1. What is one of the broad goals within nursing?
A. To provide cost effective care
B. To form broad nursing diagnoses
C. To promote self-care
D. To treat human responses
ST
ANS: D
Feedback: Four broad goals are within nursing: (1) to promote health (state of optimal
functioning or well-being with physical, social, and mental components); (2) to prevent
illness; (3) to treat human responses to health or illness; and (4) to advocate for
UV
individuals, families, communities, and populations. The other options listed are not
broad goals. Nursing, focuses on promoting health; while cost-effective care is strived
for, is not a part of the broad goal, therefore, this is not a broad goal within nursing.
Nursing looks to develop specific nursing diagnoses, not broad. Promoting self-care is
important, but does not correctly answer the question.
