MULTIPLE CHOICE v
1. Which of the following is an example of an illness prevention activity?
v v v v v v v v v v v
a) Encouraging the use of a food diary v v v v v v
b) Joining a cancer support group v v v v
c) Administering immunization for HPV v v v
d) Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet v v v v v v
ANS: C v
Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although cancer is
v v v v v v v v v v v v
a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease;
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
therefore, it would be treatment and not disease prevention. Illness prevention activities focus
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so the teaching
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
cannot prevent diabetes.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v
licensure renewal?
v v
a) American Nurses Association v v
b) National League for Nursing v v v
c) Sigma Theta Tau v v
d) State Board of Nursing v v v
ANS: D v
Continuing education is a professional strategy designed to ensure that nurses remain current
v v v v v v v v v v v v
in their clinical knowledge. Many states require nurses to engage in a certain number of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
continuing-education requirements to renew their license. The knowledge gained in the
v v v v v v v v v v v
nursing curriculum is sufficient for nursing school graduates to obtain their initial license.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Requirements for renewal of a nurse‘s license can be found in the state‘s nurse practice act
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
(state board of nursing).

3. An experienced seasoned nurse uses her knowledge of patient medical conditions and
v v v v v v v v v v v
vintuition to identify patient problems. She is often the resource for other nurses on the unit.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vWhat stage of proficiency has this nurse achieved?
v v v v v v v
a) Novice
, b) Advanced beginner v
c) Competent
d) Expert
ANS: D v
The nurse who has reached the expert stage of proficiency has a deep understanding of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
clinical situation based on knowledge and experience. The nurse often senses a potential
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
problem in the absence of classic signs and symptoms. The novice nurse is inexperienced and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
relies on rules and processes. The advanced beginner focuses on aspects of a situation and is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
unable to see the comprehensive perspective. A nurse functioning at the competent level is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
able to prioritize to meet the patient needs but does not fully grasp the total situation.

v v v v v v v v v v v

provide safe care.
v v v
d) Standards of practice differ among registered nurses because the roles are different
v v v v v v v v v v v
based on the population they serve.
v v v v v v
ANS: C v
Standards of practice are authoritative statements of the duties that all registered nurses,
v v v v v v v v v v v v
regardless of role, population, or specialty, are expected to perform competently. Standards are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
derived from several sources, including professional organizations and healthcare facilities‘
