CHOICE

1. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process when providing patient care.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




Which statement, if made by the student nurse, indicates that teaching was successful?
J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patients health care problems.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




b. The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients health care needs.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




c. The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




humans.


d. The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other health care
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




professionals.


ANS: B J




The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of patients problems.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




establish nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice guidelines when caring for
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse, would be the most accurate?
J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide. J J J J J J J J J




b. Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.
J J J J J J J J J




c. Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.
J J J J J J J J J J J




d. Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. J J J J J J J J J




ANS: D J




Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with clinician
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




making should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with a large
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




number of subjects. J J

3. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge goals will be
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




developed with the patients input. The patient states, How is this different from what the doctor does? Which
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




response would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
J J J J J J J J J




a. The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by your doctor.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




b. The nurses job is to help the doctor by collecting information and communicating any problems that
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




occur.


c. Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses are with the patients for a longer
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




time than the doctor. J J J




d. In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will assist you to develop an
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




individualized plan to maintain your health. J J J J J




ANS: D J




This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing, which
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses describe some of the dependent and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




collaborative functions of the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurses role in the health care system.

4. A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure ulcer on the left hip Which
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?J J J J




a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis J J J J J J




b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness
J J J J J J J J




c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure J J J J J J J J




d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently J J J J J J J J




ANS: C J




The patients major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of a pressure ulcer. The
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by frequently repositioning the patient. Although
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




left-sided weakness is a problem for the patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The risk for diagnosis
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




is not appropriate for this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The patient does have ineffective tissue
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the health problem is.

5. A patient has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, I do not feel comfortable leaving my

children with my parents. Which action should the nurse take next?
