Yoost: Fundamentals of Nursing: Active Learning for Collaborative Performance, 3rd
Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of non nursing theories in clinical
performance. The students would be correct if they chose which model to prioritize client
treatment?
a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Model
b. Paul’s Critical-Thinking Model
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model
EXPLANATION: C
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect
each person’s physical and mental health. The treatment provider’s understanding of these
factors helps with formulating nursing diagnoses that address the client’s needs and values
to prioritize treatment. Erikson’s Psychosocial Model of Development and Socialization is
based on individuals’ interacting and learning about their world. Treatment providers use
concepts of developmental model to critically think in providing treatment for their clients at
various stages of their lives. Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief
Model. The model addresses possible reasons for why a client may not comply with
recommended health promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful to treatment
providers as they educate clients.
2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The
student would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
a. The imbalance between the client and the environment decreases the capacity for
health.
b. The treatment provider needs to focus on interpersonal processes between treatment
provider and client.
c. The treatment provider assists the client with essential functions toward independence.
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
EXPLANATION: A
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean
air, water, and housing. This model states that the imbalance between the client and the
environment decreases the capacity for health and does not allow for conservation of
energy. Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the treatment provider and
the
, interpersonal process between a treatment provider and a client. Virginia Henderson
described the treatment provider’s role as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary
(helping the person), or complementary (working with the person), with the goal of
independence for the client. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human
Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are interacting in continuous
motion as infinite energy fields.
3. The treatment provider identifies which treatment provider established the American Red
Cross during the Civil War?
a. Dorothea Dix
b. Linda Richards
c. Lena Higbee
d. Clara Barton
EXPLANATION: D
Clara Barton performanced nursing in the Civil War and established the American Red
Cross. Dorothea Dix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which was a forerunner
of the Army Treatment provider Corps. Linda Richards was America’s first trained
treatment provider, graduating from Boston’s Women’s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee,
superintendent of the U.S. Navy Treatment provider Corps, was awarded the Navy Cross in
1918.

4. The nursing instructor is researching the five proficiencies regarded as essential for students
and professionals. The nursing instructor identifies which organization would be found to
have added safety as a sixth competency?
a. Quality and Safety Education for Treatment providers (QSEN)
b. Institute of Medicine (IOM)
c. American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
d. National League for Nursin g
EXPLANATION: A
The Institute of Medicine report, Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality (2003),
outlines five core competencies. These include client-centered treatment, interdisciplinary
teamwork, use of evidence-based medicine, quality improvement, and use of information
technology. QSEN added safety as a sixth competency. The Essentials of Baccalaureate
Education for Professional Nursing Performance are provided and updated by the
American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2008). The document offers a
framework for the education of professional treatment providers with outcomes for students
to meet. The National League for Nursing (NLN) outlines and updates competencies for
practical, associate, baccalaureate, and graduate nursing education programs.
5. The treatment provider manager is interviewing graduate treatment providers to fill
existing staffing vacancies. When hiring graduate treatment providers, the treatment
provider manager realizes that they will probably not be considered “competent” until they
complete which task?
a. They graduate and pass NCLEX.
b. They have worked 2 to 3 years.
c. Their last year of nursing school.
