For a nurse working in a hospital using a robotics pharmacy system, which describes the advantage for nurses?
 
  1. The nurse will be able to leave out some of the 6 rights since the robot checks the medications.
  2. The nurse should get medications quicker since the robot can work more consistently without breaks.
  3. The nurse can delegate medication administration to the nursing assistant since they have already been
  checked.
  4. The nurse can expect that medication administration will be easier and with less potential for error.

Question 2

The nurse manager has decided to use evidence-based practice (EBP) to solve an issue and has called staff nurses together for input. Which question, as posed by the manager, reflects the first step of the EBP process?
 
  1. What outcomes are we expecting from this work?
  2. Is anyone prepared to evaluate the statistics we will find?
  3. What is the exact clinical issue with which we are dealing?
  4. Where can we look for information?

Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Robots should be able to get medications to the floor more quickly. However, since there is still
great room for error, the registered nurse will still have to complete the six rights of medication
administration to ensure client safety.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Assessing outcomes is the last step of the EBP process.
Rationale 2: Evaluation of the evidence is step 3.
Rationale 3: Identifying the clinical question is the first step in the EBP process.
Rationale 4: Acquiring the evidence to answer the question is step 2.
