expected outcomes? Answer: Planning phase.
, 3. -: Which step of the nursing process involves gathering subjective and
objective data about the patient? Answer: Assessment.
4. -: A nursing diagnosis differs from a medical diagnosis because it:
Answer: Focuses on the patient's response to health problems rather than
the disease process itself.
5. -: What is the primary purpose of the evaluation phase of the nursing
process? Answer: To determine whether the patient goals and outcomes
have been met and to modify the care plan as needed.

problems? Answer: Planning phase.

Answer: Causative or contributing factors to the patient problem.
15.-: What does the "as evidenced by" component of a nursing diagnosis

18.-: Which phase of the nursing process involves setting SMART goals?
Answer: Planning phase.
19.-: What does the acronym SMART stand for in relation to patient goals?
Answer: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound.

transient microorganisms and reduce resident flora on the hands and
forearms before surgical procedures.
30.-: Which of the following is NOT a mode of transmission for infections?
Answer: Respiratory absorption.
31.-: What is the chain of infection? Answer: Infectious agent, reservoir,
portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host.
32.-: What is the correct technique for disposing of used needles? Answer:
Place directly into a sharps container without recapping.
33.-: Which of the following best describes asepsis? Answer: The absence
of disease-causing microorganisms.
34.-: Which of the following is an example of medical asepsis? Answer:
Handwashing with soap and water.
35.-: Which of the following is an example of surgical asepsis? Answer:
Using sterile gloves during a dressing change.
36.-: What is the primary purpose of establishing a sterile field? Answer: To
create an area free from microorganisms to prevent infection during
invasive procedures.
37.-: When a nurse touches a non-sterile item while wearing sterile gloves,
what should the nurse do? Answer: Consider the gloves contaminated
and replace them.
38.-: What is the correct action if the sterility of an item is -able? Answer:
