MULTIPLE CHOICE #&
1. The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
discharge goals will be developed with the patient‘s input. The patient states, ―How is
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
this different from what the doctor does?‖ Which response would be most
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
appropriate for the nurse to make?
#& #& #& #& #& #&
a. ―The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
prescribed by your doctor.‖
#& #& #& #&
b. ―The nurse‘s job is to help the doctor by collecting
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
information and communicating any problems that occur.‖
#& #& #& #& #& #& #&
c. ―Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
are with the patients for a longer time than the doctor.‖
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
d. ―In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
assist you to develop an individualized plan to maintain your health.‖

This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
nursing, which describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
describe some of the dependent and collaborative functions of the nursing role but
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
do not accurately describe the nurse‘s role in the health care system.

2. The nurse describes to a student nurse how to use evidence-based practice
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
guidelines when caring for patients. Which statement, if made by the nurse, would
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
be the most accurate?
#& #& #& #&
a. ―Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide.‖
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
b. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
c. ―Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.‖
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
d. ―Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
patient preferences.‖
#& #&
ANS: D #&
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
combined with clinician expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurse‘s clinical
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also incorporate
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
studies with a large number of subjects.

3. The nurse teaches a student nurse about how to apply the nursing process when
#& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #& #&
providing patient care. Which statement, if made by the student nurse, indicates

that teaching was successful?
