CHOICE
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and
discharge goals will be developed with the patient’s input. The patient states,
“How is this different fromwhat the doctor does?” Which response would be most
appropriate for the nurse to make?
a. “The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments
prescribedby your doctor.”
b. “The nurse’s job is to help the doctor by collecting
, information andcommunicating any problems that occur.”
c. “Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but
nurses are withthe patients for a longer time than the doctor.”
d. “In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will
assist you todevelop an individualized plan to maintain your
health.”
ANS: D
This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA)
definition of nursing, which describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The
other responses describesome of the dependent and collaborative functions of
the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse’s role in the health care
system.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice
guidelines whencaring for patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse,
would be the most accurate?
a. “Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide.”
b. “Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.”
c. “Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.”
d. “Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise,
and patientpreferences.”
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence
combined withclinician expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurse’s
clinical experience is part of EBP,but clinical decision making should also
incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of
patient outcomes is important, but interventions should be based onresearch
from randomized control studies with a large number of subjects.

3. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process
when providingpatient care. Which statement, if made by the student nurse,
indicates that teaching was successful?
a. “The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing
the patient’shealth care problems.”
b. “The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat
patients’
health care needs.”
c. “The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing
interventions to otherhealth care professionals.”
d. “The nursing process is based on nursing theory that
incorporates thebiopsychosocial nature of humans.”
