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

2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice
(EBP)?
a. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
b. ―Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.‖
c. ―Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning patient care.‖
d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical
expertise, and patient preferences.‖
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence
combined with clinician expertise and consideration of patient 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 patient 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
controlledstudies 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
patient‗s health care problems.‖

nursing interventions to other health care professionals.‖
c. ―The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and manage the
, 4
patients‗ health care needs.‖
d. ―The nursing process is based on nursing theory
that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of
humans.‖
ANS: C
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and
treatmentof patients‗ problems. Nursing process does not require research
methods for diagnosis. The primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not
to establishnursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health
care professionals.

b. Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
c. Gather information on the patient‗s concerns about the child care arrangements.
d. Call the patient‗s parents to determine whether adequate
childcare is being provided.
ANS: C

assessment is needed before the best intervention can be chosen.
