c. Clara |Barton
d. Lillian |Wald
ANS: | A
Nightingale |was |the |first |practicing |nurse |epidemiologist. |Her |statistical |analyses |connected
|poor |sanitation |with |cholera |and |dysentery. |Mary |Nutting, |Clara |Barton, |and |Lillian |Wald |came
|after |Nightingale, |each |contributing |to |the |nursing |profession |in |her |own |way. |Mary |Nutting
|was |instrumental |in |moving |nursing |education |into |universities. |Clara |Barton |founded |the
|American |Red |Cross. |Lillian |Wald |helped |open |the |Henry |Street |Settlement.

a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning

ANS: | C
In |planning, |the |registered |nurse |develops |a |plan |that |prescribes |strategies |and |alternatives |to
|attain |expected |outcomes. |During |assessment, |the |registered |nurse |collects |comprehensive |data
|pertinent |to |the |patient’s |health |and/or |the |situation. |In |diagnosis, |the |registered |nurse |analyzes
|the |assessment |data |to |determine |the |diagnoses |or |issues. |During |implementation, |the |registered

|of |experience |(e.g., |an |experienced |operating |room |nurse |chooses |to |now |practice |in |home
|health) |is |an |example |of |a |novice |nurse. |A |proficient |nurse |perceives |a |patient’s |clinical |situation
|as |a |whole, |is |able |to |assess |an |entire |situation, |and |can |readily |transfer |knowledge |gained |from
|multiple |previous |experiences |to |a |situation. |A |competent |nurse |understands |the |organization
|and |specific |care |required |by |the |type |of |patients |(e.g., |surgical, |oncology, |or |orthopedic
|patients). |This |nurse |is |a |competent |practitioner |who |is |able |to |anticipate |nursing |care |and
|establish |long-range |goals. |A |nurse |who |has |had |some |level |of |experience |with |the |situation |is
|an |advanced |beginner. |This |experience |may |only |be |observational |in |nature, |but |the |nurse |is
|able |to |identify |meaningful |aspects |or |principles |of |nursing |care.

|independent |nursing |interventions |without |medical |orders. |To |obtain |licensure |in |the |United
|States, |the |RN |candidate |must |pass |the |NCLEX-RN. |Beyond |the |NCLEX-RN, |the |nurse
|may |choose |to |work |toward |certification |in |a |specific |area |of |nursing |practice. |Accountability

|activities, |demonstrate |procedures |such |as |self-care |activities, |reinforce |learning |or |patient
|behavior, |and |evaluate |the |patient’s |progress |in |learning. |As |a |patient |advocate, |you |protect |your
|patient’s |human |and |legal |rights |and |provide |assistance |in |asserting |these |rights |if |the |need
|arises. |As |a |caregiver, | you |help |patients |maintain |and |regain |health, |manage |disease |and
