Question 2 of 5
The Perioperative Patient Focused Model presents key components of nursing influence that guide patient care. Select the statement that best describes the dynamic relationship within the model.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is correct because the Perioperative Patient Focused Model emphasizes the continuous interaction between the patient's experience and the nursing presence, as noted on page 3. This model highlights domains like nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes, all orbiting around the patient as the focal point. Unlike choice B, which lists static components, the model's essence lies in its dynamic interplay. Choice C overstates the nurse's role as the core, when it's the patient who is central. Choice D mentions the nursing process but misses the broader interaction focus. The patient's needs drive nursing actions, creating a fluid relationship where care adapts in real-time, reflecting perioperative nursing's responsive nature. This continuous engagement ensures safety and tailored interventions, aligning with the model's intent to prioritize patient-centered care amidst the health system's complexities.
Question 3 of 5
A 36-year-old woman was preoperatively admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative cholangiogram. She was then interviewed by her perioperative nurse in the preoperative intake lounge. The patient's weight on admission was 245 lb. After the assessment, the nurse returned to the operating room (OR) and modified the standard plan of care by instituting risk reduction strategies that were derived from information from the preoperative assessment. A good example of this action would best be described by:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A as replacing the bed addresses the patient's 245-lb weight, reducing positioning risks. Aprons (choice B) relate to radiation, not weight. Writing data (choice C) informs but doesn't act. Antibiotics (choice D) prevent infection, not physical risk. Planning adapts equipment to patient needs, ensuring safety and comfort during surgery, a key perioperative nursing responsibility.
