new vital sign monitor. Which type of education did the nurse receive?
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz

vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



increase the knowledge, skills, and competencies of nurses and other health care professionals employed by the
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



institution. Some roles for RNs in nursing require advanced graduate degrees, such as a clinical nurse specialist or
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



nurse practitioner. There are various educational routes for becoming a registered nurse (RN), such as associate,
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



diploma, and baccalaureate. Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



universities, hospitals, state nurses associations, professional nursing organizations, and educational and health care
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



institutions.

a.Accountability

b.Autonomy

c.Licensure

d.Certification


ANS: B vz




Autonomy is essential to professional nursing and involves the initiation of independent nursing interventions
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



without medical orders. Accountability means that you are professionally and legally responsible for the type and
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



quality of nursing care provided. To obtain licensure in the United States, RN candidates must pass the NCLEX-
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



RN examination administered by the individual State Boards of Nursing to obtain a nursing license. Beyond the
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



NCLEX-RN, some nurses choose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice.

4.A registered nurse is required to participate in a simulation to learn how to triage patients who are arriving to the
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



hospital after exposure to an unknown gas. This is an example of a response to what type of influence on nursing?
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz




a.Workplace hazards vz



b.Nursing shortage vz



c.Professionalism
d.Emergency preparedness vz




ANS: D vz




Many health care agencies, schools, and communities have educational programs to prepare for nuclear, chemical,
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



or biological attack and other types of disasters. Nurses play an active role in emergency preparedness. Workplace
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



hazards include violence, harassment, and ergonomics. A person who acts professionally is conscientious in
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



actions, knowledgeable in the subject, and responsible to self and others. There is an ongoing global nursing
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



shortage, which results from insufficient qualified registered nurses (RNs) to fill vacant positions and the loss of
vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz vz



qualified RNs to other professions. vz vz vz vz
