(The Evolution of Nursing)
Question Stem: A licensed practical nurse (LPN) educator is
updating a course to reflect the historical shift in nursing
education. Which curricular change best reflects that shift and
improves patient safety?
A. Increase the hours spent on hospital-based apprenticeship
clinical time and reduce classroom theory.
B. Replace standardized written testing with only clinical
demonstration evaluations.
C. Integrate evidence-based practice principles and simulation-
based clinical scenarios into coursework.
D. Emphasize memorization of historical nursing figures and
,dates to foster professional identity.
Correct Answer: C
Rationales:
• Correct (C): Integrating evidence-based practice and
simulation reflects the historical movement from
apprenticeship toward formalized, theory-practice
integration that improves clinical judgment and patient
safety. This aligns with modern educational priorities in
Cooper & Gosnell.
• A: Increasing apprenticeship time alone returns to older
models and may not ensure standardized competencies or
evidence-based care.
• B: Omitting standardized written assessment risks gaps in
knowledge assessment and reduces objective
measurement of competency.
• D: While professional identity is important, memorization
of historical facts alone doesn't enhance clinical decision-
making or safety.
Teaching Point: Combine evidence-based theory with
simulation to strengthen clinical judgment and safety.

,Reference: Ch. 1 — Care of the Sick During Early Civilization
Question Stem: While teaching a class on the origins of nursing
care, an LPN asks how early caregiving practices still influence
modern nursing roles. Which statement best demonstrates
accurate analysis?
A. Early caregiving relied on standardized protocols similar to
modern clinical pathways.
B. Early emphasis on family- and community-based care
parallels today's focus on holistic, patient-centered care.
C. Early civilization limited nursing roles to medications
administration only.
D. Ancient religious caregiving removed the need for
documentation and accountability.
Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct (B): Early caregiving often centered in families and
communities; that historical focus informs contemporary
holistic and culturally sensitive approaches to patient-
centered care.
• A: Standardized protocols are a modern development;
early care was individualized and not protocol-driven.
• C: Early caretaking was broad (comfort, hygiene, food) not
limited to medication administration.
• D: While early religious care emphasized spiritual needs,
modern nursing requires documentation and
accountability—opposite of that assertion.
, Teaching Point: Historical family-centered care underpins
modern holistic, culturally competent nursing.

Reference: Ch. 1 — Changes in Nursing During the 20th Century
Question Stem: A long-term care director is prioritizing
competencies for newly hired LPNs based on 20th-century
changes in nursing. Which competency should be highest
priority for safe, contemporary practice?
A. Strict obedience to physician orders without questioning.
B. Basic infection control, medication calculation, and
delegation skills.
C. Focus exclusively on institutional routines and minimizing
family involvement.
D. Memorization of physician rounding schedules.
Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct (B): The 20th century brought formalized training,
scientific practice, and regulatory standards; infection
control, medication math, and safe delegation are core
competencies that reflect those changes and support
safety.
