,2. When Caring For Clients Using Evidence-Informed Practice, Which Of The Following Does The
Nurse Use?
A. Clinical Judgement Based On Experience
B. Evidence From A Clinical Research Study
C. The Best Available Evidence To Guide Clinical Expertise
D. Evaluation Of Data Showing That The Client Outcomes Are Met
CORRECT ANSWER>>> C
Evidence-Informed Nursing Practice Is A Continuous Interactive Process Involving The Explicit,
Conscientious, And Judicious Consideration Of The Best Available Evidence To Provide Care. Four
Primary Elements Are: (A) Clinical State, Setting, And Circumstances; (B) Client Preferences And Actions;
(C) Best Research Evidence, And (D) Health Care Resources. Clinical Judgement Based On The Nurse’s
Clinical Experience Is Part Of EIP, But Clinical Decision Making Also Should Incorporate Current Research
And Research-Based Guidelines. Evidence From One Clinical Research Study Does Not Provide An
Adequate Substantiation For Interventions. Evaluation Of Client Outcomes Is Important, But
Interventions Should Be Based On Research From Randomized Control Studies With A Large Number Of
Subjects.

B. As A Problem-Solving Tool To Identify And Treat Clients’ Health Care Needs

D. To Establish Nursing Theory That Incorporates The Biopsychosocial Nature Of Humans
CORRECT ANSWER>>> B
, The Nursing Process Is An Assertive Problem-Solving Approach To The Identification And Treatment Of
Clients’ Problems. Diagnosis Is Only One Phase Of The Nursing Process. The Primary Use Of The Nursing
Process Is In Client Care, Not To Establish Nursing Theory Or Explain Nursing Interventions To Other
Health Care Professionals.

Hour Turning Schedule To Prevent Skin Breakdown. Which Type Of Nursing Function Is Demonstrated
With This Turning Schedule?
A. Dependent
B. Cooperative
C. Independent
D. Collaborative
CORRECT ANSWER>>> D
When Implementing Collaborative Nursing Actions, The Nurse Is Responsible Primarily For Monitoring
For Complications Of Acute Illness Or Providing Care To Prevent Or Treat Complications. Independent
Nursing Actions Are Focused On Health Promotion, Illness Prevention, And Client Advocacy. A
Dependent Action Would Require A Physician Order To Implement. Cooperative Nursing Functions Are
Not Described As One Of The Formal Nursing Functions.

The Nurse Take Next?

B. Have The Client Call The Children To Ensure That They Are Doing Well.
C. Call The Neighbour To Determine Whether Adequate Childcare Is Being Provided.
D. Gather More Data About The Client’s Feelings About The Childcare Arrangements.
CORRECT ANSWER>>> D
Since 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.
