Question: A nurse is providing care using a
person-centred approach. Which action best
demonstrates this principle?
A. Following the same care routine for all patients
B. Making decisions based on hospital policy only
C. Involving the patient in planning their care goals
D. Prioritizing tasks based on nurse convenience
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Person-centred care requires that the
nurse actively involve the patient in decision-making
and care planning. This approach respects individual
preferences, values, and needs rather than applying
standardized or nurse-centred routines. Option A
ignores individuality, option B limits care to
institutional rules without personalization, and
option D is task-focused rather than patient-focused.
,Collaborative goal-setting improves adherence,
satisfaction, and outcomes by empowering the
patient in their own care journey.
Question: A nurse is applying clinical reasoning.
Which action reflects this process?
A. Completing documentation after each shift
B. Collecting data, interpreting findings, and
planning care
C. Following physician orders without question
D. Performing tasks in chronological order
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clinical reasoning involves critical
thinking where the nurse gathers patient data,
interprets it, and uses it to make informed care
decisions. This is not a mechanical task sequence but
a cognitive process guiding safe and effective care.
Option A is documentation, option C ignores
nursing judgment, and option D reflects task
management rather than analytical thinking.
,Question: A nurse must prioritize care for four
patients. Which patient should be seen first?
A. A patient requesting discharge paperwork
B. A patient with stable chronic back pain
C. A patient with shortness of breath and low
oxygen saturation
D. A patient needing medication education
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Priority setting follows ABC principles
(Airway, Breathing, Circulation). A patient with
respiratory distress and low oxygen saturation
indicates compromised oxygenation, which is life-
threatening and requires immediate intervention. The
other patients are stable or non-urgent, making them
lower priority.
Question (SATA): Which actions support
infection prevention and control?
A. Performing hand hygiene before patient contact
B. Reusing single-use equipment after cleaning
C. Using aseptic technique during wound care
D. Wearing gloves for all patient interactions
, regardless of risk
E. Cleaning equipment between patients
Correct Answers: A, C, E
Rationale: Infection control relies on breaking the
chain of infection. Hand hygiene before and after
patient contact reduces transmission risk. Aseptic
technique prevents contamination during invasive
procedures. Cleaning equipment between patients
reduces cross-contamination. Reusing single-use
items is unsafe, and gloves are not required for all
interactions—overuse can reduce proper hand
hygiene compliance.
Question: A nurse is practicing cultural safety.
Which action is most appropriate?
A. Assuming all patients from the same culture have
similar beliefs
B. Asking the patient about cultural preferences in
care
C. Avoiding discussion of cultural needs to prevent
discomfort
D. Providing care based only on clinical guidelines
