Question 9

Type: MCSA

The nursing instructor asks the student to review a client’s arterial blood gas and decide on a course of action based on the results of the lab report and the student’s current assessment of the client. The client is diaphoretic and pale, with rapid respirations. Which level of cognitive thinking would the student demonstrate in answering the instructor’s question?

1. Knowledge

2. Comprehension

3. Application

4. Analysis

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: The student would have to relate the lab value to the client’s current condition, and formulate and put the entire picture together to create a plan of care. Knowledge of blood gas results would not be enough to help the student form a plan of action. Comprehension of a blood gas will not help the student address the current client needs. Application requires only that the student apply knowledge in the current situation.

4. Practice skills until you know what to do when called upon.

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: You are responsible for delivering the care that was practiced in the lab. If you are uncertain regarding some skills, you are responsible for seeking help and practicing those skills.

Reviewing notes alone will not help you perfect a skill; practice is required when manual dexterity and performance is involved (option 2). Option 3 does not indicate comfort with the skill, only that most steps were performed correctly. Before performing on a live client, comfort and expertise should be demonstrated.
