/ fexpected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive data
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse analyzes
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

the
/f assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f




a. Novice /f

b. Proficient /f

c. Competent /f

d. Advanced /fbeginner /f


ANS: A /f /f




A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health)
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


is
/f an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation as a
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from
/f /f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization
/f /f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


and specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic
/f /f /f /f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


patients). This nurse is a
/f /f /f /f /f /f


competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


aspects or principles of nursing care.

/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

fluids. The nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


demonstrating?
/ f /f




a. Licensure /f

b. Autonomy /f

c. Certification /f

d. Accountability /f


ANS: B /f /f




Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of independent
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/ nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United States, the RN
f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN®. Beyond the NCLEX-RN®, the nurse may choose to work
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice. Accountability means that you are
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing care provided.

f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f / f


activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning or patient
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

/f and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning. As a patient advocate, you protect
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


your patient’s
/f human and legal rights and provide assistance in asserting these rights if the

need arises. As a caregiver, you help patients maintain and regain health, manage disease and
/f /f /f /f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


symptoms, and attain
/f a maximal level function and independence through the healing process.

nurse. However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory development. To
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


fulfill this desire, which program should the nurse attend?
