MULTIPLE CHOICE:
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and
discharge goals will be developed with the patient„s input. The patient asks, “How is this
different from what the physician does?” Which response would the nurse provide?
a. “The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by
your physician.”
b. “In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan to
maintain your health.”
c. “The nurse„s job is to collect information and communicate any problems that occur to
the physician.”
d. “Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the physician, but nurses are with the
patients for a longer time than the physician.”
ANS: B
The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing describes the role of nurses in
promoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of the
nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse„s unique role in the health care system.

2. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes the use of evidence-based practice
(EBP)?
a. “Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.”
b. “Data are analyzed later to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.”
,c. “Research from all published articles are used as a guide for planning patient care.”
d. “Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences.”
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with
clinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Clinical judgment based on the
nurse„s clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also incorporate
current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is important, but
data analysis is not required to use EBP. All published articles do not provide research evidence;
interventions should be based on credible research, preferably randomized controlled studies
with a large number of subjects.

3. Which statement by the nurse provides a clear explanation of the nursing process?
a. “The nursing process is a research method of diagnosing the patient„s health care
problems.”
b. “The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other health
care professionals.”
c. “The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and manage the
patients„ health care needs.”
d. “The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial
nature of humans.”
ANS: C
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
patients„ problems. Nursing process does not require research methods for diagnosis. The
primary use of the nursing process is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory or explain
nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

4. A patient admitted to the hospital for surgery tells the nurse, “I do not feel comfortable
leaving my children with my parents.” Which action would the nurse take next?
a. Reassure the patient that these feelings are common for parents.
b. Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
c. Gather information on the patient„s concerns about the child care arrangements.
d. Call the patient„s parents to determine whether adequate child care is being provided.
ANS: C
Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an
appropriate intervention, the nurse„s first action should be to obtain more information. The other
actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention can be
chosen.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis)
TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Psychosocial Integrity
5. A patient with a bacterial infection is hypovolemic due to a fever and excessive
diaphoresis. Which expected outcome would the nurse select for this patient?
a. Patient has a balanced intake and output.
b. Patient„s bedding is kept clean and free of moisture.
c. Patient understands the need for increased fluid intake.
d. Patient„s skin remains cool and dry throughout hospitalization.
ANS: A
Balanced intake and output gives measurable data showing resolution of the problem of deficient
fluid volume. The other statements would not indicate that the problem of hypovolemia was
resolved.
