________________________________________ MULTICHOICE QUESTIONS ________________________________________ UNIT 1: PRINCIPLES OF NURSING PRACTICE Chapter 1: Professional Nursing Practice 1. A nurse is caring for a patient who is postoperative day 2 following abdominal surgery. The patient reports pain at the incision site rated 7 on a 0–10 scale. The nurse administers the prescribed analgesic and re-assesses the patient's pain 30 minutes later. This nursing action best demonstrates which component of the nursing process? • A. Assessment • B. Diagnosis • C. Implementation • D. Evaluation Correct Answer: D Rationale: Evaluation is the component of the nursing process that involves determining whether the patient's goals have been met and whether the interventions were effective. By re-assessing the patient's pain after administering the analgesic, the nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of the intervention. Assessment (A) involves collecting data, Diagnosis (B) involves identifying problems, and Implementation (C) involves carrying out interventions. DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying KEY: Nursing Process: Evaluation MSC: Management of Care ________________________________________ 2. A newly licensed nurse is orienting to a medical-surgical unit. The preceptor explains that evidence-based practice (EBP) is fundamental to professional nursing. Which statement by the newly licensed nurse indicates a correct understanding of EBP? • A. "Evidence-based practice means following the hospital's policies and procedures without question." • B. "Evidence-based practice integrates the best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences." • C. "Evidence-based practice relies solely on randomized controlled trials to guide nursing care." • D. "Evidence-based practice is a research methodology used to generate new nursing knowledge." Correct Answer: B Rationale: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined as the integration of the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and preferences. It is not simply following policies (A), relying solely on RCTs (C), or a research methodology (D), though research informs EBP. DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding KEY: Evidence-Based Practice MSC: Management of Care ________________________________________ 3. A nurse is preparing to delegate a task to a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN). According to the principles of delegation, which task is most appropriate for the nurse to delegate to the LPN/LVN? • A. Performing the initial admission assessment on a newly admitted patient • B. Administering oral medications to stable patients on the unit • C. Developing the plan of care for a patient with diabetes • D. Evaluating the effectiveness of patient teaching regarding insulin administration Correct Answer: B Rationale: The LPN/LVN can administer oral medications to stable patients. The RN is responsible for the initial assessment (A), developing the plan of care (C), and evaluating patient teaching (D), as these require higher-level nursing judgment and are beyond the scope of LPN/LVN practice. DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying KEY: Delegation MSC: Management of Care ________________________________________ 4. A nurse is caring for a patient who is refusing a prescribed blood transfusion based on religious beliefs. The nurse advocates for the patient's right to refuse treatment. This action best demonstrates which ethical principle? • A. Beneficence • B. Nonmaleficence • C. Autonomy • D. Justice Correct Answer: C Rationale: Autonomy refers to the patient's right to make their own decisions regarding healthcare, including the right to refuse treatment. Beneficence (A) means doing good, nonmaleficence (B) means avoiding harm, and justice (D) refers to fairness in treatment distribution. By supporting the patient's refusal, the nurse is upholding the patient's autonomy. DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding KEY: Ethical Principles MSC: Management of Care ________________________________________ 5. A nurse is providing education to a group of nursing students about the standards of professional nursing practice. Which statement accurately describes the role of the American Nurses Association (ANA) in establishing these standards? • A. The ANA develops standards of practice that are legally enforceable in all 50 states. • B. The ANA publishes the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements that guides nursing practice. • C. The ANA mandates specific clinical competencies that all nurses must achieve annually. • D. The ANA sets the curriculum requirements for all accredited nursing programs. Correct Answer: B Rationale: The ANA publishes the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, which provides guidance for ethical nursing practice. The standards are not legally enforceable (A), the ANA does not mandate annual competencies (C), and curriculum requirements are set by accrediting bodies, not the ANA (D).
