Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action
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
ANS: 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 ANS: 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.

immediate impact on improving patients health?
1)
Providing a clean environment
2)

Improving nursing education
3)
Changing the delivery of care in hospitals
4)
Establishing nursing as a distinct
profession ANS: 1
Improved sanitation (a clean environment) greatly and immediately reduced the rate
of infection and mortality in hospitals. The other responses are all activities of
Florence Nightingale that improved healthcare or nursing, but the impact is long range
, not immediate.

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 ANS: 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.

5. Which statement pertaining to Benners practice model for clinical
competence is true?
1)
Progression through the stages is constant, with most nurses reaching the proficient stage.
2)
Progression through the stages involves continual development of thinking and technical
skills.
3)
The nurse must have experience in many areas before being considered an expert.
4)
The nurses progress through the stages is determined by years of experience and skills.
ANS: 2
Movement through the stages is not constant. Benners model is based on integration of
.

knowledge, technical skill, and intuition in the development of clinical wisdom. The
model does not mention experience in many areas. The model does not mention years
of experience.

6. Which of the following best explains why it is difficult for the
profession to develop a definition of nursing?
1)
There are too many different and conflicting images of nurses.
2)
There are constant changes in healthcare and the activities of nurses.
3)
There is disagreement among the different nursing organizations.
4)
There are different education pathways and levels of practice
. ANS: 2
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.
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.
Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they are similar in
most ways. The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the defi
nition of nursing.

7. Nurses have the potential to be very influential in shaping healthcare
policy. Which of the following factors contributes most to nurses influence?
1)
Nurses are the largest health professional group.
2)
Nurses have a long history of serving the public.
3)
Nurses have achieved some independence from physicians in recent years.
4)
Political involvement has helped refute negative images portrayed in the media.
ANS: 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.
Serving the public, while positive, does not necessarily help nurses to be influential in
establishing health policy. Independence from physicians, although positive, does not
necessarily make nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy. Refuting negative
media, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing
healthcare policy.
