nursing practice is the nurse following?
a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning
d. Implementation
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 nurse implements (carries out) the identified plan.

3. An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level of
proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?
a. Novice
b. Proficient
c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner
ANS: A
,2
A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous
level 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.

The nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse
demonstrating?
a. Licensure
b. Autonomy
c. Certification
d. Accountability
ANS: B
Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
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
means that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing
care provided.

care and has personnel, policy, and budgetary responsibility for a specific nursing unit or
facility. As an educator, you explain concepts and facts about health, describe the reason for
routine care 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 symptoms, and attain a maximal level function and independence through the healing
process.

nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse

for Nurses (QSEN) competency is the nurse demonstrating?
a. Safety
b. Patient-centered care
c. Quality improvement
d. Teamwork and collaboration

and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for
patient’s preferences, values, and needs. Teamwork and collaboration allows effective
functioning within nursing and interprofessional teams, fostering open communication,
mutual respect, and shared decision making.

Compassion fatigue is a term used to describe a state of burnout and secondary traumatic
stress. Compassion fatigue may contribute to what is described as lateral violence

stressor, contribute to compassion fatigue. Physical and mental exhaustion describes burnout
only.
