16. D. This is measurable and objective.
17. B. This does not require a physician’s order. (A & D require an order; C is not appropriate for a
fractured tibia)
18. C. It is specific in what to do and when.
19. B. Calling in the wound care nurse as a consultant is appropriate because he or she is a specialist
in the area of wound management. Professional and competent nurses recognize limitations and seek
appropriate consultation. (a. This might be appropriate after deciding on a plan of action with the
wound care nurse specialist. The nurse may need to obtain orders for special wound care products.
c. Unless the nurse is knowledgeable in wound management, this could delay wound healing. Also, the
current wound management plan could have been ordered by the physician. d. Another nurse most
likely will not be knowledgeable about wounds, and the primary nurse would know the history of the
wound management plan.)
20. A. This gives the consulting nurse facts that will influence a new plan.
(b, c, and d. These are all subjective and emotional issues/conclusions about the current treatment
plan and may cause a bias in the decision of a new treatment plan by the nurse consultant.)
21. D. Because the primary nurse requested the consultation, it is important that they communicate
and discuss recommendations. The primary nurse can then accept or reject the CNS
recommendations. (a. Some of the recommendations may not be appropriate for this client. The
primary nurse would know this information. A consultation requires review of the recommendations,
but not immediate implementation. b. This would be appropriate after first talking with the CNS about
