practice?

B) Increase in salary and rank
C) More flexibility in seeking employment
D) Increased confidence in making decisions

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 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 nurse 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 medical doctor. Which action taken by the nurse is the best
example of evidence-based practice?
