is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh




a. Novice

b. Proficient

bh ACCURATE ANSWER: bh




A
bh




A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients).
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify
bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh bh


meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.
