MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The Nurse Completes An Admission Database And Explains That The Plan Of Care And
Discharge Goals Will Be Developed With The Patient’s 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 Nurse’s 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 Nurse’s Role In The Health Care System.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension) REF:3
TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe And Effective Care Environment
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 Nurse’s 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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember (Knowledge) REF:15
TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Safe And Effective Care Environment
3. 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
Patient’s Health Care Problems.”
