Chapter 1 Critical Care Nursing Practice: Promoting Excellence-Caring,Collaboration
Evidence
Multiple Choice
1. A nurse is the only one in the ICU who has not achieved certification in critical care
nursing. She often will ask her fellow nurses what to do in caring for a patient 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 nurses 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 nurse will have more knowledge and expertise.
B) The certified nurse will behave more ethically.
C) The certified nurse will be more caring toward patients.
D) The certified nurse will work more collaboratively with other nurses.
3. A nurse is caring for an elderly man recently admitted to the ICU following a stroke. She
assesses his cognitive function using a new cognitive assessment test she learned about in a recent
article in a nursing journal. She then brings a cup of water and a straw to the patient because she
observes that his lips are dry. Later, she has the patient 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 patient and immediately pages the physician. Which action taken by the
nurse is the best example of evidence-based practice?
A) Giving the patient a cup of water
