Emphasis is placed on the nurse’s role in promoting patient-centered care, cost containment, ethical practice, and clinical judgment while adapting to technological advances, diverse populations, and ongoing healthcare reform. ________________________________________ 1. A nurse explains that evidence-based practice primarily involves which concept? A. Following physician preferences B. Using traditional routines C. Integrating research, clinical expertise, and patient values D. Relying on hospital policies only CORRECT ANSWER - C Rationale: Evidence-based practice combines best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences.

Improve access, quality, and cost-effectiveness C. Limit patient autonomy D. Reduce the nursing workforce CORRECT ANSWER - B Rationale: Healthcare reform focuses on improving access, quality, and affordability.

Provider-focused decision-making C. Coordinated, team-based care D. Emergency-only services CORRECT ANSWER - C Rationale: Patient-centered medical homes rely on coordinated, interdisciplinary care.
