Answer to Question 1

B, D, E, F
Perioperative nursing is a fast-paced, changing, and challenging field and is based on the nurse's understanding of several important principles, including high-quality, patient safetyfocused care; multidisciplinary teamwork; effective therapeutic communication and collaboration with the patient, the patient's family, and the surgical team; effective and efficient assessment and intervention in all phases of surgery; advocacy for the patient and the patient's family; and understanding of cost containment. Purchasing the correct equipment is important in any specialty of nursing. Perioperative nursing cares not only for the right types of patients, but for all patients with surgical needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
The purpose of evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of nursing care. The other options are not true statements. During evaluation, you do not simply determine whether nursing interventions were completed. The evaluation process is not used to determine when to downsize staffing or how to eliminate paperwork and planning.
