This comprehensive test bank for Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing 11th Edition by Mariann M. Harding is designed to help nursing students review essential medical-surgical nursing concepts and prepare for academic assessments. It provides valuable study support for quizzes, examinations, midterms, finals, and other coursework involving adult health and clinical nursing practice. Students can use this resource to reinforce important concepts related to patient assessment, clinical reasoning, pathophysiology, disease processes, nursing interventions, pharmacological considerations, patient safety, health promotion, care planning, prioritization, and evidence-based nursing practice. The material can be studied alongside textbook chapters, lectures, class notes, laboratory activities, simulations, and clinical experiences to identify areas requiring additional review and strengthen understanding of complex patient-care situations. It is particularly useful for students enrolled in medical-surgical nursing, adult health nursing, acute care nursing, clinical nursing, and related healthcare courses. By providing an organized approach to reviewing major concepts, this resource can help learners structure their study sessions, strengthen critical-thinking and clinical reasoning skills, improve retention, and approach medical-surgical nursing examinations with greater preparation and confidence while developing a stronger foundation for safe and effective patient care.

MULTIPLE CHOICE Y




1. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process when providing patient care.
Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Which statement, if made by the student nurse, indicates that teaching was successful?
J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




a. The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patients health care problems.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y JY J Y JY




b. The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients health care needs.
J Y JY JY JY J Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




c. The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




humans.


d. The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other health care
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




professionals.


ANS: B JY




The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of patients problems.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y




to establish nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice guidelines when caring for
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse, would be the most accurate?
J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y JY J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




a. Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide. JY JY JY JY J Y JY JY JY J Y




b. Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




c. Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.
JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y JY JY JY J Y




d. Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. JY JY JY JY J Y JY JY J Y J Y




ANS: D JY




Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




clinician expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but
JY J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




clinical decision making should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of
J Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y JY J Y J Y




patient outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized
JY J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




control studies with a large number of subjects.

3. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge goals will be
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




developed with the patients input. The patient states, How is this different from what the doctor does? Which
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




response would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
J Y JY J Y JY JY J Y J Y JY J Y




a. The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by your doctor.
JY J Y JY JY JY JY JY J Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




b. The nurses job is to help the doctor by collecting information and communicating any problems that
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




occur.


c. Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses are with the patients for a
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




longer time than the doctor. JY JY JY JY




d. In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will assist you to develop an
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




individualized plan to maintain your health. JY JY JY JY JY




ANS: D JY




This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing,
J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




which describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses describe some of the dependent and
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




collaborative functions of the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurses role in the health care system.

4. A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure ulcer on the left hip
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?
JY JY JY JY JY




a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis JY J Y JY JY JY JY




b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y




c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y




d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




ANS: C J Y




The patients major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of a pressure ulcer. The
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by frequently repositioning the patient. Although
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY J Y




left-sided weakness is a problem for the patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The risk for
J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y JY




diagnosis is not appropriate for this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The patient does have
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




ineffective tissue perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the
J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




health problem is. JY JY

5. A patient has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, I do not feel comfortable leaving my

children with my parents. Which action should the nurse take next?
