MULTIPLE CHOICE ap
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
goals will be developed with the patient‘s input. The patient asks, “How is this different from
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
what the physician does?” Which response would the nurse provide?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
a. “The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed b
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
y your physician.”
ap ap
b. “In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan to m
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
aintain your health.” ap ap
c. “The nurse‘s job is to collect information and communicate anyproblems that o
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ccur to the physician.” ap ap ap
d. “Nurses perform manyof the same procedures as the physician, but nurses are w
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ith the patients for a longer time than the physician.”
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ANS: B ap
The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing describes the role of nurses in
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
promoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse‘s unique role in thehealth care system.

2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
a. “Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.”
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
b. “Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are consistentlymet.”
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
c. “Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning patient care.”
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
d. “Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
preferences.”
ANS: D ap
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research- ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
based evidence combined with clinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Cl
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
inical judgment based on the nurse‘s clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
making should also incorporate current research and research-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is important, but data analysis is not require
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
d to use EBP. All published articles do not provide research evidence; interventions should be
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
based on credible research, preferably randomized controlled studies with a large number of s
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ubjects.

3. Which statement by the nurse provides a clear explanation of the nursing process?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
a. “The nursing process is a research method of diagnosing the patient‘s health care pr
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
oblems.”
b. “The nursing process is used primarilyto explain nursing interventions to other h
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap
ealth care professionals.” ap ap
c. “The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and manage the
