ANSWERS KEY AT THE END OF EVERY CHAPTER
Chapter 01: Critical Care Nursing Practice: Promoting Excellence-Caring,
Collaboration Evidence
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse is the only one in the ICU who has not achieved certification in critical
care nursing. She often will ask her fellow nurses what to do in caring for a patient
because she doubts the accuracy of her knowledge and her intuition. She loves her work
but wishes she could do it with a greater level of competence. What is the most
important effect that obtaining certification would likely have on the nurses practice?
A) Recognition by peers
B) Increase in salary and rank
C) More flexibility in seeking employment
D) Increased confidence in making decisions
2. A hospital interviews two different candidates for a position in the ICU. Both
candidates have around 10 years of experience working in the ICU. Both have excellent
interpersonal skills and highly positive references. One, however, has certification in
critical care nursing. Which of the following is the most compelling and accurate reason
for the hospital to hire the candidate with certification?
A) The certified nurse will have more knowledge and expertise.
B) The certified nurse will behave more ethically.
C) The certified nurse will be more caring toward patients.
D) The certified nurse will work more collaboratively with other nurses.
3. A nurse is caring for an elderly man recently admitted to the ICU following a
stroke. She assesses his cognitive function using a new cognitive assessment test she
learned about in a recent article in a nursing journal. She then brings a cup of water and
a straw to the patient because she observes that his lips are dry. Later, she has the
patient sit in a wheelchair and takes him to have some blood tests performed. He objects
at first, saying that he can walk on his own, but the nurse explains that it is hospital
policy to use the wheelchair. That evening, she recognizes signs of an imminent stroke in
the patient and immediately pages the physician. Which action taken by the nurse is the
best example of evidence-based practice?
A) Giving the patient a cup of water
B) Transferring the patient in a wheelchair
C) Using the cognitive assessment test
