p p p p p p p p p p p
1 Psychological needs p
2 Amaximal level of wellness

3 Health maintenanceandrestoration p p p
4 Interpersonal interactions withtheclient p p p p

Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in order
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
p p p p p p p p p p
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients,
p p p p p p p p p p p p
it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
processes by manipulating the clients environment.

Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for in
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of wellness.

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

interactions.

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