3. Nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement in 1893 were among the first
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
nurses to demonstrate autonomy in practice. This was because those nurses
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
a. Had no ability to work in the hospital setting.
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
b. Were required to use critical thinking skills.
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
c. Focused solely on healing the very ill. y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
d. Planned their care around research findings. y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
ANS: B y7
In 1893, nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement were some of the first to
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 demonstrate autonomy in practice because they encountered situations that required quick
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 and innovative problem solving and critical thinking, and provided therapies aimed at
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 maintaining wellness, as well as curing the ill. Nursing hospitals expanded in the late
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 nineteenth century and were major providers of nursing care. Not until the early twentieth
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 century was there a movement toward a scientific, research-based body of nursing
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 knowledge.
4. In 1923, the Goldmark Report was an important study that
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
a. Formed formal nurse midwifery programs. y7 y7 y7 y7
b. Established the Center for Ethics and Human Rights. y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
c. Revised the ANA code of ethics. y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
d. Led to the development of the Yale School of Nursing.
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
ANS: D y7
In 1923, the Goldmark Report identified the need for increased financial support for
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 university- based schools of nursing. As a result, the Yale School of Nursing was
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
developed. Graduate nurse midwifery programs did not come into existence until the
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 1940s, and the Center for Ethics and Human Rights was founded in 1990. The ANA code
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 of ethics was published in 1985 and was last updated in 2001.

5. The major difference between a baccalaureate degree nursing program and an
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
associates degree nursing program is that the baccalaureate program includes studies

a. Basic sciences and theoretical courses.
y7 y7 y7 y7
b. Social sciences and humanities. y7 y7 y7
c. Theoretical and clinical courses. y7 y7 y7
d. Basic sciences and clinical courses.
y7 y7 y7 y7
ANS: B y7
Both associates degree programs and baccalaureate programs focus on basic sciences and
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 on theoretical and clinical courses. Baccalaureate programs, however, also focus on courses
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 in the social sciences, arts, and humanities to support nursing theory.
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as an advanced
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 practice nurse and has earned her masters degree as a family nurse practitioner.
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 However, she seems unfulfilled and has a strong desire to do research. To fulfill her
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 desire, the nurse most likely would apply to attend a program that would lead to a
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc).
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD). y7 y7 y7 y7
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP).
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN).
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
ANS: B y7
PhD programs emphasize basic research and theory and are research oriented. Professional
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 doctoral programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 to clinical nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 such as nurse practitioners.

7. The nurse is caring for her patients and is focused on managing their care as opposed to
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
y7 managing and performing skills. This nurse demonstrates which level of proficiency
y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7 y7
according to Benner?
y7 y7 y7
a. Novice
b. Competent
