MULTIPLE CHOICE n1
1. The RN is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a client who has been newly
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct format for a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
nursing diagnosis?
n1 n1
a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
c. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
statements such as ―I‘m upset about having to test my blood sugars.‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
d. Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
―I‘m upset about having to test my blood sugars.‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
CORRECT ANS: D n1 n1
Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. ―Anxiety‖ is missing the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
―related to‖ and ―as evidenced by‖ portions of defining characteristics. ―Anxiety related to
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
new drug therapy‖ is missing the ―as evidenced by‖ portion of defining characteristics. The
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
statement beginning ―Anxiety related to anxious feelings‖ is incorrect because the ―related
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
to‖ section is simply a restatement of the problem ―anxiety,‖ not a separate factor related to
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the response.

2. The client is to receive oral guaifenesin (Mucinex) twice a day. Today, the RN was busy and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
gave the medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was due. What type of problem does
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
this represent?
n1 n1
a. ―Right time‖ n1
b. ―Right dose‖ n1
c. ―Right route‖ n1
d. ―Right medication‖ n1
CORRECT ANS: A n1 n1
―Right time‖ is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes after the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
scheduled dose was due. ―Dose‖ is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
medication administration is scheduled. ―Route‖ is incorrect because the route is not affected.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
―Medication‖ is incorrect because the medication ordered will not change.

3. The RN has been monitoring the client‘s progress on a new drug regimen since the first
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
dose and documenting the client‘s therapeutic response to the medication. Which phase of the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
nursing process do these actions illustrate?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. Nursing diagnosis n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
b. Planning
c. Implementation

CORRECT ANS: D n1 n1
Monitoring the client‘s progress, including the client‘s response to the medication, is part of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation, and nursing diagnosis are not illustrated by
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

4. The RN is assigned to a client who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this client?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. The client will follow instructions.
n1 n1 n1 n1
b. The client will not experience complications.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
c. The client will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
d. The client will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
CORRECT ANS: D n1 n1
―Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique‖ is a specific and measurable outcome
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
criterion. ―Following instructions‖ and ―not experiencing complications‖ are not specific
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
criteria.
n1
―Adhering to new regimen‖ would be difficult to measure.

n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
who is newly diagnosed with hypertension?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. Providing education on keeping a journal of blood pressure readings
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the client‘s input
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
c. Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications used at home
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
d. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding deficient knowledge related to n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the new treatment regimen
n1 n1 n1 n1
CORRECT ANS: A n1 n1
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
outcomes reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses reflects analysis of data as part of planning.
