supervision |of |professional |nurses. |Accreditation |of |the |school |does |not |confer |the |right |to |
accept |delegation. |Nursing |shortages |cannot |dictate |the |acceptability |of |delegation.

Mary |Mahoney
Wald |organized |the |first |visiting |nurse |service |for |the |poor. |Linda |Richards |was |America's |first |

first |African-American |graduate |nurse. |Gamp |and |Prigg |were |Dickens |characters |who |

A |patient |tells |the |nursing |student, |"I |keep |thinking |of |the |mistake |I |made |that |led |to |the |
accident. |I |can't |get |it |out |of |my |mind. |Now |my |son |has |a |broken |leg." |The |nursing |student |

Habitual |thinking |involves |routines |performed |as |if |on |automatic |pilot. |Directed |thinking |is |
purposeful |and |outcome |oriented.

rationale |for |using |team |planning |sessions.
A |nurse |is |performing |routine |vital |signs |on |patients. |The |nurse |has |obtained |vital |signs |many |
times |before |and |is |able |to |do |so |without |much |conscious |thought. |This |is |an |example |of
- |directed |thinking.
- |negative |thinking.
- |ruminative |thinking.
- |nonfocused |thinking. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-nonfocused |thinking.
Directed |thinking |is |purposeful |and |outcome |oriented. |Negative |thinking |occurs |when |the |
mind |is |stuck |on |negative |thoughts |and |blocks |worthwhile |thinking. |Ruminative |thinking |
occurs |when |the |same |situation |or |scene |is |replayed |in |the |mind |over |and |over, |without |
reaching |an |outcome. |Nonfocused |thinking |occurs |when |the |brain |is |engaged |out |of |habit, |
without |much |conscious |thought.
