Question 1 of 5
Which scenario best illustrates the nurse using data validation when making a nursing clinical decision for a patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the nurse is using data validation by cross-referencing the time of the last dressing change with the appearance of old and new drainage. This process ensures that the decision to remove the wound dressing is based on accurate and relevant information, leading to appropriate patient care.
Choice B is incorrect because administering pain medicine earlier than scheduled based solely on patient and family requests does not involve data validation.
Choice C is incorrect as asking for an order of potassium immediately without further assessment or validation is not an example of using data to make a clinical decision.
Choice D is incorrect as elevating a leg cast based solely on the patient's report of decreased mobility does not involve data validation.
