The nurse is teaching the parent of an infant client about common pediatric conditions. Which statement by the nurse about otitis media is correct?
- A. Otitis media usually occurs before your child experiences a primary bacterial infection.'
- B. Some causes of otitis media can be prevented by administering a vaccine to your child.'
- C. Ear infections are very contagious and can also spread within your child's body.'
- D. If your infant uses a pacifier, it can prevent the development of otitis media.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Otitis media (OM), middle ear infection, is often bacterial (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae). The correct statement is B: vaccines like PCV13 prevent some causes by targeting pathogens. A is false; OM typically follows infections. C is wrong; OM isn't highly contagious or systemic. D is incorrect; pacifiers increase OM risk. Rationale: Vaccines reduce OM incidence by immunizing against common bacteria, a key preventive strategy per AAP guidelines, unlike the other statements which misrepresent etiology or prevention.
Which of the following provides that nurses must be a member of a national nurse organization?
- A. R.A 877
- B. 1981 Code of ethics approved by the house of delegates
- C. R.A 7164
- D. PNA memorandum no. 22 series of 1922
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The 1981 Philippine Nursing Code of Ethics, approved by delegates, mandates membership in a national organization (PNA) e.g., ensuring ethical accountability. R.A. 877 (old law), R.A. 7164 (1991 law), and PNA memos differ. This reflects nursing's collective responsibility, reinforcing professional unity and standards.
The second step in implementation of evidence-based practice includes systematic review. To complete a systematic review of the literature, what must the nurse do?
- A. Ask a question about a clinical practice
- B. Summarize findings from multiple studies that are related to a particular nursing practice
- C. Recommend best practice
- D. Complete a meta-analysis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In evidence-based practice (EBP), the second step after posing a question is a systematic review, where the nurse summarizes findings from multiple studies on a specific nursing practice like pain relief methods. This involves synthesizing data from diverse sources, assessing consistency, and identifying patterns, not just asking a question (step one) or recommending practice (later step). A meta-analysis, a statistical synthesis, may follow but isn't required here. Systematic review builds a comprehensive evidence base, revealing what works e.g., studies showing non-opioid pain options reduce side effects setting the stage for appraisal and application. It's meticulous, reducing bias by including all relevant research, ensuring nurses ground decisions in a broad, reliable overview rather than isolated findings, critical for effective, patient-centered care.
