Ignatavicius Chapter 1 (Evolve)
1. Which important aspect of coordinating care with the interdisciplinary
team is facilitated by use of the "SBAR" and "PACE" procedures?
A. Communication
B. Implementation
C. Policymaking
D. Protocol development: A. Communication
SBAR and PACE are acronyms for "hand-off" methods of
communication used by health care organizations to share information
between shifts and between departments. SBAR and PACE are not
types of implementation [of client care]. Implementation, the fourth
step of the nursing process, is an action rather than a coordination of
care. SBAR and PACE are not types of policymaking or protocol
development.
2. The nurse educator is instructing newly hired registered nurses about
patient-centered care. Which competency categories are included in this
con- tent? (Select all that apply)
A. Attitudes
B. Environments
C. Judgments
D. Knowledge
E. Skills
F.Values: A. Attitudes
D. Knowledge
E. Skills
Attitudes, knowledge, and skills are the patient-centered care
competencies needed to ensure quality care. These characteristics,
which were developed by the Institute of Medicine and the Quality and
Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) groups, are the areas cited and
enumerated by both groups. A delineation (and examples of each) of
knowledge, skills, and attitudes constitutes competent nursing practice.
Environment, sound nursing judgments, and values are important to the
client's care but are not included in the patient-centered care
competencies.
3. Bedside computers are an example of informatics used in health
care primarily for which purpose?
, Ignatavicius Chapter 1 (Evolve)
A. Documenting interdisciplinary care
B. Enhancing collaboration and coordination of care
, Ignatavicius Chapter 1 (Evolve)
C. Offering clients access to e-mail and the internet
D. Retrieving data for evidence-based practice: A. Documenting
interdisciplinary care
The largest application of health care informatics is the growing trend
of the use of electronic medical records (EMRs) for documenting
interdisciplinary care. Com- puters may be located at the client's
bedside or in the treatment room for ease
of access for documentation. Computers allow quick communication
among health care professionals to enhance collaboration and
coordination of care; however, this type of communication typically
would not take place at the client's bedside. Bedside computers in the
health care setting are not intended for client use. The Internet provides
ways to search multiple sources of information and retrieve data
efficiently; however, this would not be done at the client's bedside.
4. A nurse has recently been assigned to a medical-surgical clinical
rotation. According to the scope of medical-surgical nursing, what type of
client as- signments does the nurse expect to see?
A. Hospitalized children with acute and chronic illnesses
B. Hospitalized adults with acute and chronic illnesses
C. Older adults in a nursing home
D. Working adults in a corporate setting: B. Hospitalized adults with
acute and chronic illnesses
The scope of medical-surgical nursing, sometimes called adult health
nursing, is to promote health and prevent illness or injury in clients from
18 to 100 years of age or older. The most common practice setting is
the acute care hospital. Hospitalized children with acute and chronic
illnesses are commonly seen in pediatric nursing.
Older adults in a nursing home are commonly seen in geriatric
nursing. Working adults in a corporate setting are commonly seen by
occupational health nurses.
5. Which of these hospital staff members will the nurse manager assign to
coordinate the discharge of a client who will need community-based
rehabili- tation services after a traumatic injury?
A. The nurse who is responsible for the client's case management
B. The physical therapist who developed the client's exercise program
