MULTIPLE CHOICE

1) Which nurse most likely kept records on sanitation techniques and the effects on health? a.
Florence Nightingale
I. Mary Nutting
II. Clara Bartona
III. Lillian Wald

Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses connected poor sanitation with cholera and
dysentery. Mary Nutting, Clara Barton, and Lillian Wald came after Nightingale, each contributing to the nursing profession in her
own way. Mary Nutting was instrumental in moving nursing education into universities. Clara Barton founded the American Red
Cross. Lillian Wald helped open the Henry Street Settlement.

2) The nurse prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcome. Which standard of nursing practice is the nurse
following? a. Assessment
I. Diagnosis
II. Planning
III. Implementation
SOLUTION:- C
In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcomes. During
assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the

3) An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level of proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to
the obstetrical floor? a. Novice
I. Proficient
II. Competent
III. Advanced beginner

SOLUTION:- A
A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of experience (e.g., an experienced
operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a
patient’s clinical situation as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple
previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and specific care required by the type of
patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing
care and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.

8) A nurse identifies gaps between local and best practices. Which Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competency is the
nurse demonstrating? a. Safety
I. Patient-centered care
II. Quality improvement
III. Teamwork and collaboration
SOLUTION:- C
Quality improvement identifies gaps between local and best practices. Safety minimizes risk of harm to patients and providers
through both system effectiveness and individual performance. Patient-centered care recognizes the patient or designee as the
source of control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient’s preferences,
values, and needs. Teamwork and collaboration allows effective functioning within nursing and interprofessional teams, fostering
open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision making.

9) A nurse has compassion fatigue. What is the nurse experiencing?
a. Lateral violence and intrapersonal conflict
b. Burnout and secondary traumatic stress
c. Short-term grief and single stressor
d. Physical and mental exhaustion
SOLUTION:- B
Compassion fatigue is a term used to describe a state of burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Compassion fatigue may
contribute to what is described as lateral violence
(nurse-nurse interactions, not intrapersonal). Frequent, intense, or prolonged exposure to grief and loss places nurses at risk for
developing compassion fatigue. Stressors, not a single stressor, contribute to compassion fatigue. Physical and mental exhaustion
describes burnout only.

DIF:Understand (comprehension)
OBJ:Discuss the influence of social, historical, political, and economic changes on nursing practices.

10) A patient is scheduled for surgery. When getting ready to obtain the informed consent, the patient tells the nurse, ―I have
no idea what is going to happen. I couldn’t ask any questions. The nurse does not allow the patient to sign the permit and notifies the
health care provider of the situation. Which role is the nurse displaying? a. Manager
I. Patient educator
II. Patient advocate
III. Clinical nurse specialist
SOLUTION:- C
As a patient advocate, the nurse protects the patient’s human and legal rights, including the right of the patient to understand
procedures before signing permits. Although nurses can be educators, it is the responsibility of the surgeon to provide education for
the patient in preparation for surgery, and it is the nurse’s responsibility to notify the health care provider if the patient is not properly
educated. Managers coordinate the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care, and clinical nurse specialists
are experts in a specialized area of nursing practice in a variety of settings.
