Chapter 1, The Professional Nurse
1. The nursing director attends a workshop and is presenting information on the ANA's
Nursing's Social Policy Statement (2015b). Which statement regarding the profession of
nursing is included in the publication?
a. Nurses are expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to
execute their professional duties.
b. Use public policy of current legislature to shape the future of the nursing
profession.
c. Use scientific knowledge to ration care to those individuals with noncomplex
diagnoses and simple treatment options.
d. Use assessment as the guide in order to treat the full range of human responses
within the physical environment.
ANS: A
Feedback: According to the ANA (2015b) Nursing's Social Policy Statement, nurses are
expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to execute their
professional duties. In return, nurses expect society to authorize practice autonomy, extend
self-governance, protect the title of RN and scope of practice, receive respect and fair
remuneration for services, be free to practice nursing to the full extent of educational
preparation, receive support to sustain the nursing profession, and be protected from
hazardous service activities. Shaping the future of nursing is a primary goal of the ANA and
all its efforts. Use of scientific knowledge and assessment are characteristics of the nursing
profession and are included in the nursing process.

work there for 2 years following graduation. The nurse has accepted and is in the first term
at the local college. If the nurse wants to work on critical and reflective thinking skills,
which activity should the nurse focus on developing?
a. Reading a chapter on “Care of the Cardiac Patient”
b. Speaking to the nurses on the clinical unit
c. Listening to family as they share the client's story
d. Writing a paper on nursing for the palliative client
ANS: D
Feedback: Writing requires nurses to use critical and reflective thinking. Speaking enables
the nurse to develop skills to communicate effectively verbally with clients as well as
colleagues. Listening enables thought organization. Reading stimulates the release of
neurotrophins, strengthening neural pathways.
