a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a. Florence Nightingale a2
b. Mary Nutting a2
c. Clara Barton a2
d. Lillian Wald a2
ANS: A a2
Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
connected poor sanitation with cholera and dysentery. Mary Nutting, Clara Barton, and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
Lillian Wald came after Nightingale, each contributing to the nursing profession in her
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
own way. Mary Nutting was instrumental in moving nursing education into universities.
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2

ANS: C a2
In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
alternatives to attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
comprehensive data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis,
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
the registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues.
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2

3. An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
of proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a. Novice
b. Proficient
c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner a2
ANS: A a2
, A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
previous level of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
practice in home health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
patient’s clinical situation as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
competent nurse understands the organization and specific care required by the type of
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner.
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
This experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
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
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
fluids. The nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the

nurse demonstrating?
a2 a2
a. Licensure
b. Autonomy
c. Certification
d. Accountability
ANS: B a2
Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
United States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN,
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
the nurse may choose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice.
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
Accountability means that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
quality of nursing care provided.

nursing care and has personnel, policy, and budgetary responsibility for a specific
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
nursing unit or facility. As an educator, you explain concepts and facts about health,
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
describe the reason for routine care activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
activities, reinforce learning or patient behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
learning. As a patient advocate, you protect your patient’s human and legal rights and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
provide assistance in asserting these rights if the need arises. As a caregiver, you help
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
patients maintain and regain health, manage disease and symptoms, and attain a
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2

6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
practice nurse. However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
development. To fulfill this desire, which program should the nurse attend?
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc)
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) a2 a2 a2 a2
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP)
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN)
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
ANS: B a2
Some doctoral programs prepare nurses for more rigorous research and theory
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
development and award the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing.
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
Professional doctoral programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
research findings to clinical nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners.

a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
universities, hospitals, state nurses associations, professional nursing organizations, and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
educational and health care institutions. After obtaining a baccalaureate degree in nursing,
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
you can pursue graduate education leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in any
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
number of graduate fields, including nursing. Inservice education programs are
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
instruction or training provided by a health care facility or institution. Registered nurse
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
