Perioperative Care Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which order best describes the process used to implement evidence-based professional nursing?
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.

Question 3 of 5
As the pediatric cardiac team prepared to cannulate for a coarctation repair, their neonate patient presented with a sudden dysrhythmia, ectopy, and failure to respond to digitalis. Point of-care serum electrolyte measurements revealed low potassium, sodium, and magnesium levels. On anesthesia induction, only 35 minutes earlier, these values were at normal levels, and the patient status was secure. The electrolyte levels were treated to normal and the patient was cannulated and placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. As the procedure continued the team pondered the cause to prevent a recurrence. What possible event could have caused, or contributed to, this loss of electrolytes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
