ATI Nurs 211 Med Surg Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A professional nurse is searching for information on confidentiality in nursing in a database. The nurse enters two key words (confidentiality, nursing) into the search interface of the database. The nurse retrieves too many records and does not have much time to review all the records. Which of the following Boolean Operators would be appropriate for the nurse to use with the key words to narrow the search?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The 'AND' operator narrows the search by retrieving only records that contain both keywords, 'confidentiality' and 'nursing,' thus reducing the number of results. 'Maybe' is not a valid Boolean operator. 'NOT' excludes records containing a specific term, which could unintentionally exclude relevant records. 'OR' broadens the search by retrieving records that contain either keyword, leading to more results.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement best describes cyberchondria?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cyberchondria is a term used to describe heightened anxiety that arises from compulsively searching for health-related information online, often leading to unnecessary worry about potential health conditions. It is not classified as a personality disorder. While individuals with cyberchondria do search for health information online, the defining feature is the anxiety caused by these searches. It is not typical of most consumers; it is specific to individuals with excessive and anxiety-driven search behaviors.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement best describes cyberchondria?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cyberchondria is a term used to describe heightened anxiety that arises from compulsively searching for health-related information online, often leading to unnecessary worry about potential health conditions. It is not classified as a personality disorder. It is not typical of most consumers; it is specific to individuals with excessive and anxiety-driven search behaviors. The correct answer is the statement that accurately defines cyberchondria.
Question 4 of 5
Which one of the following databases provides access to systematic reviews of best research evidence and is considered the gold standard for meta-analysis of medical research?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Cochrane Library is renowned for providing high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses, considered the gold standard in evidence-based medical research. PubMed is a comprehensive database for biomedical literature but is not specifically focused on systematic reviews. Psych Info is a database for psychology-related research, not systematic reviews of medical evidence. The World Health Organization provides health-related resources but is not a systematic review database.
Question 5 of 5
A professional nurse is searching for information on vaccination among children in a nursing database. The nurse enters two key words (vaccines, children) into the search interface of the database. However, the nurse is unable to retrieve many records during the search. Which of the following Boolean Operators would be appropriate for the nurse to use with the key words to expand the search?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The 'OR' operator expands the search by retrieving records that contain either keyword ('vaccines' or 'children'), increasing the number of results. 'Not' would exclude records containing a specific term, further reducing the results. 'And' would narrow the search by retrieving only records that contain both keywords, which may not help in this situation. 'Don't know' is not a Boolean operator.
