ROLE AND SCOPE 2026 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Which statement made by a nurse demonstrates the appropriate attitude regarding
the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
A. "I've asked other nurses and they tell me this is how it's done here at this facility."
B. "I'll ask the client how he feels this particular health issue should be best handled."
C. "The client's general health has improved so much since the team has addressed her
care."
D. "I lack direct experience with this type of problem, so I'll bring it up at the team
meeting." - ✔✔D
Acknowledging one's own limitations in knowledge and clinical expertise before
determining when to deviate from evidence-based best practice demonstrates good
nursing practice. Discussing care with team members, especially when addressing
EBP, is demonstrating sound judgment. Relying only on how things were done in the
past is not necessarily reflective of EBP. Although including the client in decisions
regarding care is appropriate, there are limits to the value of the client's input,
particularly when it comes to treatment-related issues regarding aspects of which they
have no expertise.
✔✔How can a nurse manager best foster high-quality and safe nursing care among the
nursing staff?
A. Praise the staff's efforts to provide care that is both safe and of high quality
B. Offer incentives to those providing specific interventions that are safety and quality
focused
C. Create a unit culture where asking questions about health care interventions is
encouraged
D. Place great emphasis on how important safe, high-quality nursing care is to the
client's health - ✔✔C
Health care organizations focusing on quality and safety encourage inquiry, making it
okay to ask questions and providing resources to access information needed through
various means, including informatics. Although praise and incentives are appropriate,
they are not effective if the unit culture is not accepting. Placing emphasis on such
interventions alone will not be successful if not supported by nursing managers and
leaders.
✔✔Which nursing role is basic to the nursing profession?
A. Leader and manager
B. Client advocate
C. Care provider

therapist is responsible for assessment and maintenance of the client's airway and
respiratory equipment used for diagnosis and therapy of respiratory disorders. The

disabilities to become independent in activities of daily living, such as dressing,
grooming, bathing, and eating.

level nursing students, a nursing administrator shares that:
A. "Follow your heart; you know right now what type of nursing you want to do."

reality." - ✔✔C
