The nursing process is a five-step decision-making approach that includes: 1) assessment, 2)
v v v v v v v v v v v v
patient problem, 3) planning, 4) implementation, and 5) evaluation. “Right drug” is one of the

2. The nurse is using data collected to set goals or expected outcomes and interventions that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
address the patient’s problems. Which step of the nursing process is the nurse applying?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

c. Planning N
d. Evaluation
ANS: C v
During the planning phase, the nurse uses the data collected to set goals or expected outcomes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
, and interventions which address the patient’s problems. The data was collected during the
v v v v v v v v v v v v
“Assessment” and “Patient problem” steps. During the “Evaluation” phase the nurse would
v v v v v v v v v v v v
determine whether the goals and objectives set during the planning phase were met.

3. A 5-year-old child with type 1 diabetes mellitus has had repeated hospitalizations for episodes of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
hyperglycemia. The parents tell the nurse that they can’t keep track of everything that has to be
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
done to care for their child. The nurse reviews medications, diet, and symptom management
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
with the parents and draws up a daily checklist for the family to use. These activities are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
completed in which step of the nursing process?
v v v v v v v v
a. Assessment
b. Planning
c. Implementation
d. Evaluation
ANS: C v
The implementation phase is the part of the nursing process in which the nurse provides
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
education, drug administration, patient care, and other interventions necessary to assist the
v v v v v v v v v v v v
patient in accomplishing established medication goals.

4. The nurse is preparing to administer a medication and reviews the patient’s chart for drug
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
allergies, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The nurse’s actions are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
reflective of which phase of the nursing process?
v v v v v v v v
a. Assessment
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Planning

Assessment involves gathering information about the patient and the drug, including any
v v v v v v v v v v v
previous use of the drug.

other examples are subjective data.

6. The nurse reviews a patient’s database and learns that the patient lives alone, is forgetful, and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
, does not have an established routine. The patient will be sent home with three new medications
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
to be taken at different times of the day. The nurse develops a daily medication chart and enlists
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
a family member to put the patient’s pills in a pill organizer. This is an example of which phase
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
of the nursing process?

7. A patient who is hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) wants to go
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
home. The nurse and the patient discuss the patient’s situation and decide that the patient may
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
go home when able to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia. This is an example of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
which phase of the nursing process?
v v v v v v
a. Assessment
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Planning
ANS: D v
Planning involves goal setting, which, for this patient, means being able to perform self-care
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
activities without dyspnea and hypoxia.

9. The nurse is developing a plan of care for a patient who has chronic lung disease and hypoxia.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
The patient has been admitted for increased oxygen needs above a baseline of 2 L/min. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
nurse develops a goal stating, “The patient will have oxygen saturations of >95% on room air at
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the time of discharge from the hospital.” What is wrong with this goal?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
a. It cannot be evaluated. v v v
