process of assessing quality of care delivered at the hospital. What is the
organization associated with the credentialing of hospitals?
1. Joint Commission
2. National League for Nursing
3. American Nurses Association
4. National Council Licensure Examination
Correct Answer: 1. The Joint Commission (formerly the Joint Commission on

of nursing education and nursing service.

for nursing in the United States. Its purposes are to promote high standards of

be- come Licensed Practical Nurses or Registered Professional Nurses must

A student nurse is about to graduate from an accredited nursing program. The
student nurse understands that an action unrelated to a state Nurse Practice
Act is:
1. Setting guidelines for nurses' salaries in the state
2. Establishing reciprocity for licensure between states
3. Determining minimum requirements for nursing education
4. Maintaining a list of nurses who can legally practice in the state
Correct Answer: 1. State Nurse Practice Acts define and regulate the practice of
nursing within the state. The salary of nurses is determined through negotiations
between nurses or their representatives, such as a union or a professional nursing
organization, and the representatives of the agency for which they work.
2. A state's Nurse Practice Act determines the criteria for reciprocity for licensure.
3. A state's Nurse Practice Act stipulates minimum requirements for nursing
education.
4. A state's Nurse Practice Act defines the criteria for licensure within the state. The
actual functions, such as maintaining a list of nurses who can legally practice in the
state, may be delegated to another official body such as a State Board of Nursing or
State Education Department.
The nurse changes a patient's dry sterile dressing. How is the nurse
functioning when performing this task?
1. Interdependently
2. Collaboratively
3. Independently
4. Dependently
Correct Answer: 4. A nurse is not permitted legally to prescribe wound care. The
nurse needs a practitioner's order to provide wound care.
1. The changing of a dry sterile dressing is an interdependent action by the nurse
when the practitioner's order for wound care states: Dry Sterile Dressing PRN.
2. In this situation, the nurse is not working with other health-care professionals to
implement a practitioner's order.

order.
The nurse must administer a medication. What should the nurse do first?
1. Check the patient's identification armband
2. Ensure the medication is in the medication cart
3. Verify the practitioner's prescription for accuracy
4. Determine the appropriateness of the prescribed medication
Correct Answer: 3. The administration of medications is a dependent function of the
nurse. The practitioner's prescription should be verified for accuracy. The
prescription must include the name of the patient, the name of the drug, the size of
the dose, the route of administration, the number of times per day to be
administered, and any related parameters.
1. Although this action is essential for the safe administration of a medication to a
patient, it is not the first step of this procedure.
2. Although this may be done as a time- management practice, it is not the first step
when preparing to administer a medication to a patient.
4. A nurse is legally responsible for the safe administration of medications; therefore,
the nurse should assess if a medication prescription is reasonable. However, this is
not the first step when preparing to administer a medication to a patient.

degree, a future student nurse should consider schools that have met the
