Subjective data is based on what patients or family members communicate to the nurse. Patient-
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



reported health history, signs and symptoms, and caregiver reported financial barriers would be
k k k k k k k k k k k k k

2. The nurse is using data collected to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



koutcomes. Which of the following steps is the nurse applying?
k k k k k k k k k



a. Recognizing cues (assessment) k k



b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis) k k k k k



c. Generatesolutions (planning) k k



d. Take action (nursing interventions) k k k




ANS: C k



When generating solutions (planning), the nurse identifies expected outcomes and uses the
k k k k k k k k k k k



patient‘s problem(s) to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable outcomes.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



Recognizing cues (assessment) involves the gathering of cues (information) from the patient
k k k k k k k k k k k k



about their health and lifestyle practices, which are important facts that aid the nurse in making
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



clinical care decisions. Prioritizing hypothesis is used to organize and rank the patient problem(s)
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



identified. Finally, taking action involves implementation of nursing interventions to accomplish
k k k k k k k k k k k



the expected outcomes.

3. A 5-year-old child with type 1 diabetes mellitus has had repeated hospitalizations for episodes of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



hyperglycemia. The parents tell the nurse that they can‘t keep track of everything that has to be
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



done to care for their child. The nurse reviews medications, diet, and symptom management with
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



the parents and draws up a daily checklist for the family to use. These activities are completed in
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



which step of the nursing process?

ANS: D k



Taking action through nursing interventions is where the nurse provides patient health teaching,
k k k k k k k k k k k k



drug administration, patient care, and other interventions necessary to assist the patient in
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



accomplishing expected outcomes.

4. The nurse is preparing to administer a medication and reviews the patient‘s chart for drug
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



allergies, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The nurse‘s actions are
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



reflective of which of the following?

a. Recognizing cues (assessment) k k



b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis) k k k k k



c. Take action (nursing interventions)

d. Generatesolutions (planning) k k




ANS: A k



Recognizing cues (assessment) involves gathering subjective and objective information about the
k k k k k k k k k k



patient and the medication. Laboratory values from the patient‘s chart would be considered
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



collection of objective data.

6. The nurse reviews a patient‘s database and learns that the patient lives alone, is forgetful, and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



does not have an established routine. The patient will be sent home with three new medications to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



be taken at different times of the day. The nurse develops a daily medication chart and enlists a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



family member to put the patient‘s pills in a pill organizer. This is an example of which element
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



of the nursing process?

7. A patient who is hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) wants to go
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



home. The nurse and the patient discuss the patient‘s situation and decide that the patient may go
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



home when able to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia. This is an example of which
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



phase of the nursing process?

d. Generatesolutions (planning) k k




ANS: D k



Generating solutions (planning) involves defining a set of interventions to achieve the most
k k k k k k k k k k k k



desirable outcomes, which, for this patient, means being able to perform self-care activities
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



without dyspnea and hypoxia.

8. A patient will be sent home with a metered-dose inhaler, and the nurse is providing teaching.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kWhich is a correctly written expected outcome for this process?
k k k k k k k k k



a. The nurse will demonstrate the correct use of a metered-dose inhaler to the patient.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



b. The nurse will teach the patient how to administer medication with a metered-dose
k k k k k k k k k k k k



kinhaler.
c. The patient will know how to self-administer the medication using the metered-
k k k k k k k k k k k



kdose inhaler. k



d. The patient will independently administer the medication using the metered-dose
k k k k k k k k k



kinhaler at the end of the session. k k k k k k




ANS: D k



Expected outcomes must be patient-centered and clearly state the outcome with a reasonable
k k k k k k k k k k k k



deadline and should identify components for evaluation.

9. The nurse is generating solutions (planning) for a patient who has chronic lung disease and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



hypoxia. The patient has been admitted for increased oxygen needs above a baseline of 2 L/min.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



The nurse generates an expected outcomes stating, ―The patient will have oxygen saturations of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



>95% on room air at the time of discharge from the hospital.‖ What is wrong with this goal?
