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

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?
Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide.
Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.
Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.
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 nurses 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.

The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients health care needs.
The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of humans.

Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
Gather more data about the patients feelings about the child-care arrangements.
Call the patients parents to determine whether adequate child care is being provided.
ANS: C
Since a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an appropriate intervention, the nurses first action should be to obtain more information. The other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention can be chosen.
