n CHOICE

1. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process when providing patient care. Which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




statement, if made by the student nurse, indicates that teaching was successful?
n n n n n n n n n n n n




a. The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patients health care problems.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




b. The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients health care needs.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




c. The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




humans.
n




d. The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other health care
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




professionals.
n




ANS: B n




The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of patients problems.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not to
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




establish nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice guidelines when caring for
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse, would be the most accurate?
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




a. Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide. n n n n n n n n n




b. Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.
n n n n n n n n n




c. Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.
n n n n n n n n n n n




d. Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. n n n n n n n n n




ANS: D n




Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with clinician
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




making should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with a large
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




number of subjects.

3. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge goals will be
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




developed with the patients input. The patient states, How is this different from what the doctor does? Which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




nresponse would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
n n n n n n n n n




a. The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by your doctor.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




b. The nurses job is to help the doctor by collecting information and communicating any problems that
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




occur.
n




c. Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses are with the patients for a longer
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




time than the doctor.
n n n n




d. In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will assist you to develop an
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




individualized plan to maintain your health.
n n n n n n




ANS: D n




This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing, which describes
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses describe some of the dependent and collaborative
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




functions of the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurses role in the health care system.

4. A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure ulcer on the left hip Which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?
n n n n n




a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis n n n n n n




b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness
n n n n n n n n




c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure n n n n n n n n




d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently n n n n n n n n




ANS: C n




The patients major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of a pressure ulcer. The
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by frequently repositioning the patient. Although
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




left-sided weakness is a problem for the patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The risk for diagnosis is not
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




appropriate for this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The patient does have ineffective tissue
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the health problem is.

5. A patient has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, I do not feel comfortable leaving my
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




children with my parents. Which action should the nurse take next?
