3. Nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement in 1893 were among the first nurses to
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
demonstrate autonomy in practice. This was because those nurses
t t t t t t t t t
a. Had no ability to work in the hospital setting.
t t t t t t t t
b. Were required to use critical thinking skills.t t t t t t
c. Focused solely on healing the very ill. t t t t t t
d. Planned their care around research findings. t t t t t
ANS: B t
In 1893, nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement were some of the first to demonstrate
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
autonomy in practice because they encountered situations that required quick and innovative
t t t t t t t t t t t t
problem solving and critical thinking, and provided therapies aimed at maintaining wellness, as well
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
as curing the ill. Nursing hospitals expanded in the late nineteenth century and were major providers
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
of nursing care. Not until the early twentieth century was there a movement toward a scientific,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
research-based body of nursing knowledge.
t t t t t
4. In 1923, the Goldmark Report was an important study that
t t t t t t t t t
a. Formed formal nurse midwifery programs. t t t t
b. Established the Center for Ethics and Human Rights. t t t t t t t
c. Revised the ANA code of ethics. t t t t t
d. Led to the development of the Yale School of Nursing.
t t t t t t t t t
ANS: D t
In 1923, the Goldmark Report identified the need for increased financial support for university-
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
based schools of nursing. As a result, the Yale School of Nursing was developed. Graduate nurse
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
midwifery programs did not come into existence until the 1940s, and the Center for Ethics and
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Human Rights was founded in 1990. The ANA code of ethics was published in 1985 and was last
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
updated in 2001.

5. The major difference between a baccalaureate degree nursing program and an associates
t t t t t t t t t t t
degree nursing program is that the baccalaureate program includes studies in
t t t t t t t t t t t
, Stuvia.com t- tThe tMarketplace tto tBuy tand tSell tyour tStudy tMaterial
a. Basic sciences and theoretical courses.
t t t t
b. Social sciences and humanities. t t t
c. Theoretical and clinical courses. t t t
d. Basic sciences and clinical courses.
t t t t
ANS: B t
Both associates degree programs and baccalaureate programs focus on basic sciences and on
t t t t t t t t t t t t
theoretical and clinical courses. Baccalaureate programs, however, also focus on courses in the social
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
sciences, arts, and humanities to support nursing theory.
t t t t t t t t
6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced practice
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
nurse and has earned her masters degree as a family nurse practitioner. However, she seems
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
unfulfilled and has a strong desire to do research. To fulfill her desire, the nurse most likely
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
would apply to attend a program that would lead to a
t t t t t t t t t t t
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc).t t t t t
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD). t t t t
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP).t t t t t
d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN).
t t t t t t t
ANS: B t
PhD programs emphasize basic research and theory and are research oriented. Professional doctoral
t t t t t t t t t t t t
programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings to clinical nursing.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
7. The nurse is caring for her patients and is focused on managing their care as opposed to managing
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
and performing skills. This nurse demonstrates which level of proficiency according to Benner?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
a. Novice
b. Competent
, Stuvia.com t- tThe tMarketplace tto tBuy tand tSell tyour tStudy tMaterial
c. Proficient
d. Expert
ANS: C t
The proficient nurse focuses on managing care as opposed to managing and performing skills. The
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
novice nurse deals with a specific set of rules or procedures, which are usually stepwise and linear.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
The competent nurse understands the organization and the specific care required by specific types
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
of patients and has experience with psychomotor skills. The expert nurse identifies patient-centered
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
problems, as well as problems related to the health care system.
t t t t t t t t t t t
8. Which of the following resources guides faculty on structure and evaluation of the nursing
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
curriculum?
t
a. ANAs Standards of Nursing Practice t t t t
b. Essentials of Baccalaureate Education t t t
c. NLNAC Interpretive Guidelines t t
d. Standards of Professional Performance t t t
ANS: B t
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) published Essentials of Baccalaureate
t t t t t t t t t t t
Education for Professional Nursing: A Final Report (1998), which guides faculty on structure and
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
evaluation of the curriculum and the performance of the graduate. The ANAs Standards of Nursing
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Practice demonstrates the critical thinking model known as the nursing process. Standards of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Professional Performance describes a competent level of behavior in the professional role.
t t t t t t t t t t t t
NLNAC Interpretive Guidelines identifies core competencies for the professional nurse.
t t t t t t t t t t
9. The nurse is caring for the patient who has had major abdominal surgery and also has a large
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
sacral pressure sore. The nurse implements coughing and deep breathing exercises and consults
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the wound care specialist to evaluate and prescribe care for the pressure sore, even though no
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
physician order has provided instructions to do so. In doing this, the nurse is implementing the
