| MULTIPLE

CHOICE
|



1. The |nurse |teaches |a |student |nurse |about |how |to |apply |the |nursing |process |when |providing |patient |care.
|Which |statement, |if |made |by |the |student |nurse, |indicates |that |teaching |was |successful?




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


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


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




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




ANS: | B

The |nursing |process |is |a |problem-solving |approach |to |the |identification |and |treatment |of |patients |problems.
|Diagnosis |is |only |one |phase |of |the |nursing |process. |The |primary |use |of |the |nursing |process |is |in |patient |care,

| not |to |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
|patients. |Which |statement, |if |made |by |the |nurse, |would |be |the |most |accurate?




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


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


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


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


ANS: |D

Evidence-based | practice | (EBP) | is | the | use | of | the | best | research-based | evidence | combined | with | clinician
|expertise. | Clinical | judgment | based | on | the | nurses | clinical | experience | is | part | of | EBP, | but | clinical | decision

|making | should | also | incorporate | current | research | and | research-based | guidelines. | Evaluation | of | patient

| outcomes |is | important, | but | interventions | should | be | based | on | research | from | randomized | control | studies | with

| a | large |number |of |subjects.

3. The |nurse |completes |an |admission |database |and |explains |that |the |plan |of |care |and |discharge |goals |will |be
|developed |with |the |patients |input. |The |patient |states, |How |is |this |different |from |what |the |doctor |does? |Which

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




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


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




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




d. In |addition |to |caring |for |you |while |you |are |sick, |the |nurses |will |assist |you |to |develop |an
|individualized |plan |to |maintain |your |health.




ANS: |D

This |response |is |consistent |with |the |American |Nurses |Association |(ANA) |definition |of |nursing, |which
|describes |the |role |of |nurses |in |promoting |health. |The |other |responses |describe |some |of |the |dependent |and

| 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 |nursing |diagnosis |is |most |appropriate?




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


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


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


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


ANS: |C
|



The |patients |major |problem |is |the |impaired |skin |integrity |as |demonstrated |by |the |presence |of |a |pressure |ulcer.
| The |nurse |is |able |to |treat |the |cause |of |altered |circulation |and |pressure |by |frequently |repositioning |the |patient.

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

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

|ineffective |tissue |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?
