Chapter 1. Nursing Past & Present ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




Multiple Choice ,o




Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




____ 1. What is the most influential factor that has shaped the nursing profession?
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o

Physicians need for handmaidens ,o ,o ,o




2)

Societal need for healthcare outside the home
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




3)

Military demand for nurses in the field
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




4)

Germ theory influence on sanitation
,o ,o ,o ,o




ANS: 3 ,o




Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the success of the
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and well-being of soldiers is critical,
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. The physicians
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence on nursing. Although there
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




has been need for healthcare outside the home throughout history, this has more influence on
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




the development of hospitals than on nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




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
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




apply.
,o




1)

Encouraging the use of a food diary ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




2)

Joining a cancer support group
,o ,o ,o ,o




3)

Administering immunization for HPV ,o ,o ,o




4)

Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




ANS: 3 ,o




Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although cancer is a
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease;
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatment. Illness-prevention activities focus on
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health-promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so it cannot
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




prevent diabetes.

____ 3. Which of the following contributions of Florence Nightingale had an immediate impact
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




on improving patients health?
,o ,o ,o ,o




1)

Providing a clean environment ,o ,o ,o




2)

,3)

Changing the delivery of care in hospitals ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




4)

Establishing nursing as a distinct profession ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




ANS: 1 ,o




Improved sanitation (a clean environment) greatly and immediately reduced the rate of
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




infection and mortality in hospitals. The other responses are all activities of Florence
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




Nightingale that improved healthcare or nursing, but the impact is long range, not immediate.

____ 4. All of the following are aspects of the full-spectrum nursing role. Which one is essential
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




for the nurse to do in order to successfully carry out all the others?
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




1)

Thinking and reasoning about the clients care ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




2)

Providing hands-on client care ,o ,o ,o




3)

Carrying out physician orders ,o ,o ,o




4)

Delegating to assistive personnel ,o ,o ,o




ANS: 1 ,o




A substantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment, critical thinking, and
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




problem solving, which directly affect the care the client will actually receive. Providing hands-
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and problem solving are
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o

, essential to do it successfully. Carrying out physician orders is a small part of a nurses role; it,
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




too, requires nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Many simple nursing
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




tasks are being delegated to nursing assistive personnel; delegation requires careful analysis
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




of patient status and the appropriateness of support personnel to deliver care. Another way to
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




analyze this question is that none of the options of providing hands-on care, carrying out
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




physician orders, and delegating to assistive personnel is required for the nurse to think and
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




reason about a clients care; so the answer must be 1.

____ 5. Which statement pertaining to Benners practice model for clinical competence is true?
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




1)

Progression through the stages is constant, with most nurses reaching the proficient stage.
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




2)

Progression through the stages involves continual development of thinking and technical skills.
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




3)

The nurse must have experience in many areas before being considered an expert.
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




4)

The nurses progress through the stages is determined by years of experience and skills.
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




ANS: 2 ,o




Movement through the stages is not constant. Benners model is based on integration of
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




knowledge, technical skill, and intuition in the development of clinical wisdom. The model does
,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o ,o




not mention experience in many areas. The model does not mention years of experience.
