gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg MULTIPLE CHOICE gg




1. The Perioperative Patient Focused Model presents key components of nursing influence that
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


guide patient care. Select the statement that best describes the dynamic relationship within
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


the model.
gg gg




a. The patient experience and the nursing presence are in continuous interaction.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




b. Structure, process, and outcome are the foundation domains of the model.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




c. The perioperative nurse is the central dynamic core of the model.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




d. The interrelated nursing process rings bind the patient to the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




model. ANS: A
gg gg gg




The Perioperative Patient Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern: nursing
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


diagnoses, nursing interventions, and patient outcomes. These domains are in continuous interaction
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


with the health system that encircles the focus of perioperative nursing practice—the patient.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




2. The Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses‘ (AORN) Standards of Perioperative Nursing
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


describes nursing interactions, interventions, and activities with patients. This is based on which
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


standards category?
gg gg




a. Evidence-based

b. Process

c. Outcome

d. Structural

ANS: B
gg gg




Process standards relate to nursing activities, interventions, and interactions. They are used to explicate
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


clinical, professional, and quality objectives in perioperative nursing.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




3. Which order best describes the process used to implement evidence-based professional nursing?
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




a. Literature search, theory review, data analysis, policy development
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




3|P a g gg gg gg gg


e

, b. Regional survey, literature search, meta-analysis, practice change
gg gg gg gg gg gg




c. Identify problem, scientific evidence, develop policy, evaluate outcome
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




d. Identify issue, analyze scientific evidence, implement change, evaluate
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




process ANS: D
gg gg gg




Evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an issue, to collect
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


and evaluate the best evidence to design and implement a practice change, and to evaluate the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


process.
gg




4. The ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin preparation practice for
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


their unit. The best process to gather scientific information is to:
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




a. conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next AORN chapter meeting.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




b. review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




c. conduct a literature search on antimicrobial agents and infection prevention.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




d. review the scientific literature from the leading manufacturers of prep
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




solutions. ANS: C
gg gg gg




Perioperative nurses have an ethical responsibility to review practices and to modify them based on
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


the best available scientific evidence. Using research to guide practice is called evidence-based
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


practice (EBP).
gg gg




5. The cardiac team is developing a standardized sterile back table setup and is unable to find
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


sufficient research evidence for their project. Where might they look for information on best
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


practices?
gg




a. Survey regional surgical technology programs for their back table models
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




b. Review case studies and expert opinions on sterile back table setups
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




c. Review AORN‘s Guidelines for Perioperative Practice on sterilization and disinfection
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




d. Consult with facility instrument vendor representatives for their
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




advice ANS: B
gg gg gg




When there is not enough evidence to guide practice, perioperative nurses should consider gathering
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


information from varied trusted sources that reflect best practices.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




6. How do institutional standards of care, such as policies and procedures, differ from national standards,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


such as AORN‘s Standards of Perioperative Nursing?
