In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain

expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive data
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky k y
pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse analyzes the
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the registered nurse
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
implements (carries out) the identified plan.

ANS: A k y
, A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation as a whole, is
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and specific
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
or principles of nursing care.

4. A nurse assesses a patient’s fluid status and decides that the patient needs to drink more fluids. The
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
ky nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse demonstrating?
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
a. Licensure
b. Autonomy
c. Certification
d. Accountability
ANS: B k y
Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of independent
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United States, the RN
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN, the nurse may choose to work
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice. Accountability means that you are
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing care provided.

ANS: B k y
, A manager coordinates the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care and
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
has personnel, policy, and budgetary responsibility for a specific nursing unit or facility. As an
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
educator, you explain concepts and facts about health, describe the reason for routine care
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning or patient
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning. As a patient advocate, you protect your
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
patient’s human and legal rights and provide assistance in asserting these rights if the need arises. As
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
a caregiver, you help patients maintain and regain health, manage disease and symptoms, and
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
attain a maximal level function and independence through the healing process.

6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced practice nurse.
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory development. To fulfill this
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
desire, which program should the nurse attend?
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc) ky ky ky ky ky
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) ky ky ky ky
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) ky ky ky ky ky

Some doctoral programs prepare nurses for more rigorous research and theory development and
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
award the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing. Professional doctoral
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings to clinical
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
practitioners.

ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
a. Graduateeducation ky
b. Inserviceeducation ky
c. Continuingeducation ky

Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by universities, ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
hospitals, state nurses associations, professional nursing organizations, and educational and health
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
care institutions. After obtaining a baccalaureate degree in nursing, you can pursue graduate
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
education leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in any number of graduate fields, including
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
nursing. Inservice education programs are instruction or training provided by a health care facility
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
or institution. Registered nurse education is the education preparation for an individual intending
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
to be an RN.

8. A nurse identifies gaps between local and best practices. Which Quality and Safety Education for
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
ky Nurses (QSEN) competency is the nurse demonstrating?
ky ky ky ky ky ky
a. Safety
b. Patient-centeredcare ky
c. Qualityimprovement ky
d. Teamwork and collaboration ky ky
ANS: C k y
Quality improvement identifies gaps between local and best practices. Safety minimizes risk of
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance.
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
Patient-centered care recognizes the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner in
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient’s preferences, values,
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
and needs. Teamwork and collaboration allows effective functioning within nursing and

a. Lateralviolence and intrapersonal conflict ky ky ky ky
b. Burnout and secondarytraumatic stress ky ky ky ky
c. Short-term grief and single stressor ky ky ky ky
d. Physical and mental exhaustion ky ky ky
ANS: B k y
Compassion fatigue is a term used to describe a state of burnout and secondary traumatic stress. ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
Compassion fatigue may contribute to what is described as lateral violence
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
(nurse-nurse interactions, not intrapersonal). Frequent, intense, or prolonged exposure to grief and ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
loss places nurses at risk for developing compassion fatigue. Stressors, not a single stressor,
ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky ky
contribute to compassion fatigue. Physical and mental exhaustion describes burnout only.
