a. Novice
b. Proficient
c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner
CORRECT ANSWER: a
A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of
experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is
an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient's clinical situation as a whole, is
able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple
previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and specific
care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is
a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects
or principles of nursing care.
