MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. When caring for patients using evidence-informed practice, which of the following does
thecaregiver 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 patient outcomes are met
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) patient preferences and
actions; (c) best research evidence; and (d) health care resources. Clinical judgement based on the
caregiver’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 patient outcomes is
important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with
a large number of subjects.
2. Which of the folowing best N
e xp lRa in sIt heGn u B ’ prM
r se. sC imary use of the nursing process when
providing care to patients? USNT O
a. To explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals
b. As a problem-solving tool to identify and treat patients’ health care needs
c. As a scientific-based process of diagnosing the patient’s health care problems
d. To establish nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of humans
ANSWER: B
The nursing process is an assertive problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment
of patients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. 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.
3. The caregiver is caring for a critically ill patient in the intensive care unit and plans an every 2-
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
ANSWER: D
