Practice Question
A team of nurse case managers is implementing a community-based palliative care program. They are meeting today to discuss their progress.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Nurse 3
Rationale:
Nurse 3 — Evaluation of Outcomes
💎 The nurse’s action of examining the number of emergency department visits after program implementation reflects the evaluation phase of the nursing process.
💎 This step determines whether the interventions and services reduced acute care utilization, which is a measurable indicator of program effectiveness.
💎 In community-based palliative care, decreased ER visits often signify better symptom control and improved quality of life.
💎 Evaluation involves comparing actual outcomes with expected goals, identifying success or need for modification.
💎 Nurse 3 is assessing quantitative data to judge the program’s overall impact on client health outcomes.
Nurse 5 — Evaluation of Client Satisfaction
💎 By reviewing results of satisfaction surveys, Nurse 5 is analyzing qualitative feedback from caregivers and clients to determine program success.
💎 Satisfaction surveys are key evaluation tools for assessing client perception, service quality, and caregiver support.
💎 This action helps identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement within the palliative care program.
💎 Gathering this feedback ensures ongoing quality improvement and patient-centered care delivery.
💎 Evaluating satisfaction data aligns with the final step of the nursing process—evaluation, which confirms whether goals were met.
