REVIEW QUESTIONS—CONTENT REVIEW The correct answers are in boldface. 1. (3) is a nursing diagnosis. (1, 2, 4) are medical diagnoses. 2. (1) is a medical diagnosis. (2, 3, 4) are nursing diagnoses... . 3. (1) is correct. The nurse who keeps trying until the prob- lem is solved is exhibiting perseverance. (2, 3, 4) are incorrect. 4. (3, 4, 5, 1, 2) is the correct order. 5. (1) is the best definition. (2, 3, 4) do not define critical thinking but are examples of good thinking. REVIEW QUESTIONS—TEST PREPARATION The correct answers are in boldface. 6. (4) is correct. Evaluation determines whether goals are achieved and interventions effective. (2) is the role of the physician. (1, 3) encompass data collection and imple- mentation, which are earlier steps in the nursing process. 7. (1) is correct. The licensed practical nurse/licensed voca- tional nurse can collect data, which includes taking vital signs; assessment is the first step in the nursing process. (2, 3, 4) are all steps in the nursing process, for which the registered nurse is responsible; the licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse may assist the regis- tered nurse with these. 8. (1, 4, 5) can be observed through use of the five senses. (2, 3) are subjective data that the patient must report. 9. (2) indicates that the patient is concerned about freedom from injury and harm. (1) relates to basic needs such as air, oxygen, and water. (3) relates to feeling loved. (4) is related to having positive self-esteem. 10. (4) is objective, realistic, and measurable with a time frame. (1, 2, 3) are all good outcomes, but they relate to airway clearance, nutrition, and strength, not directly to swallowing. 11. (2) is correct. The three parts of a diagnosis include the problem (from the NANDA International [NANDA-I] list), etiology (“related to”), and symptoms (“as evi- denced by”). (1) does not include symptoms. (3) is a medical diagnosis. (4) is not a NANDA-I diagnosis, and the evidence is not related to dyspnea.

Marie learned that exposure to these toxins can be neurotoxic to children and can trigger asthma attacks in sensitive people. 2. Evidence-based practice is considered the gold standard of health care. 3. Step 1: Ask the burning question. Step 2: Search and collect the most relevant and best evidence available. Step 3: Think critically. Appraise the evidence for validity, relevance to the situation, and applicability. Step 4: Measure the outcomes before and after instituting the change. Step 5: Make it happen. Step 6: Evaluate the practice decision or change. 4.
