Exam 1: NR226/ NR 226 Fundamentals Patient Ca re Exam| 100% Correct Questions and Verified Answers (2023/ 2024 Update) - Cham berlain Q: The nurse initiates a visit from a member of the clergy for a patient. How is the nurse functioning when initiating this visit? 1. Interdependently 2. Independently 3. Dependently 4. Collegially Answer: 2 (The nurse is initiating the referral to the member of the clergy and is therefore working independently. Nurses are legally permitted to diagnose and treat human responses to actual or potential health problems.) 1. The nurse does not n eed a practitioner's order to make a referral to a member of the clergy. An interdependent intervention requires a practitioner's order associated with a parameter. 3. This action is within the scope of nursing practice. The nurse does not need a practiti oner's order to make a referral to a member of the clergy. 4. The nurse can make a referral to a mem - ber of the clergy without collaborating with another professional health -care team member. Q: A patient is asked to participate in a medical research s tudy. The nurse describes to the patient and family members how the patient is protected by the: 1. Code of Ethics 2. Informed Consent 3. Nurse Practice Act 4. Constitution of the United States Answer: 2 (Informed consent is an agree ment by a client to accept a course of treatment or a procedure after receiving complete information necessary to make a knowledgeable decision.) 1. A code of ethics is the official statement of a group's ideals and values. It includes broad statements tha t provide a basis for professional actions. 3. Nurse Practice Acts define the scope of nursing practice; they are unrelated to informed consent. 4. The Constitution of the United States addresses broad individual rights and responsibilities. The rights re lated to nursing practice and patients include therights of privacy, freedom of speech, and due process. Q: The nurse is implementing an ordered bowel preparation for a patient who is scheduled for a colonoscopy. Which is the most serious consequence th at is prevented by an effective bowel preparation? 1. Discomfort 2. Misdiagnosis 3. Wasted expense 4. Psychological stress Answer: 2 (Fecal material in the intestines can interfere with the visualization, collection, and analysis of data obtained through a colonoscopy, resulting in diagnostic errors.) 1. Although this may occur, it is not the most serious outcome of a n inappropriate preparation for a colonoscopy. 3. A test may have to be cancelled or per - formed a second time if the patient has an ineffective bowel preparation. Although this is a serious consequence, it is not life threatening. 4. Although this is a se rious consequence, it is not life threatening. Q: The practitioner orders OOB for a patient. How is the nurse functioning when moving this patient out of bed to a chair? 1. Dependently 2. Independently 3. Collaboratively 4. Interdependently Answer: 1 (Determining the extent of activity desirable for a patient is within the practitioner's, not a nurse's, scope of practice. Following activity orders is a dependent function of the nurse.) 2. The responsibility to determine a patient 's activity level is not within the legal scope of nursing practice. 3. A practitioner works independently when determining a patient's desired activity level. 4. The nurse is following the practitioner's order to get the patient OOB. There are no restric tions or parameters in relation to the order. However, the nurse must use judgment before, during, and after a transfer if a patient's condition changes. Q: A Registered Nurse witnesses an accident and assists the victim who has a life -threatening injury. What should the nurse do to meet the most important standard when acting as a Good Samaritan at the scene of an accident? 1. Seek consent from the injur ed party before rendering assistance 2. Implement every critical -care intervention necessary to sustain life 3. Stay at the scene until another qualified person takes over responsibility 4. Insist on helping because a nurse is the best -qualified person to provide care Answer: 3. When a nurse renders emergency care, the nurse has an ethical responsibility not to abandon the injured person. The nurse should not leave the scene until the injured person leaves or another qualified person assum es responsibility. 1. Depending on the injured person's physi - cal and emotional status, the person may or may not be able to consent to care. 2. When a nurse helps in an emergency, the nurse is required to render care that is consistent with care that an y reasonably prudent nurse would provide under simi - lar circumstances. The nurse should not attempt interventions that are beyond the scope of nursing practice. 4. A nurse should offer assistance, not insist on assisting, at the scene of an emergency. Q: A faculty member of a nursing program is conducting an informational session for potential nursing students. The faculty member includes the information that at the completion of the program licensure to practice is: 1. A responsibility of the Americ an Nurses Association 2.
