ANS: C When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patient’s breath sounds, the nurse validates the data to ensure accuracy by either repeating the assessment themselves or asking another nurse to assess the breath sounds. If the nurse has less experience analyzing breath sounds, then he or she should ask an expert to listen.

While teaching the class, what should the nurse keep in mind regarding what novice nurses, without a background of skills and experience from which to draw upon, are more likely to base their decisions on? a. Intuition b. A set of rules c. Articles in journals d. Advice from supervisors ANS: B Novice nurses operate from a set of defined, structured rules to make decisions. It takes time, perhaps a few years, in similar clinical situations to achieve competency and it is functioning at the level of an expert practitioner when intuition is included in making clinical decisions. Intuition is included in decision making when functioning at the level of an expert practitioner. While information in journal articles and advice from supervisors may assist in making decisions, novice nurses do not typically base their decisions on them. It would also be important that if information from journal articles and advice from supervisors were used, that they were evidence based.
