Abstract

The following questions for SVU-CME credit are based on the article entitled “Applications, Training Requirements, and Challenges in the Implementation of Ultrasonography in Nursing Practice: A Scoping Review.”
Both true/false and multiple-choice questions are included. There is only one (1) correct answer for the multiple-choice test items. Answer all the questions listed below. One-half (0.5) CME credit will be awarded for successful completion of this test with a grade of 80% or more.
What was the main goal of this scoping review? A. Assess long-term patient outcomes after ultrasound-guided procedures B. Compare ultrasound accuracy between nurses and physicians C. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ultrasound devices in nursing D. Identify the uses, training needs, and challenges of ultrasound in nursing practice
Which studies were included in this review? A. Studies where only physicians performed ultrasound B. Studies focusing only on pediatric populations C. Studies where nurses used ultrasound in clinical practice D. Studies about training with simulation only, without real clinical use
What framework did the authors use to guide this review? A. Arksey and O’Malley framework B. CONSORT C. GRADE D. PRISMA-P
Which of the following is NOT a main use of ultrasound in nursing practice? A. Clinical monitoring B. Genetic screening C. Device verification D. Procedural guidance
The most common barriers to using ultrasound in nursing were insufficient training, limited device availability, and cultural resistance. A. True B. False
The authors noted that the evidence is limited by differences in study design and lack of long-term outcome data. A. True B. False
Instructions: The CME tests are offered only online at www.svu.org. SVU members can complete the tests and earn CME credit for free. Nonmembers will be charged US$20 for one-half (0.5) CME credit. All tests for SVU CME must be completed by February 28, 2029.
