Chapter 1. Nursing Past & Present
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which 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
ANS: 3
Chapter number and title: 1, Nursing Past & Present
Chapter learning objective: Define nursing in your own words.
Chapter page reference: p. 7
Heading: Historical Context of Nursing

Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
Cognitive level: Comprehension [Understanding]
Concept: Professionalism
Difficulty: Easy
W W W . T B S M . W S
Feedback
1 The physician's handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence
on nursing.
2 Although there has been a 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.
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 are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick
and injured at the battle site.
4 Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape
nursing.
PTS: 1 CON: Professionalism

1) Encouraging the use of a food diary

Cognitive level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Health Promotion
Difficulty: Moderate
Feedback
1 Illness-prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is
a health-promotion activity.
2 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.
3 Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention.
4 Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient
already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.
PTS: 1 CON: Health Promotion

Feedback
1 Improved sanitation (a clean environment) greatly and immediately reduced the
rate of infection and mortality in hospitals.
2 This is an activity of Florence Nightingale that improved healthcare or nursing,
but the impact is long range, not immediate.
3 This is an activity of Florence Nightingale that improved healthcare or nursing,
but the impact is long range, not immediate.

Heading: Nursing Today: Full-Spectrum Nursing
Integrated Processes: Nursing Process
Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
Cognitive level: Analysis [Analyzing]
Concept: Patient-Centered Care
Difficulty: Difficult
Feedback
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.
2 Providing hands-on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical
thinking, and problem-solving are essential to do it successfully.
3 Carrying out physician orders is a small part of a nurse’s role; it, too, requires
nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation.
W W W . T B S M . W S
4 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.
PTS: 1 CON: Patient-Centered Care

intuition in the development of clinical wisdom.

Heading: How Is Nursing Defined?
Integrated Processes: Caring
Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
Cognitive level: Analysis [Analyzing]
W W W . T B S M . W S
Concept: Professionalism
Difficulty: Difficult
Feedback
1 The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a
definition; they may also make it more difficult but not to the extent that
constant change does.
2 Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come changes in where, how, and
what nursing care is delivered. Constant changes make it difficult to develop a
definition.
3 Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they are
similar in most ways.
4 The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the definition of
nursing.
PTS: 1 CON: Professionalism

Cognitive level: Comprehension [Understanding]
Concept: Health Care System
Difficulty: Easy
Feedback
1 Nurses are trusted professionals and the largest health professional group. As
such, they have political power to effect changes. If nursing were a small group,
there would be little potential for power in shaping policies, even if all the other
answers were true.
2 Serving the public, although positive, does not necessarily help nurses to be
influential in establishing health policy.
3 Independence from physicians, although positive, does not necessarily make
nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy.
4 Refuting negative media, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses
influential in establishing healthcare policy.
