, 4. When listening to a patient‘s breath sounds, the nurse is unsure of a sound that
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


xx isheard. Which action would the nurse take next?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


a. Notify the patient‘s physician. xx xx xx


b. Document the sound exactly as it was heard. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


c. Validate the data by asking another nurse to listen to the breath sounds.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




ANS: C xx


When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patient‘s breath sounds, the nurse
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


validates the data to ensure accuracy by either repeating the assessment themselves or
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


asking another nurse to assess the breath sounds. If the nurse has less experience
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


analyzing breath sounds, then he or she should ask an expert to listen. When unsure of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


a sound heard while listening to a patient‘s breath sounds, the nurse should validate the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


data before documenting to ensure accuracy and before notifying the patient‘s
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


physician. To validate that data, the nurse either repeats the assessment himself or
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


herself or asks another nurse to assess the breath sounds.

5. The nurse is conducting a class for new graduate nurses. While teaching the class, what
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


would the nurse keep in mind regarding what novice nurses, without a background of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


skills and experience from which to draw upon, are more likely to base their decisions
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


on?
xx


a. Intuition
b. A set of rules xx xx xx


c. Articles in journals xx xx


d. Advice from supervisors xx xx




ANS: B xx


Novice nurses operate from a set of defined, structured rules to make decisions. It takes
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


time, perhaps a few years, in similar clinical situations to achieve competency and it is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


functioning at the level of an expert practitioner when intuition is included in making
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


clinical decisions. While information in journal articles and advice from supervisors may
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


assist in making decisions, novice nurses do not typically base their decisions on them.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


It would also be important that if information from journal articles and advice from
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


supervisors were used, that they were evidence based.

6. The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based practice (EBP). Which
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


statement best reflects EBP?
xx xx xx xx


a. EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


b. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


c. EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the clinician‘s experience.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. EBP does not consider the patient‘s own preferences as important.
