Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Choice D as it outlines the systematic evidence-based practice (EBP) process: identifying an issue, analyzing scientific evidence, implementing change, and evaluating the process. This sequence ensures a thorough approach, unlike choice A's theoretical focus or choice B's survey emphasis, which lack clarity on implementation. Choice C skips analysis, jumping to policy. EBP begins with a clinical question, followed by evidence review often via literature searches then applies findings to practice, concluding with evaluation to assess impact. This method, rooted in scientific rigor, enhances patient outcomes by grounding nursing actions in validated research, ensuring changes are practical and effective, and reflecting perioperative nursing's commitment to continuous improvement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Choice C as delegation transfers authority to a competent person, retaining accountability. Choice A misstates authority, choice B cites incorrect rights' (it's five), and choice D shifts supervision wrongly. The nurse ensures the task suits the delegatee's skills, maintaining patient safety while managing workload, a critical perioperative skill.

Correct Answer: A
