Nursing Profession? 1)
Physicians Need For
Handmaidens 2)
Societal Need For Healthcare Outside The
Home 3)
Military Demand For Nurses In The
Field 4) Germ Theory Influence On
Sanitation ANS: 3
Throughout The Centuries, Stability Of The Government Has Been Related To The
Success Of The Military To Protect Or Extend Its Domain. As The Survival And Well-
Being Of Soldiers Is Critical, Nurses Provided Healthcare To The Sick And Injured At
The Battle Site. The Physicians Handmaiden Was/Is A Nursing Stereotype Rather Than
An Influence On Nursing. Although There Has Been Need For Healthcare Outside The
Home Throughout History, This Has More Influence On The Development Of Hospitals
Than On Nursing; This Need Provided One More Setting For Nursing Work. Germ Theory
And Sanitation Helped To Improve Healthcare But Did Not Shape Nursing.

2. Which Of The Following Is An Example Of An Illness Prevention Activity?
Select All That Apply.
1)
Encouraging The Use Of A Food
Diary 2)
Joining A Cancer Support
Group 3)
Administering Immunization For HPV
4)
Teaching A Diabetic Patient About His Diet
ANS: 3
Administering Immunization For HPV Is An Example Of Illness Prevention. Although
Cancer Is A Disease, It Is Assumed That A Person Joining A Support Group Would
Already Have The Disease; Therefore, This Is Not Disease Prevention But Treatment.
Illness-Prevention Activities Focus On Avoiding A Specific Disease. A Food Diary Is A
Health-Promotion Activity. Teaching A Diabetic Patient About Diet Is A Treatment For
Diabetes; The Patient Already Has Diabetes, So It Cannot Prevent Diabetes.

4. All Of The Following Are Aspects Of The Full-Spectrum Nursing Role.
Which One Is Essential For The Nurse To Do In Order To Successfully Carry Out All
The Others?
1)
Thinking And Reasoning About The Clients
Care 2)
Providing Hands-On Client
Care 3)
Carrying Out Physician Orders
4)
Delegating To Assistive
Personnel ANS: 1
A Substantial Portion Of The Nursing Role Involves Using Clinical Judgment, Critical
Thinking, And Problem Solving, Which Directly Affect The Care The Client Will
Actually Receive. Providing Hands-On Care Is Important; However, Clinical Judgment,
Critical Thinking, And Problem Solving Are Essential To Do It Successfully. Carrying
Out Physician Orders Is A Small Part Of A Nurses Role; It, Too, Requires Nursing
Assessment, Planning, Intervention, And Evaluation. Many Simple Nursing Tasks Are
Being Delegated To Nursing Assistive Personnel; Delegation Requires Careful Analysis
Of Patient Status And The Appropriateness Of Support Personnel To Deliver Care.
Another Way To Analyze This Question Is That None Of The Options Of Providing
Hands-On Care, Carrying Out Physician Orders, And Delegating To Assistive Personnel
Is Required For The Nurse To Think And Reason About A Clients Care; So The Answer
Must Be 1.
