MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories.
V V V V V V V V V V
Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:
V V V V V V V V V V V
1 Psychological needs V
2 A maximal level of wellness
V V V V
3 Health maintenance and restoration V V V
4 Interpersonal interactions with the client V V V V
ANS: 3 V
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
V V V V V V V V V V V
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her
V V V V V V V V V V V
clients, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
V V V V V V V
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
wellness.
V
Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
interpersonal interactions.

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

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