NR222/ NR 222 QUIZ 2: (LATEST 2025/ 2026 UPDATE) HEALTH AND WELLNESS | Q/A |
GRADE A| 100% CORRECT (VERIFIED ANSWERS) – CHAMBERLAIN
Question 1
You are preparing a presentation for your classmates regarding a clinical care coordination
conference for a patient with terminal cancer. As part of the preparation, you have your
classmates read the Nursing Code of Ethics for Professional Registered Nurses. Which statement
best describes the importance of this document?
A) It helps the nurse improve their own self-health care and physical fitness.
B) It serves as a legal document used primarily to protect patient confidentiality.
C) It ensures that every patient receives identical medical treatments regardless of diagnosis.
D) It defines the principles of right and wrong that guide nurses in providing patient care.
E) It provides a detailed list of clinical procedures and technical skills for surgical units.
Correct Answer: D) Defines the principles of right and wrong to provide patient care
Rationale: The Code of Ethics for Nurses is the philosophical ideal of right and wrong that
defines the principles used to provide care. It serves as a guide for carrying out nursing
responsibilities while providing high-quality care and meeting the ethical obligations of the
profession. It is not a clinical skills manual or a personal health guide.
Question 2
A nurse is caring for a patient with end-stage lung disease. The patient wants to go home on
oxygen and be comfortable. However, the family wants the patient to undergo a new
experimental surgical procedure. The nurse explains the risks and benefits of the operation to the
family and reinforces the patient's expressed wishes. In this scenario, the nurse is acting as the
patient’s:
A) Educator
B) Advocate
C) Caregiver
D) Communicator
E) Manager
Correct Answer: B) Advocate

the patient's wishes and helping the patient maintain autonomy over their treatment
choices, the nurse is fulfilling the advocacy role.
Question 3

wound. The nurse then observes as the patient's spouse demonstrates the procedure back to the
nurse. The nurse is acting in which professional role?
A) Educator
B) Advocate

, 2
D) Communicator
E) Researcher
Correct Answer: A) Educator
Rationale: The role of educator involves explaining concepts and facts about health,
describing the reasons for routine care activities, demonstrating procedures, and evaluating
the patient’s progress through methods such as return demonstration. Helping the spouse
learn to change a dressing is a direct educational intervention.
Question 4
The examination for Registered Nurse (RN) licensure (NCLEX-RN) is exactly the same in every
state in the United States. What is the primary purpose of this examination?
A) To guarantee that every nurse provides 100% safe care at all times.
B) To ensure that all nurses provide a standardized level of care to all patients.
C) To provide the minimal standard of knowledge required for an RN to practice safely.
D) To guarantee that all nursing schools provide identical educational experiences.
E) To determine which nurses are eligible for advanced practice specialties immediately.
Correct Answer: C) Provides the minimal standard of knowledge for an RN in practice
Rationale: Licensure via the NCLEX-RN provides a standardized minimum knowledge
base for nurses. While education and experience vary, the license ensures that the
individual has met the entry-level requirements to practice nursing safely in the interest of
public protection.
Question 5
Contemporary nursing requires knowledge and skills for various roles. Which of the following is
considered a core professional role of the nurse involving the protection of the patient's human
and legal rights?
A) Genetic Counselor
B) Health Administrator
C) Patient Advocate
D) Medical Technician
E) Physical Therapist
Correct Answer: C) Patient Advocate
Rationale: While nurses act as caregivers, educators, and communicators, the role of the
Patient Advocate is specifically focused on protecting rights and supporting the patient's
decisions. Genetic counseling and physical therapy are separate professional specialties.
Question 6
Which advanced practice nursing role is primarily responsible for providing comprehensive care,
usually in a primary care setting, and directly managing the medical care of patients who are
healthy or have chronic conditions?
A) Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS)
, 3
B) Certified Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
C) Nurse Practitioner (NP)
D) Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)
E) Nurse Administrator
Correct Answer: C) Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Rationale: An NP provides comprehensive care, often in primary care, managing both acute
and chronic conditions for a specific group of patients. A CNS (Option A) is typically an
expert in a specialized area of practice (like diabetes), and a CRNA (Option B) focuses on
anesthesia.
Question 7
Health care reform is expected to bring significant changes to the emphasis of nursing care.
Which model best describes the expected shift in health care delivery?
A) Moving from an acute illness model to a health promotion and illness prevention model.
B) Moving from an illness prevention model to a strictly health promotion model.
C) Moving from hospital-based care to exclusively home-based care for all patients.
D) Moving from an acute illness model to a disease management model only.
E) Moving from clinical care to administrative-led wellness programs.
Correct Answer: A) Moving from an acute illness to a health promotion, illness prevention
model
Rationale: Modern health care reform emphasizes "upstream" interventions. Instead of just
treating patients when they are acutely ill (hospital-based), the focus is shifting toward
preventing illness and promoting wellness to improve long-term population health.
Question 8
A nurse manager notices an increase in urinary tract infections in patients with Foley catheters.
The staff reviews literature on catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and
establishes new care practices based on their findings. This is an example of which QSEN
competency?
A) Patient-centered care
B) Safety
C) Teamwork and collaboration
D) Quality improvement
E) Informatics
Correct Answer: D) Quality improvement
Rationale: Quality Improvement (QI) involves using data to monitor the outcomes of care
processes and using improvement methods to design and test changes to continuously
improve the quality and safety of health care systems.
Question 9
A critical care nurse uses a new research-based intervention to correctly position patients who are
, 4
on ventilators to reduce the risk of pneumonia. This action exemplifies which QSEN
competency?
A) Patient-centered care
B) Evidence-based practice
C) Teamwork and collaboration
D) Quality improvement
E) Safety
Correct Answer: B) Evidence-based practice
Rationale: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the integration of the best current evidence
from research with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery
of optimal health care. Using research-based positioning protocols is a direct application of
EBP.
Question 10
A nurse consultant decides to compare the effectiveness of the current pressure injury risk
assessment tool against a newly developed assessment instrument. This nurse is functioning in
which career role?
A) Clinical Nurse Specialist
B) Nurse Administrator
C) Nurse Educator
D) Nurse Researcher
E) Nurse Practitioner
Correct Answer: D) Nurse Researcher
Rationale: Nurse researchers investigate problems to improve nursing care and expand the
scope of nursing practice. By designing a study to compare the effectiveness of two different
assessment tools, the nurse is performing a research function.
Question 11
A nurse enters a room to assess a patient following a blood transfusion. The nurse notices the
patient is reluctant to get out of bed, which is a change from the previous day's behavior. Which
factor best improves the nurse's clinical decision-making in this situation?
A) The nurse's ability to work the same 12-hour shift every week.
B) The nurse's knowledge of the hospital's billing and discharge codes.
C) The nurse having cared for the patient on consecutive days, allowing for the recognition of
behavioral patterns.
D) The nurse's use of a standardized electronic checklist for every patient.
E) The nurse's ability to delegate the physical assessment to an unlicensed assistant.
Correct Answer: C) Caring for the patient on consecutive days
Rationale: Clinical decision-making is greatly enhanced by "knowing the patient." Caring
for a patient on consecutive days allows the nurse to establish a baseline of "normal"
