Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3, 4

It is the patient experience and circumstances that influence a nurse's choice of nursing intervention. Length of stay, medical diagnosis, and prescribed treatments are not used to influence a nurse's choice of interventions with evidence-based practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Incorporating patient preferences and values provides individualization and is the benchmark for quality nursing care. Transcribing the plan of care or asking the manager or healthcare provider to review the plan of care does not ensure that the planned care is of the highest quality.
