what are some methods to reduce physical hazards and
the transmission of pathogens - Answer-make sure all
workers wear proper protective gear such as safety
glasses, gloves, hard hats, hearing protection, etc.
Second, ensure that equipment is properly maintained and
repaired. Proper hand hygiene. Avoiding high-risk
behaviors. Immunizations. Proper home pest control.
Proper disposal of human waste. Keeping a healthy world
environment-avoid polluting the air and water when able.
What is the influence of nursing theory on a nurse's
approach to practice - Answer-Nursing theory
conceptualizes an aspect of nursing to describe, explain,
predict, pr prescribe nursing care. Theories offer a
framework for assessing your patient's situation, and help
you to recognize and analyze clues that emerge from data
what are the types of nursing theories - Answer-- grand
theories: abstract, broad in scope, and complex - require
,2|Page
further clarification though research to they can be applied
to nursing practice - provides general framework for
general ideas about nursing. Eg Imogene King's theory of
goal attainment, the focus of nursing is the interaction of
Hyman beings and the environment with an end goal of
health, an Nightingale who thought that improving

- Middle-range theories: address specific phenomenon
and reflect practice. Eg Kolcaba's theory of comfort
encourages nurses to meet pt's needs for comfort in
physical, psychospiritual, environmental and sociocultural
realms
- Practice theories: guide the nursing care of a specific
patient population at a specific time eg. pain management
protocol for pts receiving from cardiac surgery
- Descriptive theories: first level of theory development -
describe phenomena and identify circumstances in which
the phenomena occur eg. theories of growth and
development describer he maturation process of an
individual at various ages
- Prescriptive theories: address nursing interventions for a
phenomenon, guide practice change, and predict the
consequences - helps to anticipate the outcomes of
nursing interventions

what is the relationship between nursing theory, the
nursing process, and patient needs - Answer-The nursing
process is used in clinical settings to determine individual
patient needs, and provides a systematic process for the
delivery of nursing care. However, nurses use theory to
provide direction in how to use the nursing process. For

to assess, how to determine patient needs, how to plan
care, how to select individualized nursing interventions,

necessary when providing competent nursing care. The
model has multiple layers that help explain the cognitive
process nurses use to make clinical judgments to guide
their care
- layer 0: determine client needs
- layer 1: clinical judgement
- layer 2: form a hypotheses, refine hypothesis, evaluation
- layer 3: recognize cures, analyze cues, prioritize
hypothesis, generate solutions, take actions, evaluate
outcomes
, 4|Page
- layer 4: environmental and individual factors that help
inform a nurses clinical judgement
What is theory based nursing practice - Answer-you apply
the principles of a theory in delivering nursing
interventions
- grand theories help shape and define your practice
- middle range theories help to advance nursing
knowledge through nursing research
- practice theories help you provide specific care for
individuals and groups of diverse populations and
situations
what are the benefits of evidence based practice - Answer-
EBP enhances patient experience, patient satisfaction,
decreases cost, empowers clinicians, improves patient
outcomes, and improves the quality and consistency of
health care
what are the steps of evidence based practice - Answer-0.
cultivate a spirit of inquiry within an EBP culture and
environment
