1. Which nurse most likely kept records on sanitation techniques and the effects on health?
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




a. Florence Nightingale io




b. Mary Nutting io




c. ClaraBarton io




d. Lillian Wald io




ANS: A i o




Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses connected
io io io io io io io io io io




poor sanitation with cholera and dysentery. Mary Nutting, Clara Barton, and Lillian Wald came
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




after Nightingale, each contributing to the nursing profession in her own way. Mary Nutting was
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




instrumental in moving nursing education into universities. Clara Barton founded the American
io io io io io io io io io io io io




Red Cross. Lillian Wald helped open the Henry Street Settlement.

2. The nurse prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcome. Which standard of
io io io io io io io io io io io io




io nursing practice is the nurse following? io io io io io




a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning
d. Implementation
ANS: C i o




In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive
io io io io io io io io io io




idata pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse
o io io io io io io io io io io io io io




analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




registered nurse implements (carries out) the identified plan.

3. An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level of
io io io io io io io io io io io




io proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor? io io io io io io io io io io




a. Novice
b. Proficient
c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner io




ANS: A i o

, A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization
io io io io io io io io io io io io




and specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




an advanced beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




to identify meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.

4. A nurse assesses a patient’s fluid status and decides that the patient needs to drink more fluids. The
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




demonstrating?
io




a. Licensure
b. Autonomy
c. Certification
d. Accountability

ANS: B i o




Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
io io io io io io io io io io io io




independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United
io io io io io io io io io io io io




States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN, the nurse may
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




choose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice. Accountability means
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing care
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




provided.

5. A nurse prepares the budget and policies for an intensive care unit. Which role is the nurse
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




implementing?
io




a. Educator
b. Manager
c. Advocate
d. Caregiver

ANS: B i o

, A manager coordinates the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




and has personnel, policy, and budgetary responsibility for a specific nursing unit or facility. As
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




an educator, you explain concepts and facts about health, describe the reason for routine care
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning or patient
io io io io io io io io io io io




behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning. As a patient advocate, you protect your
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




patient’s human and legal rights and provide assistance in asserting these rights if the need arises.
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




As a caregiver, you help patients maintain and regain health, manage disease and symptoms,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




and attain a maximal level function and independence through the healing process.

6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced practice
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




nurse. However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory development. To
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




fulfill this desire, which program should the nurse attend?
io io io io io io io io io




a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc) io io io io io




b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) io io io io




c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) io io io io io




d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN) io io io io io io io




ANS: B i o




Some doctoral programs prepare nurses for more rigorous research and theory development and
io io io io io io io io io io io io




award the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing. Professional doctoral
io io io io io io io io io io io




programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings to clinical
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




practitioners.

7. A nurse attends a workshop on current nursing issues provided by the American Nurses
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




Association. Which type of education did the nurse receive?
io io io io io io io io io




a. Graduate education io




b. Inserviceeducation io




c. Continuing education io




d. Registered nurse education io io




ANS: C i o




Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by universities,
io io io io io io io io io




hospitals, state nurses associations, professional nursing organizations, and educational and
io io io io io io io io io io




health care institutions. After obtaining a baccalaureate degree in nursing, you can pursue
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




graduate education leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in any number of graduate fields,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




including nursing. Inservice education programs are instruction or training provided by a health
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




care facility or institution. Registered nurse education is the education preparation for an
io io io io io io io io io io io io io




individual intending to be an RN.

8. A nurse identifies gaps between local and best practices. Which Quality and Safety Education for
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




io Nurses (QSEN) competency is the nurse demonstrating?
io io io io io io




a. Safety
b. Patient-centeredcare io




c. Quality improvement io




d. Teamwork and collaboration io io




ANS: C i o




Quality improvement identifies gaps between local and best practices. Safety minimizes risk of
io io io io io io io io io io io io




harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance.
io io io io io io io io io io io io




Patient-centered care recognizes the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient’s preferences,
io io io io io io io io io io io io




values, and needs. Teamwork and collaboration allows effective functioning within nursing and
io io io io io io io io io io io io




interprofessional teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision
io io io io io io io io io io




making.

9. A nurse has compassion fatigue. What is the nurse experiencing?
io io io io io io io io io




a. Lateral violence and intrapersonal conflict io io io io




b. Burnout and secondary traumatic stress io io io io




c. Short-term grief and single stressor io io io io




d. Physical and mental exhaustion io io io




ANS: B i o




Compassion fatigue is a term used to describe a state of burnout and secondary traumatic stress.
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




Compassion fatigue may contribute to what is described as lateral violence
io io io io io io io io io io io




(nurse-nurse interactions, not intrapersonal). Frequent, intense, or prolonged exposure to grief
io io io io io io io io io io




and loss places nurses at risk for developing compassion fatigue. Stressors, not a single stressor,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




contribute to compassion fatigue. Physical and mental exhaustion describes burnout only.
