Study Notes
Chapter 1: Professional Nursing Practice
-
Multiple Choice Question 1: The nurse's role is to assist the patient in developing an individualized plan for maintaining health, a response consistent with the ANA's definition of nursing.
-
Multiple Choice Question 2: Evidence-based practice utilizes research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences as guidelines for care.
-
Multiple Choice Question 3: The nursing process is a scientific method for diagnosing and treating patients' health care problems, not primarily for explaining interventions to other healthcare professionals.
-
Multiple Choice Question 4: The nurse should gather further information about the patient's feelings regarding child care arrangements before taking any other action.
-
Multiple Choice Question 5: Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure is the best diagnosis for a patient with a pressure ulcer arising from left-sided paralysis.
-
Multiple Choice Question 6: A balanced intake and output is an appropriate outcome when a patient has a diagnosis of deficient fluid volume related to diaphoresis.
-
Multiple Choice Question 7: Evaluation in the nursing process determines if interventions met desired patient outcomes effectively.
-
Multiple Choice Question 8: Assessment in the nursing process gathers data to diagnose patient problems.
-
Multiple Choice Question 9: A correct nursing diagnosis statement includes a NANDA nursing diagnosis coupled with a defining characteristic as the etiology. The phrase "altered tissue perfusion related to heart failure" is a correct format for diagnoses.
-
Multiple Choice Question 10: A nursing diagnosis should include the problem, its etiology, and symptoms—interventions and outcomes are not included in the nursing diagnosis statement.
-
Multiple Choice Question 11: Delegating tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is appropriate for tasks including accurately measuring vital signs. Delegating tasks such as patient teaching or assessment necessitates RN guidance.
-
Multiple Choice Question 12: The nurse cannot delegate assessments, plan creation, or patient teaching to LPNs/LVNs—These are professional nursing tasks.
-
Multiple Choice Question 13: LPNs/LVNs are qualified to document patient condition or perform tests such as blood glucose checks with appropriate guidance.
-
Multiple Choice Question 14: The case manager coordinates the patient's care across different settings, but does not directly provide care in the hospital or home.
-
Multiple Choice Question 15: A transitional care setting is the appropriate facility for a patient needing continued rehabilitation before discharge to home or long-term care.
-
Multiple Choice Question 16: Tasks such as monitoring blood glucose, teaching about diet, and providing assessments are not appropriate tasks for an aide to perform; they are in the domain of registered nurses and require proper training and education.
-
Multiple Choice Question 17: Quality care is primarily based on clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction, and not on reimbursement for costs of care or electronic documentation.
-
Multiple Choice Question 18: Informatics and technology competencies are demonstrated when nurses use computerized systems for patient care documentation and communication.
-
Multiple Choice Question 19: The key considerations when delegating to an LPN/LVN include institutional policies, patient stability, the state nurse practice act, and the experience of the LPN/LVN.
Other
- SBAR: The situation-background-assessment-recommendation format follows a specific sequence for communicating patient information: the situation, background, assessment, and recommendation.
