, ANS: A hg



A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous le
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



vel of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in hom
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



e health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situati
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



on as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organiz
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



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



patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and est
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



ablish long- hg



range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identif
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



y meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.
