Chapter 1, The Professional Nurse

1. The nursing director attends a workshop and is presenting information on the ANA's
T T T T T T T T T T T T



Nursing's Social Policy Statement (2015b). Which statement regarding the profession of
T T T T T T T T T T T



nursing is included in the publication?
T T T T T



a. Nurses are expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to
T T T T T T T T T T T T



execute their professional duties. T T T



b. Use public policy of current legislature to shape the future of the nursing
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



profession.
c. Use scientific knowledge to ration care to those individuals with noncomplex
T T T T T T T T T T T



diagnoses and simple treatment options. T T T T



d. Use assessment as the guide in order to treat the full range of human responses
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



within the physical environment. T T T




ANS: A T T



Feedback: According to the ANA (2015b) Nursing's Social Policy Statement, nurses are
T T T T T T T T T T T T



expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to execute their
T T T T T T T T T T T T



professional duties. In return, nurses expect society to authorize practice autonomy, extend
T T T T T T T T T T T T



self-governance, protect the title of RN and scope of practice, receive respect and fair T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



remuneration for services, be free to practice nursing to the full extent of educational
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



preparation, receive support to sustain the nursing profession, and be protected from
T T T T T T T T T T T T



hazardous service activities. Shaping the future of nursing is a primary goal of the ANA and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



all its efforts. Use of scientific knowledge and assessment are characteristics of the nursing
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



profession and are included in the nursing process.

2. A nurse who has worked for 15 years in the hospital has an opportunity to attend an
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



RN-to-BSN program, and the hospital will pay for the cost of tuition if the nurse agrees to
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



work there for 2 years following graduation. The nurse has accepted and is in the first term at
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



the local college. If the nurse wants to work on critical and reflective thinking skills, which
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



activity should the nurse focus on developing?
T T T T T T



a. Reading a chapter on “Care of the Cardiac Patient” T T T T T T T T



b. Speaking to the nurses on the clinical unit T T T T T T T



c. Listening to family as they share the client's story T T T T T T T T



d. Writing a paper on nursing for the palliative clientT T T T T T T T




ANS: D T T



Feedback: Writing requires nurses to use critical and reflective thinking. Speaking enables
T T T T T T T T T T T T



the nurse to develop skills to communicate effectively verbally with clients as well as
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



colleagues. Listening enables thought organization. Reading stimulates the release of
T T T T T T T T T T



neurotrophins, strengthening neural pathways. T T T

3. A nurse in the long-term care facility has decided to return to nursing school to earn a higher
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



degree. The nurse is full of positive thoughts and energy when contemplates all the new
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



things to learn. According to Shane's returning-to-school syndrome, which phase is this
T T T T T T T T T T T T



nurse experiencing?
T



a. Conflict phase T



b. Reintegration phase T



c. Integration phase T



d. Honeymoon phase T




ANS: D T T



Feedback: Shane describes a “returning-to-school syndrome” encountered by registered
T T T T T T T T T



nurses returning to earn higher nursing degrees. The first phase, the honeymoon, is positive
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



and the nurse recognizes similarities between previous educational experiences and the
T T T T T T T T T T T



present experiences that reinforce their original role identity as a nurse. As a result, the nurse
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



feels energetic about learning new things. The conflict phase is characterized by turbulent
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



negative emotions when faculty members challenge the nurse to change ways of thinking
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



and/or practicing. Phase 3, or reintegration, identifies the successful resolution of conflict. In
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



this stage, nurses struggle to hold on to cherished beliefs about practice and frequently
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



wonder why they decided to pursue a higher degree. The final stage, integration, is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



characterized by the ability to blend the original culture of work with the new culture of
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



school. Integration of the old with the new results in a positive resolution of the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



returning-to-school syndrome but occurs later in the process. T T T T T T T

4. A student nurse, who is in the second semester of nursing school, is experiencing an
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



unsettled feeling. The nurse notes a lack of confidence in knowing how to act or what
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



questions to ask. According to Bridges' Managing Transitions theory, what phase of
T T T T T T T T T T T T



transition is this student experiencing? T T T T



a. New beginning T



b. Neutral zone T



c. Transition one T



d. Letting go T




ANS: B T T



Feedback: The second phase that Bridges calls “the neutral zone” is when the old identity
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



has vanished but the new one is not fully developed. In this phase, people experience a very
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



unsettled feeling because they may not know how to act or what questions to ask. A new
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



beginning is the third phase and is characterized by a new mental image or experience
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



hallmarked by “a release of new energy in a new direction.” A transition is the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



psychological adaptation that occurs and is not part of the phases. Letting go is the first
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



phase of the process and requires letting go of the old identity.
