SECTION 1 – NURSING ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES (Questions 1–25)
Question 1
During a physical assessment, the nurse closes the door and provides a drape to
promote privacy. The nurse is performing her role as a/an:

B) Communicator
C) Change agent
D) Caregiver

1
,and maintain dignity, health, and wellness by viewing a person holistically.
Providing privacy during a physical assessment demonstrates respect for the
client's dignity and is a fundamental aspect of the caregiver role. As an
advocate, the nurse intercedes or works on behalf of the client. Identifying
the need and problems of the client and communicating it to other members of
the health team is the role of a communicator. As a change agent, the nurse
assists the client to modify their behavior.
Question 2

to prevent the worsening of respiratory problems. The patient asked about the
things that he can do when feelings of wanting to smoke arises. The nurse
enumerates ways of dealing with the situation. This is an example of a nurse's
role as a/an:
A) Advocate
B) Clinician
C) Change agent
D) Caregiver
Answer: C
Rationale: As a change agent, the nurse assists the client to modify their
behavior. By providing alternative strategies to deal with the urge to smoke,
Nurse Cathy is helping the patient change their behavior patterns. As an
advocate, the nurse intercedes or works on behalf of the client. As a clinician,
the nurse would use technical expertise to administer nursing care. The role
of a nurse as caregiver helps client promote, restore and maintain dignity,
health and wellness by viewing a person holistically.
Question 3

diagnosis is done. Based on Benner's theory, she is a/an:
A) Novice
B) Expert
2
,C) Competent
D) Advanced beginner
Answer: B
Rationale: The ability to perceive something without further evidence is the
development of intuition and is seen in Expert nurses. Expert nurses have a
"gut feeling" or intuitive grasp of situations based on years of experience
and pattern recognition. A novice nurse is governed by rules and usually
inflexible. Competent nurses are planning nursing care consciously.
Advanced beginners demonstrate acceptable performance but still need more
experience.
Question 4
One of Nurse Cathy's co-workers is Annie who is flexible in any given situation.
Annie is performing her duties well without supervision but still needs more
experience and practice to develop a consciously planned nursing care.
According to Patricia Benner's category in specialization in nursing, Annie
is a/an:
A) Novice
B) Expert
C) Competent
D) Advanced beginner
Answer: D
Rationale: Advanced beginners demonstrate acceptable performance and can
function without direct supervision but still lack the experience to develop
consciously planned nursing care. They have gained enough experience to
recognize patterns but still require more practice. Novices are governed by
rules and usually inflexible. Expert nurses have intuitive grasp on the
situation dealt with. Competent nurses are planning nursing care consciously.
Question 5
3
, Newborn screening is done to every newborn in the Philippines. This is an
example of:
A) Primary prevention
B) Secondary prevention
C) Tertiary prevention
D) Rehabilitation
Answer: B
Rationale: Promotion of early detection and early treatment of the disease is
under secondary prevention. Newborn screening aims to detect treatable
conditions early before they cause irreversible damage. Examples of secondary
prevention include breast self-exam, TB screening, genetic counseling, and
routine Pap smears. Primary prevention focuses on preventing disease before
it occurs (immunizations, health education). Tertiary prevention focuses on
rehabilitation and preventing complications in existing disease.
Question 6
Which of the following is the most important purpose of planning care with a
patient?
A) Development of a standardized NCP
B) Expansion of the current taxonomy of nursing diagnosis
C) Making of individualized patient care
D) Incorporation of both nursing and medical diagnoses in patient care
Answer: C
Rationale: To be effective, the nursing care plan developed in the planning
phase of the nursing process must reflect the individualized needs of the
patient. Standardized care plans are useful as guides but must be tailored
to each patient's unique situation, preferences, and goals. The primary
purpose of planning is to create a personalized blueprint for nursing
actions that address the patient's specific health problems and needs.
