1. Which nurse most likely kept records on sanitation techniques and the effects on
h h h h h h h h h h h h
health?
h
a. Florence Nightingale h
b. Mary Nutting h
c. Clara Barton h
d. Lillian Wald h
ANS: A h
Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses h h h h h h h h h
connected poor sanitation with cholera and dysentery. Mary Nutting, Clara
h h h h h h h h h h
Barton, and Lillian Wald came after Nightingale, each contributing to the nursing
h h h h h h h h h h h h
profession in her own way. Mary Nutting was instrumental in moving nursing education
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
into universities. Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. Lillian Wald helped

a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning
d. Implementation
ANS: C h
In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives
h h h h h h h h h h h h
hto attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects
h h h h h h h h h
comprehensive data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis,
h h h h h h h h h h h h
the registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
During implementation, the registered nurse implements (carries out) the identified plan.

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

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

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

6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
practice nurse. However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
development. To fulfill this desire, which program should the nurse attend?
h h h h h h h h h h h
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc) h h h h h
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) h h h h
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) h h h h h
d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN) h h h h h h h
ANS: B h
Some doctoral programs prepare nurses for more rigorous research and theory
h h h h h h h h h h
development and award the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing.
h h h h h h h h h h h
Professional doctoral programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply
h h h h h h h h h h h h
research findings to clinical nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners.

Nurses Association. Which type of education did the nurse receive?
h h h h h h h h h h
a. Graduate education h
b. Inservice education h
c. Continuing education h
d. Registered nurse education h h
ANS: C h
Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by h h h h h h h h
universities, hospitals, state nurses associations, professional nursing organizations, and
h h h h h h h h h
educational and health care institutions. After obtaining a baccalaureate degree in
h h h h h h h h h h h
nursing, you can pursue graduate education leading to a master’s or doctoral
h h h h h h h h h h h h
degree in any number of graduate fields, including nursing. Inservice education
h h h h h h h h h h h
programs are instruction or training provided by a health care facility or
h h h h h h h h h h h h
institution. Registered nurse education is the education preparation for an individual
h h h h h h h h h h h
intending to be an RN.
