Q: The nurse initiates a visit from a member of the clergy for a patient. How is the nurse
functioning when initiating this visit?

1. Interdependently
2. Independently
3. Dependently
4. Collegially
   Answer:
   2 (The nurse is initiating the referral to the member of the clergy and is therefore working
   independently. Nurses are legally permitted to diagnose and treat human responses to actual or
   potential health problems.)
5. The nurse does not need a practitioner’s order to make a referral to a member of the clergy. An
   interdependent intervention requires a practitioner’s order associated with a parameter.
6. This action is within the scope of nursing practice. The nurse does not need a practitioner’s
   order to make a referral to a member of the clergy.
7. The nurse can make a referral to a mem- ber of the clergy without collaborating with another
   professional health-care team member.
   Q: A patient is asked to participate in a medical research study. The nurse describes to the
   patient and family members how the patient is protected by the:
8. Code of Ethics
9. Informed Consent
10. Nurse Practice Act
11. Constitution of the United States
    Answer:
    2 (Informed consent is an agreement by a client to accept a course of treatment or a procedure
    after receiving complete information necessary to make a knowledgeable decision.)
12. A code of ethics is the official statement of a group’s ideals and values. It includes broad
    statements that provide a basis for professional actions.
13. Nurse Practice Acts define the scope of nursing practice; they are unrelated to informed
    consent.
14. The Constitution of the United States addresses broad individual rights and responsibilities.
    The rights related to nursing practice and patients include therights of privacy, freedom of
    speech, and due process.
    Q: The nurse is implementing an ordered bowel preparation for a patient who is scheduled for a
    colonoscopy. Which is the most serious consequence that is prevented by an effective bowel
    preparation?
15. Discomfort
16. Misdiagnosis
17. Wasted expense
18. Psychological stress
    Answer:
    2 (Fecal material in the intestines can interfere with the visualization, collection, and analysis of
    data obtained through a colonoscopy, resulting in diagnostic errors.)
19. Although this may occur, it is not the most serious outcome of an inappropriate preparation for
    a colonoscopy.
20. A test may have to be cancelled or per- formed a second time if the patient has an ineffective
    bowel preparation. Although this is a serious consequence, it is not life threatening.
21. Although this is a serious consequence, it is not life threatening.
    Q: The practitioner orders OOB for a patient. How is the nurse functioning when moving this
    patient out of bed to a chair?
22. Dependently
23. Independently
24. Collaboratively
25. Interdependently
    Answer:
    1 (Determining the extent of activity desirable for a patient is within the practitioner’s, not a
    nurse’s, scope of practice. Following activity orders is a dependent function of the nurse.)
26. The responsibility to determine a patient’s activity level is not within the legal scope of nursing
    practice.
27. A practitioner works independently when determining a patient’s desired activity level.
28. The nurse is following the practitioner’s order to get the patient OOB. There are no restrictions
    or parameters in relation to the order. However, the nurse must use judgment before, during, and
    after a transfer if a patient’s condition changes.
    Q: A Registered Nurse witnesses an accident and assists the victim who has a life-threatening
    injury. What should the nurse do to meet the most important standard when acting as a Good
    Samaritan at the scene of an accident?
29. Seek consent from the injured party before rendering assistance
30. Implement every critical-care intervention necessary to sustain life
31. Stay at the scene until another qualified person takes over responsibility
32. Insist on helping because a nurse is the best-qualified person to provide care
    Answer:
33. When a nurse renders emergency care, the nurse has an ethical responsibility not to abandon
    the injured person. The nurse should not leave the scene until the injured person leaves or
    another qualified person assumes responsibility.
34. Depending on the injured person’s physi- cal and emotional status, the person may or may not
    be able to consent to care.
35. When a nurse helps in an emergency, the nurse is required to render care that is consistent
    with care that any reasonably prudent nurse would provide under simi- lar circumstances. The
    nurse should not attempt interventions that are beyond the scope of nursing practice.
36. A nurse should offer assistance, not insist on assisting, at the scene of an emergency.

37. A responsibility of the American Nurses Association
38. Granted on graduation from a nursing program
39. Approved by the National League for Nursing
40. Required by state law
