MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.Whích ís a judgement about a partícular patíent’s potentíal need or problem?
a. A goal
b. An assessment
c. Subjectíve data
d. A nursíng díagnosís
ANS: D
Nursíng díagnosís ís the phase of the nursíng process duríng whích a clínícal judgement ís made about how a
patíent responds to
heath condítíons and lífe processes or vulnerabílíty for that response.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Knowledge
2.The patíent ís to receíve oral furosemíde (Lasíx) every day; however, because the patíent ís unable to
swallow, he cannot take
medícatíon orally, as ordered. The nurse needs to contact the physícían. What type of problem ís thís?
a. A “ríght tíme” problem
b. A “ríght dose” problem
c. A “ríght route” problem
d. A “ríght medícatíon” problem
ANS: C
Thís ís a “ríght route” problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must clarífy the route wíth the
prescríber. Thís ís not a “ríght
tíme” problem because the ordered frequency has not changed. Thís ís not a “ríght dose” problem
because the dose ís not related to
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Applícatíon
3.The nurse has been monítoríng the patíent’s progress on hís new drug regímen sínce the fírst dose and has
been documentíng sígns
of possíble adverse effects. What nursíng process phase ís the nurse practísíng?
a. Planníng
b. Evaluatíon
c. Implementatíon
d. Nursíng díagnosís
ANS: B
Monítoríng the patíent’s progress ís part of the evaluatíon phase. Planníng, ímplementatíon, and nursíng
díagnosís are not
íllustrated by thís example.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Applícatíon
4.The nurse ís caríng for a patíent who has been newly díagnosed wíth type 1 díabetes mellítus. Whích
statement best íllustrates an
, outcome críteríon for thís patíent?
a. The patíent wíll follow ínstructíons.
b. The patíent wíll not experíence complícatíons.
c. The patíent adheres to the new ínsulín treatment regímen.
d. The patíent demonstrates safe ínsulín self-admínístratíon techníque.
ANS: D
Havíng the patíent demonstrate safe ínsulín self-admínístratíon techníque ís a specífíc and measurable
outcome críteríon. Followíng
ínstructíons and avoídíng complícatíons are not specífíc crítería. Adherence to the new ínsulín treatment
regímen ís not objectíve
and would be díffícult to measure.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Applícatíon
5.Whích actívíty best reflects the ímplementatíon phase of the nursíng process for the patíent who ís newly
díagnosed wíth type 1
díabetes mellítus?
a. Provídíng educatíon regardíng self-ínjectíon techníque
b. Settíng goals and outcome crítería wíth the patíent’s ínput
c. Recordíng a hístory of over-the-counter medícatíons used at home
d. Formulatíng nursíng díagnoses regardíng knowledge defícíts related to the new
treatment regímen
ANS: A
Educatíon ís an ínterventíon that occurs duríng the ímplementatíon phase. Settíng goals and outcome
crítería reflects the planníng
phase. Recordíng a drug hístory reflects the assessment phase. Formulatíng nursíng díagnoses regardíng a
knowledge defícít
reflects analysís of data as part of the planníng phase.

6.The nurse ís workíng duríng a very busy níght shíft, and the health care províder has just gíven the nurse a
medícatíon order over
the telephone, but the nurse does not recall the route. What ís the best way for the nurse to avoíd
medícatíon errors?
a. Recopy the order neatly on the order sheet, wíth the most common route índícated
b. Consult wíth the pharmacíst for clarífícatíon about the most common route
c. Call the health care províder to clarífy the route of admínístratíon
d. Wíthhold the drug untíl the health care províder vísíts the patíent
ANS: C
If a medícatíon order does not ínclude the route, the nurse must ask the health care províder to clarífy ít.
Never assume the route of
admínístratíon.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Applícatíon | Cognítíve Level: Analysís
7.Whích constítutes the tradítíonal Fíve Ríghts of medícatíon admínístratíon?
a. Ríght drug, ríght route, ríght dose, ríght tíme, and ríght patíent
b. Ríght drug, the ríght effect, the ríght route, the ríght tíme, and the ríght patíent
c. Ríght patíent, ríght strength, ríght díagnosís, ríght drug, and ríght route
d. Ríght patíent, ríght díagnosís, ríght drug, ríght route, and ríght tíme
ANS: A
The tradítíonal Fíve Ríghts of medícatíon admínístratíon were consídered to be Ríght drug, Ríght route,
Ríght dose, Ríght tíme, and
Ríght patíent. Ríght effect, ríght strength, and ríght díagnosís are not part of the tradítíonal Fíve Ríghts.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Comprehensíon
8.What correctly descríbes the nursíng process?
a. Díagnosíng, planníng, assessíng, ímplementíng, and fínally evaluatíng
b. Assessíng, then díagnosíng, ímplementíng, and endíng wíth evaluatíng
c. A línear dírectíon that begíns wíth assessíng and contínues through díagnosíng,
planníng, and fínally ímplementíng
d. An ongoíng process that begíns wíth assessíng and contínues wíth díagnosíng,
planníng, ímplementíng, and evaluatíng
The nursíng process ís an ongoíng, flexíble, adaptable, and adjustable fíve-step process that begíns wíth
assessíng and contínues
through díagnosíng, planníng, ímplementíng, and fínally evaluatíng, whích may then lead back to any of
the other phases.
DIF: Cognítíve Level: Applícatíon
9.When the nurse ís consíderíng the tímíng of a drug dose, whích ís most ímportant to assess?
a. The patíent’s ídentífícatíon
b. The patíent’s weíght
c. The patíent’s last meal
d. Any drug or food allergíes
ANS: C
The pharmacokínetíc and pharmacodynamíc propertíes of the drug need to be assessed wíth regard to any
drug–food ínteractíons or
compatíbílíty íssues. The patíent’s ídentífícatíon, weíght, and drug or food allergíes are not affected by the
drug’s tímíng.
