The clinical instructor interprets the LPNs outcome priority based on which statement? a. “My family wanted me to go back to school.” b. “I want to better my financial situation.” c. “I really enjoy school.” d. “I would like to advance to a teaching role someday.” ANS: B The outcome priority is the essential need that must be addressed, determined by internal and external factors, such as needing to better a financial situation. The other statements indicate reasons for returning to school, but they are not essential needs or issues to be addressed. DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis OBJ: Identify how experiences influence learning in adults. TOP: Adult Learning 6. A nurse notices a posting for a management position for which she is qualified. If the nurse is in the moving phase of Lewin’s Change Theory, which statement reflects the action she is most likely to take? a. Does nothing to obtain the position b. Applies for the position c. Identifies that change is needed d. Settles into the routine of her job ANS: B Unfreezing begins when reasons for change are identified. The moving phase involves active planning and action. Moving also means you are dealing with both positive and negative forces as they ebb and flow, and you are making modifications to your plan as needed. Refreezing occurs after the change has become routine. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application OBJ: Understand Change Theory and how it applies to becoming an RN. TOP: Change Theory 7. An Orthopedic Nurse is contemplating changes in her professional life and identifying goals. Which action should the nurse take if she is interested in pursuing a long-term goal? a. Studies for a telemetry exam scheduled for next week b. Enrolls in a Nurse Practitioner program c. Attends a seminar to become a charge nurse d. Continues to work on the orthopedic floor full-time ANS: B A short-term goal is one that can be attained in a period of 6 months or less. Short- term goals include becoming a charge nurse and passing the telemetry exam. A long- term goal is attained in greater than 6 months and includes studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. Continuing to work on the orthopedic floor does not represent either a short-term or a long-term goal. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application OBJ: Identify both short- and long-term personal and professional goals. TOP: Setting Goals 8.
