1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories. g g g g g g g g g g

g g g g g g g g g g g
1 Psychological needs g
2 A maximal level of wellness
g g g g
3 Health maintenance and restoration g g g
4 Interpersonal interactions with the client g g g g
ANS: 3 g
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
g g g g g g g g g g g
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients,
g g g g g g g g g g g g
it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
processes by manipulating the clients environment.
g g g g g g
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
wellness.

Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon interpersonal

interactions.

5. A nurse moves from Seattle to Boston and begins working in a hospital. The most important
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
1 Massachusetts Nurse Practice Act g g g
2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston g g g g g
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital g g g g g g g
4 Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in g g g g g g g
Massachusetts
g
ANS: 1 g
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.
g g g g g g g g g g g
Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather to the profession itself. Although
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional advancement, it is not
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state. Knowledge of the Nurse
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importance.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to remain current.

g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
everything possible to return you to the optimum level of self-care possible. In coordinating an
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
approach to best meet the needs of this client, the nurse is fulfilling the role of:
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
1 Manager
2 Educator
3 Counselor
4 Communicator
ANS: 1 g
The nurse, in caring for this client, will coordinate the activities of other members of the health care
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
team. This client may require the assistance of a nursing assistant to provide personal care until the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
client is less fatigued. A nutritionist may be necessary for diet evaluation, planning, and teaching. A
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
nurse may provide education on the dialysis therapy and perform the skill necessary until the client
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
is able to do so independently.
