MULTIPLE CHOICE cd
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
goals will be developed with the patient‘s input. The patient states, ―How is this different
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
from what the doctor does?‖ Which response would be most appropriate for the nurse to
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
make?
cd
a. ―The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
by your doctor.‖
cd cd cd
b. ―The nurse‘s job is to help the doctor by collecting information and
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
communicating any problems that occur.‖
cd cd cd cd cd
c. ―Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses are with
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
the patients for a longer time than the doctor.‖
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
d. ―In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will assist you
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
to develop an individualized plan to maintain your health.‖
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
ANS: c d D
This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
nursing, which describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses describe
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
some of the dependent and collaborative functions of the nursing role but do not accurately
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
describe the nurse‘s role in the health care system.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice guidelines
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
when caring for patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse, would be the most
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
accurate?
cd
a. ―Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide.‖ cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
b. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
c. ―Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.‖
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
preferences.‖
cd
ANS: c d D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
clinician expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurse‘s clinical experience is part of EBP,
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
but clinical decision making should also incorporate current research and research-based
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
,cd research from randomized control studies with a large number of subjects.

3. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process when
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
providing patient care. Which statement, if made by the student nurse, indicates that
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
teaching was successful?
cd cd cd
a. ―The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patient‘s
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
health care problems.‖
cd cd cd
b. ―The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients‘
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
health care needs.‖ cd cd
c. ―The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
other health care professionals.‖
cd cd cd cd
d. ―The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
biopsychosocial nature of humans.‖
cd cd cd cd
ANS: B cd
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
patients‘ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
the nursing process is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory or explain nursing
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
interventions to other health care professionals.

4. A patient has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, ―I do not feel
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
comfortable leaving my children with my parents.‖ Which action should the nurse take
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
next?
cd
a. Reassure the patient that these feelings are common for parents. cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
b. Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
c. Gather more data about the patient‘s feelings about the child-care arrangements.
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
d. Call the patient‘s parents to determine whether adequate child care is being
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
provided. cd
ANS: C cd
Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
appropriate intervention, the nurse‘s first action should be to obtain more information. The
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
can be chosen.

5. A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
ulcer on the left hip. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis cd cd cd cd cd cd
b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
ANS: C cd
The patient‘s major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
of a pressure ulcer. The nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
frequently repositioning the patient. Although left-sided weakness is a problem for the
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The ―risk for‖ diagnosis is not appropriate for
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The patient does have ineffective
cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd
tissue perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the
