In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to

attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive data
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



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



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

ANS: A d g

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



level of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



home health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



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



gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



the organization and specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology,
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



or orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



nursing care and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



with the situation is an advanced beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature,
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.

dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg
