The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patients health care problems.<br>b. The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients health care needs.<br>c. The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of<br>humans.<br>d. The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other health care<br>professionals.<br>ANS: B<br>The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of patients problems.<br>Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process.

Which statement, if made by the nurse, would be the most accurate?<br>a. Inferences from clinical research studies are used as a guide.<br>b. Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.<br>c. Data are evaluated to show that the patient outcomes are consistently met.<br>d. Recommendations are based on research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences.<br>ANS: D<br>Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with clinician<br>expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision<br>making should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes<br>is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with a large<br>number of subjects.<br>DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember (knowledge)<br>TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment<br>Test Bank &#8211; Lewis&#8217;s Medical Surgical Nursing (11th Edition by Harding) 3<br>3 \/ 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge goals will be<br>developed with the patients input. The patient states, How is this different from what the doctor does? Which<br>response would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?<br>a. The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed by your doctor.<br>b. The nurses job is to help the doctor by collecting information and communicating any problems<br>that occur.<br>c. Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the doctor, but nurses are with the patients for a<br>longer time than the doctor.<br>d. In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will assist you to develop an<br>individualized plan to maintain your health.<br>ANS: D<br>This response is consistent with the American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing, which<br>describes the role of nurses in promoting health. The other responses describe some of the dependent and<br>collaborative functions of the nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurses role in the health care<br>system.<br>DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (comprehension)<br>TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure ulcer on the left hip.<br>Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?<br>a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis<br>b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness<br>c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure<br>d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently<br>ANS: C<br>The patients major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of a pressure ulcer.<br>The nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by frequently repositioning the patient.<br>Although left-sided weakness is a problem for the patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The risk for<br>diagnosis is not appropriate for this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The patient does have<br>ineffective tissue perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates more clearly what the health<br>problem is.<br>DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (application)<br>TOP: Nursing Process: Diagnosis MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A patient has been admitted to the hospital for surgery and tells the nurse, I do not feel comfortable leaving<br>my children with my parents.
