Multiple Choice
Identify The Choice That Best Completes The Statement Or Answers The Question.
1. What Is The Most Influential Factor That Has Shaped The Nursing
Profession? 1)
Physicians Need For Handmaidens
2)
Societal Need For Healthcare Outside The
Home 3)
Military Demand For Nurses In The Field 4)
Germ Theory Influence On Sanitation
ANSWER: 3
Throughout The Centuries, Stability Of The Government Has Been Related To The Success Of
The Military To Protect Or Extend Its Domain. As The Survival And Well-Being Of Soldiers Is
Critical, Nurses Provided Healthcare To The Sick And Injured At The Battle Site. The Physicians
Handmaiden Was/Is A Nursing Stereotype Rather Than An Influence On Nursing. Although
There Has Been Need For Healthcare Outside The Home Throughout History, This Has More
Influence On The Development Of Hospitals Than On Nursing; This Need Provided One More
Setting For Nursing Work. Germ Theory And Sanitation Helped To Improve Healthcare But Did
Not Shape Nursing.

2. Which Of The Following Is An Example Of An Illness Prevention Activity? Select
All That Apply.
1)
Encouraging The Use Of A Food Diary
2)
Joining A Cancer Support Group
3)
Administering Immunization For HPV 4)
Teaching A Diabetic Patient About His Diet
ANSWER: 3
Administering Immunization For HPV Is An Example Of Illness Prevention. Although Cancer Is A
Disease, It Is Assumed That A Person Joining A Support Group Would Already Have The Disease;
Therefore, This Is Not Disease Prevention But Treatment. Illness-Prevention Activities Focus On
Avoiding A Specific Disease. A Food Diary Is A Health-Promotion Activity. Teaching A Diabetic
Patient About Diet Is A Treatment For Diabetes; The Patient Already Has Diabetes, So It
Cannot Prevent Diabetes.

4. All Of The Following Are Aspects Of The Full-Spectrum Nursing Role. Which One
Is Essential For The Nurse To Do In Order To Successfully Carry Out All The Others?
1)
Thinking And Reasoning About The Clients Care
2)
Providing Hands-On Client Care
3)
Carrying Out Physician Orders
4)
Delegating To Assistive Personnel
ANSWER: 1
A Substantial Portion Of The Nursing Role Involves Using Clinical Judgment, Critical
Thinking, And Problem Solving, Which Directly Affect The Care The Client Will Actually
Receive. Providing Hands-On Care Is Important; However, Clinical Judgment, Critical
Thinking, And Problem Solving Are Essential To Do It Successfully. Carrying Out Physician
Orders Is A Small Part Of A Nurses Role; It, Too, Requires Nursing Assessment, Planning,
Intervention, And Evaluation. Many Simple Nursing Tasks Are Being Delegated To Nursing
Assistive Personnel; Delegation Requires Careful Analysis Of Patient Status And The
Appropriateness Of Support Personnel To Deliver Care. Another Way To Analyze This
Question Is That None Of The Options Of Providing Hands-On Care, Carrying Out Physician
Orders, And Delegating To Assistive Personnel Is Required For The Nurse To Think And
Reason About A Clients Care; So The Answer Must Be 1.
