to give it just a bit more time. Which
component of a healthy work environment is most evident in this scenario?
A) Skilled communication
B) Appropriate staffing
C) True collaboration
D) Meaningful recognition
7. A medic in the ICU is responding to a client who has just gone into cardiac arrest. A
moment later, the medic is notified that another client has just gone into anaphylactic
shock due to a drug allergy. She is conflicted as to what to do, as she is the only
medicavailable at the moment to tend to both clients. Which component of a healthy
workenvironment is lacking in this scenario?
