MULTIPLE CHOICE zl




1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge go

als will be developed with the patient‘s input. The patient asks, “How is this different from what t

he physician does?” Which response would the nurse provide?
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl



a. “The role of the nurseis to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by

your physician.” zl



b. “In addition to caringfor you while you aresick, the nurses will help you plan to mai

ntain your health.” zl zl



c. “Thenurse‘s job is to collect information and communicate anyproblems that occ

ur to the physician.” zl zl zl

h the patients for a longer time than the physician.”

omoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of the nurs

ing role but do not accurately describe the nurse‘s unique role in thehealth care system.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research- zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl
