, A. twice a year.
Rationale: Twice a year disaster drills should be held to test the plans
developed by the planning committee and to education staff on roles and
plans.
What trait of professionalism is used to describe telling the truth and keeping

A. Honesty
B. Veracity
C. Fidelity
D. Excellence

An unscrubbed person may perform a two-step skin prep using:

B. sterile gloves donned in the closed-glove fashion.
C. unsterile gloves donned in the open-glove fashion.

, D. sterile gloves donned in the open-gloved fashion.
Rationale: Sterile gloves are donned by the person doing the prep using
the open glove method for the two-step prep.
8. Actively warming surgical patients with forced air to prevent hypothermia should
begin:
A. as soon as the patient enters the OR or procedure room
B. in the recovery room
C. in the preoperative holding area
D. just before the surgeon makes the incision
Give this one a try later!
C. in the preoperative holding area
Rationale: Research has shown that, to be most effective, forced air
warming should be initiated in the preoperative holding area and
continued intraoperatively. Preoperatively warming the patient with forced
air warming before induction of anesthesia minimizes heat loss more
effectively than use of warmed cotton blankets alone.
A health care facility is considering the purchase of a new electrocautery unit. The

The perioperative patient's transition from phase I to phase II level of care is based
on:
A. the length of time the patient has been in phase I
B. the nurse's assessment of the patient
C. the patient's blood pressure measurement
D. the patient's oxygen saturation
Give this one a try later!
B. the nurse's assessment of the patient
Rationale: There is not length of time requirement for the patient's stay in
phase I. The length of time is dependent on the nurse's assessment of the
patient's status. Although blood pressure measurement and oxygen
saturation are both components of a patient assessment, the patient
assessment contains blood pressure measurement, oxygen saturation,
minimal pain, absent of controlled nausea and vomiting, uncompromised
cardiopulmonary status, stable vital signs, urine output of more than 30mL
per hour, and the ability to maintain open airway.
What professional nursing behavior is evidenced by mutual trust, recognition, and
respect among all members of the health care team in shared decision-making
process?
A. Conflict resolution
B. Just culture
