MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The Perioperative Patient Focused Model presents key components of nursing influence that guide
patient care. Select the statement that best describes the dynamic relationship within the model.
VIIA
a. The patient experience and the nursing presence are in continuous interaction.
b. Structure, process, and outcome are the foundation domains of the model.
A__
c. The perioperative nurse is the central dynamic core of the model.
d. The interrelated nursing process rings bind the patient to the model.
AAP
ANS: A
The Perioperative Patient Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern: nursing
diagnoses, nursing interventions, and patient outcomes. These domains are in continuous interaction with
PPP
the health system that encircles the focus of perioperative nursing practice—the patient.
2. The Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses‘ (AORN) Standards of Perioperative Nursing
RRO
describes nursing interactions, interventions, and activities with patients. This is based on which standards
category?
OVV
a. Evidence-based
T
b. Process
he
c. Outcome
EED
d. Structural
Ar
ANS: B

Process standards relate to nursing activities, interventions, and interactions. They are used to explicate
clinical, professional, and quality objectives in perioperative nursing.

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

4. The ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin preparation practice for their
unit. The best process to gather scientific information is to:
a. conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next AORN chapter meeting.
VIIA
b. review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
c. conduct a literature search on antimicrobial agents and infection prevention.

d. review the scientific literature from the leading manufacturers of prep solutions.
ANS: C

Perioperative nurses have an ethical responsibility to review practices and to modify them based on the
best available scientific evidence. Using research to guide practice is called evidence-based practice
(EBP).

5. The cardiac team is developing a standardized sterile back table setup and is unable to find sufficient
research evidence for their project. Where might they look for information on best practices?
