1 Psychological needs h
2 A maximal level of wellness
h h h h
3 Health maintenance and restoration h h h

h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
h h h h h h h h h h h
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients,
h h h h h h h h h h h h
it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
processes by manipulating the clients environment.
h h h h h h
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
wellness.

Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted

interactions.

5. A nurse moves from Seattle to Boston and begins working in a hospital. The most important
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
1 Massachusetts Nurse Practice Act h h h
2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston h h h h h
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital h h h h h h h
4 Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in h h h h h h h
Massachusetts
h
ANS: 1 h
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.
h h h h h h h h h h h
Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather to the profession itself. Although
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional advancement, it is not
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state. Knowledge of the Nurse
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importance.

h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
everything possible to return you to the optimum level of self-care possible. In coordinating an
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
approach to best meet the needs of this client, the nurse is fulfilling the role of:
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
1 Manager
2 Educator
3 Counselor
4 Communicator
ANS: 1 h
The nurse, in caring for this client, will coordinate the activities of other members of the health care
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
team. This client may require the assistance of a nursing assistant to provide personal care until the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
client is less fatigued. A nutritionist may be necessary for diet evaluation, planning, and teaching. A
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
nurse may provide education on the dialysis therapy and perform the skill necessary until the client
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
is able to do so independently.
