Q1.
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit notices that a colleague is consistently documenting
medications as administered before actually giving them. When confronted, the colleague
says, "I do it to save time; I always give them right after." Which ethical principle is the
colleague primarily violating?
A. Beneficence B. Fidelity
C. Nonmaleficence D. Justice
Correct: B - Fidelity
Rationale:Fidelity is the principle of keeping promises and being faithful to one's professional
obligations. Documenting before administration is a breach of fidelity to the nursing standard
of practice, as it misrepresents the care provided. Beneficence (doing good) and
nonmaleficence (avoiding harm) may be secondarily impacted, but the core violation is
fidelity. Justice refers to fairness, which is not the primary issue here.
Q2.
A nurse is assigned to care for four patients. Which task is most appropriate to delegate
to a licensed practical nurse (LPN)?
A. Assessment of a patient with new-onset B. Administration of IV push morphine to a
confusion post-operative patient
C. Reinforcement of teaching about insulin D. Evaluation of the effectiveness of a
self-administration to a newly diagnosed patient's pain medication
diabetic
Correct: C - Reinforcement of teaching about insulin self-administration to a newly
diagnosed diabetic
Rationale:LPNs can reinforce teaching, but cannot initiate or evaluate the teaching process;
the RN must provide the initial education and evaluate outcomes. LPNs cannot perform initial
assessments, administer IV push medications (varies by state, but generally not safe), or
evaluate patient responses. The RN retains responsibility for assessment, IV push meds, and
evaluation.
Q3.
A nurse is reviewing a study that reports a relative risk reduction (RRR) of 30% for a new
medication. The control group has a 20% incidence of the outcome. What is the absolute
risk reduction (ARR) in the treatment group?
Page 3
, Section A - Appropriate
A. 6% B. 14%
C. 20% D. 30%
Correct: A - 6%
Rationale:RRR = (CER - EER) / CER. Given CER=0.20 and RRR=0.30, the event rate in the
treatment group (EER) is 0.20 - (0.30*0.20) = 0.14. ARR = CER - EER = 0.20 - 0.14 = 0.06,
or 6%. The other options reflect common misinterpretations of RRR and ARR.
Q4.
A nursing unit is experiencing a high rate of medication errors. The manager implements
a root cause analysis (RCA) for the most recent serious error. What is the primary purpose
of the RCA?
A. To determine who is at fault for the error B. To identify the underlying systemic
causes of the error
C. To discipline the nurse involved to D. To document the error for legal purposes
prevent future errors
Correct: B - To identify the underlying systemic causes of the error
Rationale:RCA is a systematic process used to identify the root causes of errors or near
misses, focusing on system failures rather than individual blame. The goal is to develop
corrective actions to prevent recurrence. It is not about assigning blame, discipline, or legal
documentation, though findings may inform such processes.
Q5.
A nurse is using the EHR to document care. Which action demonstrates appropriate use
of informatics to promote patient safety?
A. Using the copy-forward function to B. Reviewing the medication administration
duplicate previous assessment data record (MAR) for allergies before giving a
new medication
C. Documenting in the patient's chart while D. Sharing login credentials with a nursing
at the bedside to ensure accuracy student to facilitate learning
Correct: B - Reviewing the medication administration record (MAR) for allergies before
giving a new medication
Rationale:Using the MAR to check allergies is a standard safety measure that leverages
informatics to prevent adverse drug events. Copy-forward can propagate errors, documenting
at the bedside may violate privacy, and sharing credentials compromises security. Informatics
should be used to enhance safety, not shortcut or breach confidentiality.
