The emergence of modern nursing is usually attributed to the influence of
- Florence Nightingale.
- Clara Barton.
- Lillian Wald.
- Sairy Gamp. - Answer Florence Nightingale.
Miss Nightingale's insistence that nurses be women of good character helped nursing emerge from its
"Dark Ages" and elevated it to a respectable vocation. In addition, she established a school for nurse
training and wrote several books on nursing. Although Barton and Wald are positive examples in nursing
history, neither influenced nursing to the extent that Nightingale did. Sairy Gamp is a negative character
associated with nursing history.
When permitted by the state Nurse Practice Act, under what conditions can the LPN/LVN perform
complex nursing skills not taught in the basic educational program?
,- When ordered to do so by the attending physician
- When the task is delegated to a competent LPN/LVN by a supervising RN
- When the LPN/LVN has graduated from a nursing program accredited by the National League for
Nursing
- When the state of practice has declared a severe nursing shortage - Answer When the task is
delegated to a competent LPN/LVN by a supervising RN
Delegation, if allowed by the Nurse Practice Act of the state, can take place if the RN teaches the skill,
observes a return demonstration, documents the teaching/learning process in the LPN/LVN's file, and
provides ongoing direct supervision. LPN/LVNs are under the direct supervision of professional nurses.
Accreditation of the school does not confer the right to accept delegation. Nursing shortages cannot
dictate the acceptability of delegation.
The first chapter of the American Red Cross was established by
- Clara Barton.
- Sairy Gamp.
- Dorothea Lynde Dix.
- Florence Nightingale. - Answer Clara Barton.
Clara Barton established the first chapter of the American Red Cross. Sairy Gamp was a fictional
character in Charles Dickens' novel Martin Chuzzlewit. Dorothea Lynde Dix was appointed
superintendent of nurses and organized a corps of female nurses during the Civil War. Florence
Nightingale nursed wounded soldiers during the Crimean War.
Which individuals made significant contributions to nursing? (Select all that apply.)
- Lillian Wald
- Linda Richards
,- Sairy Gamp
- Betsy Prig
- Mary Mahoney - Answer Lillian Wald
Linda Richards
Mary Mahoney
Wald organized the first visiting nurse service for the poor. Linda Richards was America's first
professionally trained nurse; she organized other training schools. Mary Mahoney was the first African-
American graduate nurse. Gamp and Prigg were Dickens characters who portrayed nurses as scoundrels
and women of ill repute.
A patient tells the nursing student, "I keep thinking of the mistake I made that led to the accident. I can't
get it out of my mind. Now my son has a broken leg." The nursing student correctly identifies this as
- random thinking.
- habitual thinking.
- ruminative thinking.
- directed thinking. - Answer ruminative thinking.
Ruminative thinking replays the same situation repeatedly without reaching an outcome. Random
thinking involves many thoughts or scenes running aimlessly through the mind. Habitual thinking
involves routines performed as if on automatic pilot. Directed thinking is purposeful and outcome
oriented.
Which factor that influences critical thinking provides the best rationale for using a team meeting to plan
care for a patient?
- Collaboration
- Moral development
- Self-confidence
- Maturity - Answer Collaboration
, Collaborative effort promotes critical thinking skills; thus, care planning by a knowledgeable group is
likely to result in creative solutions to problems. The other options do not provide a rationale for using
team planning sessions.
A nurse is performing routine vital signs on patients. The nurse has obtained vital signs many times
before and is able to do so without much conscious thought. This is an example of
- directed thinking.
- negative thinking.
- ruminative thinking.
- nonfocused thinking. - Answer nonfocused thinking.
Directed thinking is purposeful and outcome oriented. Negative thinking occurs when the mind is stuck
on negative thoughts and blocks worthwhile thinking. Ruminative thinking occurs when the same
situation or scene is replayed in the mind over and over, without reaching an outcome. Nonfocused
thinking occurs when the brain is engaged out of habit, without much conscious thought.
A nursing student demonstrates the ability to recall and repeat memorized information but does not
understand the information. This is an example of what cognitive level?
- Analysis
- Knowledge
- Application
- Comprehension - Answer Knowledge
Knowledge refers to the ability to recall and repeat information one has memorized. Comprehension
refers to the ability to very basically understand information, recall it, and identify examples of that
information. Application means being able to use learned material in new situations. Analysis means to
be able to break down complex information into its basic parts and relate those parts to the whole
picture.
The cognitive levels used on the NCLEX-PN examination are knowledge, comprehension, application, and
