multiple choice
1. the perioperative patient focused model presents key components of
nursing influence that guide patient care. select the statement that best describes
the dynamic relationship within the model.
a. the patient experience and the nursing presence are in continuous
interaction.
b. structure, process, and outcome are the foundation domains of the model.
c. the perioperative nurse is the central dynamic core of the model.
d. the interrelated nursing process rings bind the patient to the model.
ANS>>a
the perioperative patient focused model consists of domains or areas of nursing
concern: nursing diagnoses, nursing interventions, and patient outcomes. these
domains are in continuous interaction with the health system that encircles the
focus of perioperative nursing practice—the patient.
2. the association of perioperative registered nurses’ (aorn) standards of
perioperative nursing describes nursing interactions, interventions, and activities
with patients. this is based on which standards category?
a. evidence-based
, b. process
c. outcome
d. structural
ANS>>b
process standards relate to nursing activities, interventions, and interactions. they
are used to explicate clinical, professional, and quality objectives in perioperative
nursing.
3. which order best describes the process used to implement evidence-based
professional nursing?
a. literature search, theory review, data analysis, policy development
b. regional survey, literature search, meta-analysis, practice change
c. identify problem, scientific evidence, develop policy, evaluate outcome
d. identify issue, analyze scientific evidence, implement change, evaluate
process
ANS>>d
evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an
issue, to collect and evaluate the best evidence to design and implement a
practice change, and to evaluate the process.
4. the ambulatory surgery unit is planning to develop a standardized skin
preparation practice for their unit. the best process to gather scientific information
is to:
a. conduct a survey of skin prep policies at the next aorn chapter meeting.
b. review their surgical site infection data from the last 6 months.
c. conduct a literature search on antimicrobial agents and infection
prevention.
