1. A nurse respects a patient’s decision to refuse a life-saving blood transfusion due to
religious beliefs. Which ethical principle is the nurse primarily upholding?
A. Autonomy
B. Justice
,C. Beneficence
D. Nonmaleficence
Correct Answer: A
Expert Explanation: Autonomy refers to the patient’s right to make their own decisions
regarding their healthcare. In this scenario, the nurse respects the patient’s self-
determination even though it conflicts with medical recommendations. This principle is
fundamental to patient-centered care and legal rights in nursing.
2. The nurse is caring for a group of patients. Which task is most appropriate for the nurse to
delegate to an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP)?
A. Assisting a stable patient with a bedside commode
B. Assessing the lung sounds of a patient with pneumonia
C. Teaching a diabetic patient how to administer insulin
D. Evaluating the effectiveness of a patient’s pain medication
Correct Answer: A
Expert Explanation: Assisting a stable patient with activities of daily living, such as using a
commode, falls within the scope of practice for a UAP. Nurses cannot delegate tasks that
require clinical judgment, such as assessment, teaching, or evaluation. The RN remains
accountable for the outcome of the delegated task.
, 3. A nurse tells a patient that if they do not stay in bed, they will be tied down with restraints.
This is an example of which legal tort?
A. Assault
B. Battery
C. Negligence
D. Libel
Correct Answer: A
Expert Explanation: Assault is a threat or an attempt to make bodily contact with another
person without their consent, creating a fear of harm. Since the nurse is threatening the
patient with restraints, it constitutes assault. Battery would require actual physical contact
or the application of the restraints without justification.
4. Which of the following is a key component of the ‘Situation’ part of an SBAR
communication between a nurse and a physician?
A. The patient’s medical history and allergies
B. The nurse’s recommendation for a change in treatment
C. The latest set of vital signs and laboratory results
D. A brief statement of why the nurse is calling about the patient
