CHAPTER 1
1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse
has charted that his respirations are eupneic and his pulse is
58 beats per minute. These types of data would be:
a. Objective.
b. Reflective.
c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
A
Objective data are what the health professional observes by
inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating during
the physical examination. Subjective data is what the
person says about him or herself during history taking. The
terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe
data.
2. A patient tells the nurse that he is very nervous, is
nauseated, and “feels hot.” These types of data would be:
, a. Objective.
b. Reflective.
c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
C
Subjective data are what the person says about him or
herself during history taking. Objective data are what the
health professional observes by inspecting, percussing,
palpating, and auscultating during the physical
examination. The terms reflective and introspective are
not used to describe data.
3. The patient’s record, laboratory studies, objective data, and
subjective data combine to form the:
a. Data base.
b. Admitting data.
c. Financial statement.
d. Discharge summary.
A
Together with the patient’s record and laboratory studies,
the objective and subjective data form the data base. The
other items are not part of the patient’s record, laboratory
studies, or data.
4. When listening to a patient’s breath sounds, the nurse is
unsure of a sound that is heard. The nurse’s next action
should be to:
a. Immediately notify the
patient’s physician.
b. Document the sound exactly
as it was heard.
, c. Validate the data by asking a
coworker to listen to the
breath sounds.
d. Assess again in 20 minutes
to note whether the sound is
still present.
C
When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patient’s
breath sounds, the nurse validates the data to ensure
accuracy. If the nurse has less experience in an area, then
he or she asks an expert to listen.
5. The nurse is conducting a class for new graduate nurses.
During the teaching session, the nurse should keep in mind
that novice nurses, without a background of skills and
experience from which to draw, are more likely to make their
decisions using:
a. Intuition.
b. A set of rules.
c. Articles in journals.
d. Advice from supervisors.
B
Novice nurses operate from a set of defined, structured
rules. The expert practitioner uses intuitive links.
6. Expert nurses learn to attend to a pattern of assessment
data and act without consciously labeling it. These
responses are referred to as:
a. Intuition.
b. The nursing process.
, c. Clinical knowledge.
d. Diagnostic reasoning.
A
Intuition is characterized by pattern recognition—expert
nurses learn to attend to a pattern of assessment data and
act without consciously labeling it. The other options are not
correct.
7. The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based
practice (EBP). Which statement best reflects EBP?
a. EBP relies on tradition for
support of best practices.
b. EBP is simply the use of best
practice techniques for the
treatment of patients.
c. EBP emphasizes the use of
best evidence with the
clinician’s experience.
d. The patient’s own
preferences are not
important with EBP.
C
EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes
the use of best evidence in combination with the clinician’s
experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when
making decisions about care and treatment. EBP is more
than simply using the best practice techniques to treat
patients, and questioning tradition is important when no
compelling and supportive research evidence exists.
8. The nurse is conducting a class on priority setting for a
group of new graduate nurses. Which is an example of a
first-level priority problem?
