MULTIPLE CHOICE UO




1. Which is a judgement about a particular patient‘s potential need or
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




problem?
UO




a. A goal UO




b. An assessment UO




c. Subjective data UO




d. A nursing diagnosis UO UO




ANS: D U O




Nursing diagnosis is the phase of the nursing process during which
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a clinical judgement is made about how a patient responds to heath conditions and life
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




processes or vulnerability forthat response.

2. The patient is to receive oral furosemide (Lasix) every day; however, because the patient
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




is unable to swallow, he cannot take medication orally, as ordered. The nurse needs to
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




contact the physician. What type of problem is this?
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a. A ―right time‖ problem
UO UO UO




b. A ―right dose‖ problem
UO UO UO




c. A ―right route‖ problem
UO UO UO




d. A ―right medication‖ problem
UO UO UO




ANS: U O C
This is a ―right route‖ problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must clarify the route
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




with the prescriber. This is not a ―right time‖ problem because the ordered frequency has not
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




changed. This is not a ―right dose‖ problem because the dose is not related to an inability to
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




swallow. This is not a ―right medication‖ problem because the medication ordered will not
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




change, just the route.

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient‘s progress on his new drug regimen since the first
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




dose and has been documenting signs of possible adverse effects. What nursing process
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




phase is the nurse practising?
UO UO UO UO UO




a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Nursing diagnosis UO




ANS: B U O




Monitoring the patient‘s progress is part of the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation,
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




and nursing diagnosis are not illustrated by this example.

,4. The nurse is caring for a patient who has been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this patient?
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a. The patient will follow instructions.
UO UO UO UO




b. The patient will not experience complications.
UO UO UO UO UO




c. The patient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




d. The patient demonstrates safe insulin self-administration technique.
UO UO UO UO UO UO




ANS: D U O




Having the patient demonstrate safe insulin self-administration technique is a specific and
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




measurable outcome criterion. Following instructions and avoiding complications are not
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




specific criteria. Adherence to the new insulin treatment regimen is not objective and would
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the patient
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




UO who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a. Providing education regarding self-injection technique UO UO UO UO




b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient‘s input
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




c. Recording a history of over-the-counter medications used at home UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




d. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficits related to the new UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




treatment regimen
UO UO




ANS: A U O




Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




outcome criteria reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding a knowledge deficit reflects analysis of
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




data as part of the planning phase.N

6. The nurse is working during a very busy night shift, and the health care provider has just
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




given the nurse a medication order over the telephone, but the nurse does not recall the
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




route. What is the best way for the nurse to avoid medication errors?
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a. Recopy the order neatly on the order sheet, with the most common route indicated
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




b. Consult with the pharmacist for clarification about the most common route
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




c. Call the health care provider to clarify the route of administration
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




d. Withhold the drug until the health care provider visits the patient UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




ANS: C U O




If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the health care provider to
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




clarify it. Never assume the route of administration.

UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




a. Right drug, right route, right dose, right time, and right patient

UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




ANS: A U O

, The traditional Five Rights of medication administration were considered to be Right
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




drug, Right route, Right dose, Right time, and Right patient. Right effect, right strength,
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




and right diagnosis are not part of the traditional Five Rights.

UO UO UO UO UO




a. Diagnosing, planning, assessing, implementing, and finally evaluating UO UO UO UO UO UO




b. Assessing, then diagnosing, implementing, and ending with evaluating UO UO UO UO UO UO UO

UO planning, implementing, and evaluating UO UO UO




ANS: D U O




The nursing process is an ongoing, flexible, adaptable, and adjustable five-step process that
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




begins with assessing and continues through diagnosing, planning, implementing, and finally
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




evaluating, which may then lead back to any of the other phases.

a. The patient‘s identification UO UO




b. The patient‘s weight UO UO




c. The patient‘s last meal UO UO UO




d. Any drug or food allergies UO UO UO UO




ANS: U O C
The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drug need to be assessed with
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




regard to any drug–food interactions or compatibility issues. The patient‘s identification,
UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO UO




weight, and drug or food allergies are not affected by the drug‘s timing.
