5. A nurse moves from Seattle to Boston and begins working in a hospital. The most important
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
t t t t t t t t t t t t t

2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston t t t t t
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital t t t t t t t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse

Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state. Knowledge of the Nurse

Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importance.

everything possible to return you to the optimum level of self-care possible. In coordinating an

approach to best meet the needs of this client, the nurse is fulfilling the role of:
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
1 Manager
2 Educator
3 Counselor
4 Communicator
ANS: 1 t
The nurse, in caring for this client, will coordinate the activities of other members of the health care
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
team. This client may require the assistance of a nursing assistant to provide personal care until the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
client is less fatigued. A nutritionist may be necessary for diet evaluation, planning, and teaching. A
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
