Question 1 of 5
The chief nursing officer at a local hospital seeking Magnet® status creates staff development classes concerning translation of research into practice (TRIP). What best describes TRIP?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is serving on a continuous quality improvement (CQI) committee that has been assigned to develop a program to reduce the number of medication administration errors following a sentinel event at the facility. Which of the following strategies should the committee plan to initiate first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing error events identifies root causes, guiding targeted interventions. Competency exams, quality programs, or inservices should follow to address specific issues found in the review.
Question 3 of 5
A family is keeping vigil at a critically ill patient's bedside. The nurse speaks with the family members and asks if they would benefit from a chaplain visit or resources to aid with grief and coping. What role is the nurse assuming through this action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: By proactively offering support, the nurse demonstrates leadership in holistic care. Followers take direction, managers focus on administration, and laissez-faire involves minimal intervention, none of which fit.
Question 4 of 5
Mary is a newly-hired, new graduate nurse. Mary adapts her practice to imitate her co-workers on the unit. She is demonstrating:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acculturation involves adopting the cultural traits of another group, as Mary does by imitating co-workers. Cultural awareness and sensitivity involve understanding and respecting differences, while marginality implies not belonging to any group.
Question 5 of 5
A floor manager discovers widespread dissatisfaction and a high turnover rate amongst LPN and certified nursing assistants (CNA). Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to enhanced job satisfaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Establishing a rewards program acknowledges and values the hard work of the staff, boosting morale and job satisfaction, which can lead to decreased turnover rates. Allowing tasks beyond scope can lead to legal and ethical issues, hiring additional staff addresses workload but not motivation, and ergonomic chairs improve conditions but don't directly address recognition.
