Chapter 01: Professional Nursing Practice
Lewis: Medical-Surgical Nursing, 10th Edition
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.”
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 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?
a. “The nursing process is a scientific-based method of diagnosing the patient’s
health care problems.”
b. “The nursing process is a problem-solving tool used to identify and treat patients’
health care needs.”
c. “The nursing process is used primarily to explain nursing interventions to other
health care professionals.”
d. “The nursing process is based on nursing theory that incorporates the
biopsychosocial nature of humans.”
ANS: B
The nursing process is a problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
patients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of the
nursing process is in patient care, not to establish nursing theory or explain nursing
interventions to other health care professionals.

Fijne website voor elke student die hulp nodig heeft bij het leren.
Gemakkelijke website voor samenvattingen te vinden aan een klein prijsje.
Zeer goed in gebruik en betrouwbaar. Zelf zou ik er ook samenvattingen op plaatsen.
Bespaart héél veel opzoekwerk en stress ook zeer overzichtelijk en gebruiksvriendelijk.
Knoowy is voor mij de perfecte service om een centje bij te verdienen! Die samenvattingen moet ik sowieso maken, dus waarom ze niet uploaden en wat bijverdienen?
Knoowy is een top site waar je veel samenvattingen op kan vinden.
Tijdens mijn studie aan de Arteveldehogeschool en KU Leuven heb ik opdrachten gemaakt die ik nu via Knoowy deel met andere studenten.
Het uploaden en verkopen van mijn documenten verloopt altijd super vlot, alles word eigenlijk al door Knoowy geregeld! Leuk dat medestudenten ook iets aan mijn documenten hebben!
