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

N




ANS: A N

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




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




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




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




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




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




orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N




care and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N




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




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

demonstrating?
N




a. Licensure

N N N N N N N N N N N N




independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United
N N N N N N N N N N N N




States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN, the nurse
