The document provides multiple-choice, multiple-response, matching, and completion questions with verified answers, rationales, cognitive levels, NCLEX client need categories, and nursing process steps covering all units and chapters of the textbook. Content is organized across Unit 1 (Using Evidence in Nursing Practice; Communication & Collaboration; Documentation and Informatics; Patient Safety & Quality Improvement; Infection Control; Disaster Preparedness); Unit 2 Patient Assessment Skills (Vital Signs; Health Assessment; Specimen Collection; Diagnostic Procedures); Unit 3 Basic Human Needs (Bathing and Personal Hygiene; Care of the Eye and Ear; Promoting Nutrition; Parenteral Nutrition; Pain Management; Promoting Oxygenation); Unit 4 Activity and Mobility (Safe Patient Handling; Exercise, Mobility & Immobilization Devices); Unit 5 Promoting Elimination (Urinary Elimination; Bowel Elimination; Ostomy Care); Unit 6 Medication Administration (Preparation for Safe Medication Administration; Nonparenteral Medications; Parenteral Medications); Unit 7 Dressings and Wound Care (Wound Care and Irrigation; Pressure Injury Prevention and Care; Dressings, Bandages, and Binders); Unit 8 Complex Nursing Interventions (Intravenous Therapy; Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Care; Emergency Measures for Life Support); and Unit 9 Supportive Nursing Interventions (End-of-Life Care; Home Care Safety). Topics tested include evidence-based practice, PICO questions, research hierarchies, and critiquing evidence; therapeutic communication, SBAR, hand-offs, and documentation methods including charting by exception and POMR; incident reports, medication errors, sentinel events, and root cause analysis; standard precautions, transmission-based precautions, surgical asepsis, and donning/doffing PPE; disaster triage, mass casualty incidents, and bioterrorism agents; vital signs including temperature sites, pulse assessment, blood pressure measurement, respirations, and pulse oximetry; physical assessment techniques including inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation of all body systems; specimen collection including blood, urine, stool, sputum, wound, and throat cultures; diagnostic procedures including contrast studies, angiography, bronchoscopy, lumbar puncture, and paracentesis; bathing, oral care, denture care, shaving, and perineal care; eye and ear care including irrigation, contact lens removal, and hearing aid care; nutrition assessment, therapeutic diets, and enteral feeding; parenteral nutrition; pain management including PCA, epidural analgesia, and nonpharmacological interventions; oxygen therapy, suctioning, chest tubes, and airway management; safe patient handling, transfers, mechanical lifts, and range of motion; urinary and bowel elimination including catheterization, enemas, and ostomy care; safe medication administration including the six rights, medication errors, calculations, and documentation; nonparenteral medications including oral, sublingual, buccal, topical, ophthalmic, otic, inhalers, and suppositories; parenteral medications including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, and intravenous routes, needle selection, and Z-track technique; wound care and irrigation, wound healing phases, dehiscence, and negative-pressure wound therapy; pressure injury staging, Braden Scale, and prevention strategies; dressings, bandages, and binders; intravenous therapy including IV insertion, complications, blood administration, and infusion calculations; preoperative and postoperative care including informed consent, complications, and PACU assessment; emergency measures including CPR, AED use, and advanced life support; end-of-life care including palliative and hospice care, postmortem care, and cultural practices; and home care safety including fall prevention, medication safety, and environmental hazards. This test bank is intended for exam preparation, chapter review, practice, and homework support for nursing students studying nursing interventions and clinical skills.

Chapter 01: Using Evidence in Nursing Practice
Perry et al.: Nursing Interventions & Clinical Skills, 11th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nursing educator is explaining how the best clinical practices are determined. Which
statement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice?
a. It ensures that all patients receive holistic care.
b. It provides a definite reason for providing care in a specific manner.
c. It prevents errors when care is being delivered.
d. It guarantees that care delivered is based on research.
ANS: B
Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care
decisions. It applies to all types of health care professionals. Currently there is no method that
can ensure that all patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a
guarantee exists that care given is based on research.

TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
2. Which question is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-based practice method
in nursing care?
a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in the older adult with
diabetes?
b. How can chronic pain best be described when the patient is nonverbal?
N
c. How long can an IV catheter remain in place in a patient with obesity?
d. What measures can the nurse take to reduce the rising incidence of urinary tract
infections on the older adult care unit?
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problems
or new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a
trend or recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general
information questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of
specific patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.

TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
3. What does the “I” indicate in a “PICO” question?
a. Intervention of interest
b. Incorporation of concepts
c. Implementation by nursing
d. Interest of personnel
ANS: A
The “I” stands for intervention of interest, meaning what the nurse hopes to use in practice
and believes is worthwhile or valuable. This could be a treatment for a specific type of wound
or an approach on how to teach food preparation for a patient with impaired sight.
