Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Trial and error is solving problems by utilizing a number of approaches. Trial-and-error methods can be dangerous in nursing because the client might suffer harm if an approach is inappropriate. In this case, the client may not suffer harm, but there will be no way to know if one product used is effective since the nurse is changing them on a daily basis. Intuition is the learning of things without conscious use of reasoningalso known as the sixth sense, hunch, or instinct. Scientific method and research process are both formalized, systematic, and logical approaches to solving problems.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Clarity provides examplesand that is not the process described in the stem.
Rationale 2: Accuracy is asking if something is true and that is not the process described in the stem.
Rationale 3: Logicalness would ask if the report follows from the evidence. In this case, it does not. However, the nurse is still questioning which shows she is engaged in critically thinking through the situation.
Rationale 4: Significance is prioritizing the facts and that is not the process described in the stem.
