NSG 432 EXAM 1

Maternity nursing care that is based on knowledge gained through research and clinical trials is

• derived from the Nursing Intervention Classification.
• known as evidence-based practice.
• at odds with the Cochrane School of traditional nursing.
• an outgrowth of telemedicine. - CORRECT ANSWER -known

as evidence-based practice

Rationale; Evidence-based practice is based on knowledge gained from research and clinical trials. The Nursing Intervention Classification is a method of standardizing language and categorizing care. Dr. Cochrane systematically reviewed research trials and is part of the evidence-based practice movement. Telemedicine uses communication technologies to support health care. 1 / 4

The level of practice a reasonably prudent nurse provides is called

• the standard of care.
• risk management.
• a sentinel event.
• failure to rescue. - CORRECT ANSWER -the standard of care.

Rationale; Guidelines for standards of care are published by various professional nursing organizations. Risk management identifies risks and establishes preventive practices, but it does not define the standard of care. Sentinel events are unexpected negative occurrences. They do not establish the standard of care.Failure to rescue is an evaluative process for nursing, but it does not define the standard of care.

While obtaining a detailed history from a woman who has recently emigrated from Somalia, the nurse realizes that the patient has undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). The nurse's best response to this patient is

• ―This is a very abnormal practice and rarely seen in the

United States.‖

• ―Do you know who performed this so that it can be reported

to the authorities?‖ 2 / 4

• ―We will be able to restore your circumcision fully after

delivery.‖

• ―The extent of your circumcision will affect the potential for

complications.‖ - CORRECT ANSWER -―The extent of your circumcision will affect the potential for complications.‖

Rationale; ―The extent of your circumcision will affect the potential for complications‖ is the most appropriate response.The patient may experience pain, bleeding, scarring, or infection and may require surgery before childbirth. With the growing number of immigrants from countries where FGM is practiced, nurses will increasingly encounter women who have undergone the procedure. Although this practice is not prevalent in the United States, it is very common in many African and Middle Eastern countries for religious reasons. Responding with, ―This is a very abnormal practice and rarely seen in the United States‖ is culturally insensitive. The infibulation may have occurred during infancy or childhood. The patient will have little to no recollection of the event. She would have considered this to be a normal milestone during her growth and development. The International Council of Nurses has spoken out against this procedure as harmful to a woman's health.

To ensure patient safety, the practicing nurse must have knowledge of the current Joint Commission's ―Do Not Use‖ list of abbreviations. Which of the following is acceptable for use? 3 / 4

• | P a g e

• q.o.d. or Q.O.D.
• MSO4 or MgSO4
• International Unit
• Lack of a leading zero - CORRECT ANSWER -International

Unit

Rationale; The abbreviations ―i.u.‖ and ―I.U.‖ are no longer acceptable because they could be misread as ―I.V.‖ or the number ―10.‖ The abbreviation ―q.o.d. or Q.O.D.‖ should be written out as ―every other day.‖ The period after the ―Q‖ could be mistaken for an ―I‖; the ―o‖ could also be mistaken for an ―i.‖ With MSO4 or MgSO4, it is too easy to confuse one medication for another. These medications are used for very different purposes and could put a patient at risk for an adverse outcome. They should be written as morphine sulfate and magnesium sulfate.The decimal point should never be missed before a number to avoid confusion (i.e., 0.4 rather than .4).

Healthy People 2030 has established national health priorities that focus on a number of maternal-child health indicators.Nurses are assuming greater roles in assessing family health and providing care across the perinatal continuum. Therefore, it is important for the nurse to be aware that significant progress has been made in
