MULTIPLE CHOICE g7
1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories in clinical
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
practice. The students would be correct if they chose which theoryto prioritize patient care?
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
a. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory g7 g7
b. Paul‘s Critical-Thinking Theory g7 g7
c. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs g7 g7 g7
d. Rosenstock‘s Health Belief Model g7 g7 g7
ANS: C g7
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
each person‘s physical and mental health. The nurse‘s understanding of these factors helps
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the patient‘s needs and values to prioritize
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
care. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
individuals‘ interactingand learningabout their world. Nurses use concepts of developmental
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their lives.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
Rosenstock (1974) developed thepsychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
behaviors. This model is especially useful to nurses as they educate patients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
student would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
a. Theimbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity for
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
health. g7
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and patient.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
c. Thenurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energyfields. g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
ANS: A g7
Florence Nightingale‘s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean air,
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
environment decreases the capacityfor health and does not allow for conservation of energy.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse‘s role as
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
(working with the person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
(1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
their environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

a. Dorothea Dix g7

Clara Barton practiced nursing in the Civil War and established the American Red Cross.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
DorotheaDix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which was a forerunner of the Army
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
Nurse Corps. Linda Richards was America‘s first trained nurse, graduating from Boston‘s
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
Women‘s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee, superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps,
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
was awarded the Navy Cross in 1918.

g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
education of professional nurses with outcomes for students to meet. The National League for

8. The nurse is caring for a patient who refuses two units of packed red blood cells. When the
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
nurse notifies the health care provider of the patient’s decision, the nurse is acting in which
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
role?
g7
a. Manager
b. Change agent g7
c. Advocate
d. Educator
ANS: C g7
As the patient’s advocate, the nurse interprets information and provides the necessary
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
education. The nurse then accepts and respects the patient’s decisions even if they are
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
different from the nurse’s own beliefs. The nurse supports the patient’s wishes and
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
communicates them to other health care providers. A nurse manages all of the activities and
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
treatments for patients. In the role of change agent, the nurse works with patients to address
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
their health concerns and with staff members to address change in an organization or within a
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
community. The nurse ensures that the patient receives sufficient information on which to
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
base consent for care and related treatment. Education becomes a major focus of discharge
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
planning so that patients will be prepared to handle their own needs at home.

9. The nursing student develops a plan of care based on a recently published article describing
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
the effects of bed rest on a patient’s calcium blood levels. When creating the plan of care, the
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
nursing student has the obligation to consider which action?
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
a. Criticallyappraise the evidence and determine validity. g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
b. Ensure that the plan of care does not alter current practice.
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
c. Change the process even when there is no problem identified. g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
d. Maintain the plan of care regardless of initial outcome. g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
ANS: A g7
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an integration of the best-available research evidence with g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
clinical judgment about a specific patient situation. The nurse assesses current and past
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
research, clinical guidelines, and other resources to identifyrelevant literature. The application of
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
EBP includes critically appraising the evidence to assess its validity, designing a change for
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
practice, assessing the need for change and identifying a problem, and integrating and
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
maintaining change while monitoring process and outcomes by reevaluating the application of
g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7 g7
evidence and assessing areas for improvement.
