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

2. The patient is to receive oral furosemide (Lasix) every day; however, because the patient is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
unable to swallow, he cannot take medication orally, as ordered. The nurse needs to contact the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
physician. What type of problem is this?
J J J J J J J
a. A―righttime‖problem J J J
b. A ―right dose‖ problem J J J
c. A ―right route‖ problem J J J
d. A ―right medication‖ problem
J J J
ANS: C J
This is a ―right route‖problem: thenursecannot assumethe routeand must clarifythe route

withtheprescriber.This is not a―right time‖problembecausetheordered frequencyhas not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
changed. This is not a ―right dose‖ problem because the dose is not related to an inabilityto
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
swallow. This is not a ―right medication‖ problem because the medication ordered will not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
change, just the route.

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient‘s progress on his new drug regimen since the first dose
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
and has been documenting signs of possible adverse effects. What nursing process phase is the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
nurse practising?
J J
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Implementation
d. Nursing diagnosis J
ANS: B J
Monitoring the patient‘s progress is part of the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation, andJ J J J J J J J J J J J
nursing diagnosis are not illustrated by this example.

,4. The nurse is caring for a patient who has been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this patient?
J J J J J J J J J J
a. The patient will follow instructions. J J J J
b. Thepatient will not experience complications. J J J J J
c. Thepatient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.
J J J J J J J J
d. Thepatient demonstrates safeinsulin self-administration technique.
J J J J J J
ANS: D J
Having the patient demonstrate safe insulin self-administration technique is a specific and
J J J J J J J J J J J
measurable outcome criterion. Following instructions and avoiding complications are not
J J J J J J J J J J
specific criteria. Adherence to the new insulin treatment regimen is not objective and would be
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
difficult to measure.

5. Which activitybest reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the patient who
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
J J J J J J J
a. Providingeducation regarding self-injection technique J J J J
b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient‘s input J J J J J J J J
c. Recording a historyof over-the-counter medications used at home J J J J J J J J
d. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficits related to the new J J J J J J J J J
treatment regimen
J J
ANS: A J
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
J J J J J J J J J J J J
outcome criteria reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug historyreflects the assessment
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding a knowledge deficit reflects analysis of data as
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
part of the planning phase.N

6. The nurse is working during a very busy night shift, and the health care provider has just given the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
nurse a medication order over the telephone, but the nursedoes not recall the route. What is the best
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
way for the nurse to avoid medication errors?
J J J J J J J J
a. Recopythe order neatly on the order sheet, with the most common route indicated J J J J J J J J J J J J J
b. Consult with the pharmacist for clarification about the most common route J J J J J J J J J J
c. Call the health care provider to clarifythe route of administration
J J J J J J J J J J
d. Withhold the drug until the health care provider visits the patient J J J J J J J J J J
ANS: C J
If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the health care provider to clarify
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
it. Never assume the route of administration.

7. Which constitutes the traditional Five Rights of medication administration?
J J J J J J J J
a. Right drug, right route, right dose, right time, and right patient J J J J J J J J J J
b. Right drug, the right effect, the right route, the right time, and the right patient
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
c. Right patient, right strength, right diagnosis, right drug, and right route
J J J J J J J J J J
d. Right patient, right diagnosis, right drug, right route, and right timeJ J J J J J J J J J
ANS: A J
, The traditional Five Rights of medication administration were considered to be Right drug,
J J J J J J J J J J J J
Right route, Right dose, Right time, and Right patient. Right effect, right strength, and right
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
diagnosis are not part of the traditional Five Rights.

8. What correctlydescribes the nursing process?
J J J J J
a. Diagnosing, planning, assessing, implementing, and finally evaluating J J J J J J
b. Assessing, then diagnosing, implementing, and ending with evaluating J J J J J J J
c. A linear direction that begins with assessing and continues through diagnosing,
J J J J J J J J J J
J planning, and finally implementing J J J
d. An ongoing process that begins with assessing and continues with diagnosing,
J J J J J J J J J J
J planning, implementing, and evaluating J J J
ANS: D J
The nursing process is an ongoing, flexible, adaptable, and adjustable five-step process that
J J J J J J J J J J J J
begins with assessing and continues through diagnosing, planning, implementing, and finally
J J J J J J J J J J J
evaluating, which may then lead back to any of the other phases.

9. When the nurse is considering the timing of a drug dose, which is most important to assess?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
a. Thepatient‘s identification J J
b. Thepatient‘s weight J J
c. Thepatient‘s last meal J J J
d. Any drug or food allergies J J J J
ANS: C J
Thepharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drug need to be assessed with
J J J J J J J J J J J J
regard to any drug–food interactions or compatibility issues. The patient‘s identification, weight,
J J J J J J J J J J J
and drug or food allergies are not affected by the drug‘s timing.

J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J nursing diagnosis? J
a. Anxiety
