MULTIPLE CHOICE #olm




1. Which is a judgement about a particular patient ‘s potential need
orproblem?
a. A goal
b. An assessment
c. Subjective data
d. A nursing diagnosis
ANS: D
Nursing diagnosis is the phase of the nursing process during which
a clinical judgement is made about how a patient responds to heath conditions and life
processes or vulnerability for that response.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 11

2. The patient is to receive oral furosemide (Lasix) every day; however, because the patient is
unable to swallow, he cannot take medication orally, as ordered. The nurse needs to contact
the physician. What type of problem is this?
a. A ―right time‖ problem
b. A ―right dose‖ problem
c. A ―right route‖ problem
d. A ―right medication‖ problem
ANS: C
This is a ―right route‖ problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must clarify the route
with the prescriber. This is not a ―right time‖ problem because the ordered frequency has not
changed. This is not a ―right dose‖ problem because the dose is not related to an inability to
swallow. This is not a ―right medication‖ problem because the medication ordered will not
change, just the route.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 14

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient‘s progress on his new drug regimen since the first
dose and has been documenting signs of possible adverse effects. What nursing process phase
is the nurse practising?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Nursing diagnosis

ANS: B
Monitoring the patient‘s progress is part of the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation,
and nursing diagnosis are not illustrated by this example.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 19

,4. The nurse is caring for a patient who has been newly diagnosed with type 1

diabetes mellitus. Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




patient?
#olm




a. The patient will follow instructions.
#olm #olm #olm #olm



b. The patient will not experience complications.
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



c. The patient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



d. The patient demonstrates safe insulin self-administration technique.
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




ANS: #olm
D
Having the patient demonstrate safe insulin self-administration technique is a
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




specific and measurable outcome criterion. Following instructions and avoiding
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




complications are not specific criteria. Adherence to the new insulin treatment
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




regimen is not objective and would be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




a. Providing education regarding self-injection technique #olm #olm #olm #olm



b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient‘s input
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



c. Recording a history of over-the-counter medications used at home
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




d. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficits related to the #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




new treatment regimen
#olm #olm #olm




ANS: #olm
A
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




goals and outcome criteria reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




reflects the assessment phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding a knowledge
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




deficit reflects analysis of data as part of the planning phase.N

6. The nurse is working during a very busy night shift, and the health care provider
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




has just given the nurse a medication order over the telephone, but the nurse does
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




not recall the route. What is the best way for the nurse to avoid medication
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




errors?
#olm



a. Recopy the order neatly on the order sheet, with the most common route indicated
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



b. Consult with the pharmacist for clarification about the most common route
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



c. Call the health care provider to clarify the route of administration
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm



d. Withhold the drug until the health care provider visits the patient
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




ANS: #olm
C
If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the health care
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




provider to clarify it. Never assume the route of administration.

7. Which constitutes the traditional Five Rights of medication administration?

d. Right patient, right diagnosis, right drug, right route, and right time

ANS: #olm
A

, The traditional Five Rights of medication administration were considered to be
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




Right drug, Right route, Right dose, Right time, and Right patient. Right effect,
#olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm #olm




right strength, and right diagnosis are not part of the traditional Five Rights.

other phases.

with regard to any drug–food interactions or compatibility issues. The patient‘s

weight, and drug or food allergies are not affected by the drug‘s timing.
