1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


respirations are eupneic and his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


be:
b2




a. Objective.

b. Reflective.

c. Subjective.

d. Introspective.

ANS: A b2




Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


auscultating during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him or
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


herself during history taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


nurses next action should be to:
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




a. Immediately notify the patients physician. b2 b2 b2 b2




b. Document the sound exactly as it was heard. b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




c. Validate the data by asking a coworker to listen to the breath sounds.

When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patients breath sounds, the nurse validates the
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


data to ensure accuracy. If the nurse has less experience in an area, then he or she asks an
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


expert to listen.

5. The nurse is conducting a class for new graduate nurses. During the teaching session, the nurse
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


should keep in mind that novice nurses, without a background of skills and experience from
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


which to draw, are more likely to make their decisions using:
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




a. Intuition.

7. The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based practice (EBP). Which statement best
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


reflects EBP?
b2 b2




a. EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




b. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




c. EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the clinicians experience.
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




d. The patients own preferences are not important with
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2




EBP. ANS: C
b2 b2 b2




EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


the clinicians experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions about care
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


and treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and
b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2


questioning tradition is important when no compelling and supportive research evidence exists.
