characteristics, which criteria are consistent and standardized processes? (Select all
that apply.)

b. Licensing
c. Body of knowledge
d. Educational preparation
e. Altruism - Answer- Code of ethics
Licensing
Body of knowledge
Altruism

altruism. Because there are multiple paths of education for nursing and not a standard
entry into practice, this is one criterion of a profession that is not standard and
consistent.
Which specific aspect of a profession does the development of theories provide? -
Answer- Body of knowledge
Theories establish a specific nursing body of knowledge that is unique to the discipline,
which is one criterion of a profession.

A nurse makes a medication error, immediately assesses the patient, and reports the
error to the nurse manager and the primary care provider. Which characteristic of a
professional is the nurse demonstrating? - Answer- Accountability
The nurse is demonstrating accountability by taking responsibility for the error and
reporting it after an initial assessment of the patient. Criteria of a profession include
altruism (public service over personal gain), autonomy (independence), accountability,
and diversity; however, in this case, the nurse is demonstrating accountability. Although
collaboration is important for the health care team, it is not a criterion for a profession.
Which components are included in the American Nurses Association (ANA) standards?
(Select all that apply.) - Answer- Standards for professional performance
Standards of care
ANA standards have two parts: one is standards for professional performance, and the
other is standards of care. ANA has a separate document that is a code of ethics. Nurse
practice acts are a legal scope of practice.
Which core competency of advanced practice nursing is the Master of Science in
Nursing (MSN) nurse educator exhibiting when counseling a student in therapeutic
communication techniques? - Answer- Expert coaching
A nurse educator who is teaching and counseling students is practicing expert coaching
and guidance. A nurse educator with a master's degree practices the other
competencies of leadership and ethical decision making in other situations. Although a
nurse educator may also work as a nurse involved in direct patient care, this is not part
of the educator role.
