Chapter 1: Surgical Technology: The Profession and the
Professional
Question 1. A nurse is reviewing care priorities related to Surgical Technology Profession
Professional. Which action best demonstrates safe, evidence-informed practice?
A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before acting
B. Apply the same routine protocol used for all patients regardless of context
C. Delay clarification until after the intervention is started
D. Rely mainly on patient preference without considering clinical risk
✅ Correct Answer: A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before
acting
Rationale: A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before acting is
correct because safe management of Surgical Technology Profession Professional depends on
linking therapy to individualized assessment, expected benefits, and foreseeable risks. That
approach supports earlier recognition of nonresponse and adverse effects while aligning the plan
with patient-specific variables. The other options are less appropriate because they rely on
routine thinking, delay evaluation, or ignore clinically relevant risk factors.

Question 2. Which assessment finding should the nurse identify as most clinically significant
when caring for a patient with concerns related to Surgical Technology Profession Professional?
A. Prioritize the most time-sensitive safety risk and intervene promptly
