Chapter 1: Introduction to the Nursing Profession: Evolution,
Theories, and Practice
1. A nurse is feeling emotionally exhausted and physically drained after several
consecutive shifts in a high-acuity unit. Which current trend in nursing
emphasizes the nurse's obligation to perform intentional practices to
promote their own mental and emotional well-being?
A. Higher Education Requirements
B. Evidence-Based Practice
C. Essential Need for Self-Care
D. Quality and Safety Education for Nurses
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-care involves intentional actions and practices individuals engage
in to promote their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This trend is
increasingly recognized as essential due to the demanding and emotionally taxing
nature of nursing, which was further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. A patient refuses a recommended surgical procedure, stating it conflicts
with their personal values. The nurse supports the patient’s right to make
this decision, even though the medical team believes the surgery is
life-saving. Which ethical principle is the nurse upholding?
A. Beneficence
B. Autonomy
C. Nonmaleficence
D. Justice
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Autonomy is the principle that an individual has the right to make their
own decisions about their own life and body, even when those decisions differ from
healthcare provider recommendations. Upholding a patient's right to refuse
treatment after they are well-informed is a primary application of this principle.
3. Florence Nightingale’s contributions during the Crimean War fundamentally
altered healthcare by reducing mortality rates through which primary
intervention?
A. Developing advanced pharmacological treatments
B. Implementing rigorous sanitation and hygiene measures
