(Select all that apply.) 1 Facilitates faster postsurgical recovery 2 Reduces hospital-oriented expenses 3 Allows for more one-on-one attention by staff 4 Cuts preparation time for surgical procedures 5 Minimizes risk for acquiring a nosocomial infection 6 The anesthetic drugs used result in faster wake-up time ANS: 1, 2, 5, 6 There are distinct benefits for the client who has ambulatory surgery. Anesthetic drugs that metabolize rapidly with few after-effects allow shorter operative times and faster recovery time. Ambulatory surgery also offers cost savings by eliminating the need for hospital stays. This reduces the possibility of acquiring health care associated infections, which occur when normal skin flora changes from hospitalization and clients become colonized with bacteria found in the hospital setting. Preparation time and staff attention are not necessarily affected. Chapter 1. Nursing Today MULTIPLE CHOICE NCLEX test plan designation: Psychosocial Integrity/Sensory/Perceptual Alterations Systems 1.Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories. Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on: 1 Psychological needs 2 A maximal level of wellness 3 Health maintenance and restoration 4 Interpersonal interactions with the client ANS: 3 Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease. Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment. Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of wellness. Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon interpersonal interactions.
