Which statement is true regarding implementation of clinical pathways?
 
  1. Pathways replace physician orders.
  2. Pathways cannot be used for patients with more than one illness or condition.
  3. Using pathways is the best way to assess length of stay (LOS).
  4. Disclaimers may be used with clinical pathways to convey that treatment is standardized.

Question 2

What does the Transition-to-Practice Model tie to safety?
 
  1. Workforce orientation
  2. Preceptor nurse relationship
  3. Use of clinical reasoning
  4. Feedback

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Pathways do not replace physician orders.
2. Pathways can be used for patients with more than one illness or condition by developing co-paths.
3. Using pathways is the best way to assess the LOS, and their use helps to determine the best expected LOS.
4. Disclaimers are a way to indicate that care will be provided to meet the individual needs of the patient, which may require variance from a clinical pathway.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Workforce orientation is important, but in the model it is not the specific element that is associated with safety.
2. Preceptor nurse relationship is important, but in the model it is not the specific element that is associated with safety.
3. We need to use more clinical reasoning to reduce safety concerns and improve care.
4. Feedback is important, but in the model it is not the specific element that is associated with safety.
