1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories. Florence N
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


ightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:

CORRECT ANSWER: l/ 3

Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in order to remain
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


free of disease or to recover from disease.
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/




Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients, it is not
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative processes by ma
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


nipulating the clients environment. l/ l/ l/




Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for in a wa
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


y to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of wellness.
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/




Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted with her
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l


clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon interpersonal interactions.

CORRECT ANSWER: l/ 1

Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice Act that reg
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


ulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act is necess
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


ary to provide safe and legal nursing care. Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


to the profession itself. Although the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional a
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


dvancement, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state.
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/


Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importance
l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/ l/
