q q q q q q q q q q




ANS: A q



The Perioperative Patient Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern: nursing diagnoses, nursing
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



interventions, and patient outcomes. These domains are in continuous interaction with the health system that encircles the focus of
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



perioperative nursing practice—the patient. q q q




2. The Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses’ (AORN) Standards of Perioperative Nursing describes nursing interactions,

a. Evidence-based
b. Process
c. Outcome

q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



quality objectives in perioperative nursing.

q q q q q q q q q q q



a. Literature search, theory review, data analysis, policy development q q q q q q q



b. Regional survey, literature search, meta-analysis, practice change q q q q q q



c. Identify problem, scientific evidence, develop policy, evaluate outcome
q q q q q q q



d. Identify issue, analyze scientific evidence, implement change, evaluate process
q q q q q q q q




ANS: D q



Evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an issue, to collect and evaluate the best evidence to
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



design and implement a practice change, and to evaluate the process.
q q q q q q q q q q




4. The ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin preparation practice for their unit. The best process to
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



gather scientific information is to:
q q q q



a. conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next AORN chapter meeting.
q q q q q q q q q q q q



b. review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
q q q q q q q q q q

q q q q q q q q q q




ANS: C q



Perioperative nurses have an ethical responsibility to review practices and to modify them based on the best available scientific
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



evidence. Using research to guide practice is called evidence-based practice (EBP).
q q q q q q q q q q

q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



project. Where might they look for information on best practices?
q q q q q q q q q



a. Survey regional surgical technology programs for their back table models
q q q q q q q q q



b. Review case studies and expert opinions on sterile back table setups
q q q q q q q q q q



c. Review AORN’s Guidelines for Perioperative Practice on sterilization and
q q q q q q q q q



disinfection
d. Consult with facility instrument vendor representatives for their advice
q q q q q q q q




ANS: B q



When there is not enough evidence to guide practice, perioperative nurses should consider gathering information from varied trusted
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



sources that reflect best practices.
q q q q q




6. How do institutional standards of care, such as policies and procedures, differ from national standards, such as AORN’s Standards
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



of Perioperative Nursing?
q q



a. They are written by nurses. q q q q



b. They are written specifically to address responsibilities under specific
q q q q q q q q q



circumstances.
c. They are collaborative and collective agreement statements.
q q q q q q

ANS: B q



Institutional standards apply to the system or facility that develops them and can be directive about specific actions in specific
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



circumstances; national standards provide generalized authoritative statements that can be implemented in all settings.
