TEST BANK For Craven & Hirnle's Fundamentals ofNursing: Concepts and Competencies for Practice, 10th
Edition by Christine Henshaw, Renee Rassilyer
Answer the following terms?
Socialization - ANSWER:a process that involves learning theory and skills and
internalizing an identity appropriate to a specific role. (pg 6)
Five levels of proficiency when acquiring and developing nursing skills -
ANSWER:Novice, Advanced Beginner, Competent, Proficient, and Expert. Differences
in each level reflect changes in three areas of skill performance. In the first area, the
nurse moves from relying on abstract principles to using concrete experiences. The
second area involves a change from seeing situations in parts to seeing them more
conceptually, or as a whole. Finally, in the third area, the nurse is no longer outside
the situation observing but is directly involved. This process takes 5 to 10 years after
graduation.
Florence Nightingale's Definition of Nursing - ANSWER:"the act of utilizing the
environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery."
ANA's definition of Nursing - ANSWER:"Nursing is the protection, promotion, and
optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of
suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in
the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations."
Common Themes in Nursing - ANSWER:Holism, caring, teaching, advocacy, and
supporting, promoting, maintaining, and restoring health are all components of
nursing practice. Nursing care involves creativity, sensitivity, and applications based
on scientific rationales. All of these components are essential to the practice, but
nurses should not limit themselves to these themes.
Practical Nursing Programs - ANSWER:1 year programs that prepare candidates to
perform technical skills under the supervision of registered nurses (RNs). Students
successfully completing the program requirements may sit for the licensure
examination given by the state board of nursing to become a licensed practical nurse
(LPN) or licensed vocational nurse. LPNs differ from RNs in two areas: educational
preparation and scope of practice.
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program - ANSWER:Initially developed in the 1950s
in response to a nursing shortage. Students pursuing this degree attend a community
or junior college for 2 years or more, receiving college credit for all courses and
, clinical experiences in nursing. As providers of nursing care, ADNs use the nursing
process to formulate and maintain individualized patient plans of care. They also
teach patients who need information or suport to maintain health.
Nurse Practitioner **** - ANSWER:A nurse with advanced education who has
graduated from an NP program. NPs function with more independence and
autonomy than other nurses and are highly skilled at doing nursing assessments,
performing physical examinations, counseling, teaching, and treating health
problems.
Clinical Nurse Specialist **** - ANSWER:Has advanced experience and expertise in a
specialized area of practice such as gerontology, pediatrics, critical care, or
pulmonary disease. Works in various settings, depending on his or her specialty.

Nurse Midwife **** - ANSWER:Has advanced education in nursing and midwifery
and, in the United States, is certified by the American College of Nurse Midwives.
These types of nurses provide independent care for women during normal
pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Nurse midwives also may perform routine
Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and breast examinations and assist patients with family
planning.
Nurse Anesthetist **** - ANSWER:Provides general anesthesia for patients
undergoing surgery.
Nurse Researcher **** - ANSWER:This person is responsible for the continued
development and refinement of nursing knowledge and practice through the
investigation of nursing problems.
Nurse Educator **** - ANSWER:Role can be developed in many settings, including
schools of nursing and hospital staff development departments.
ANA's (American Nurses Association) Two Lists of Standards **** -
ANSWER:Nursing's professional organization in the United States. It is important
because it sets the standards of practice for nurses (ANA, 2010) and makes decisions
about the functions, activities, and goals of the nursing profession. The organization
is a voice for nurses because it acts on issues and wishes expressed by its
membership. ANA created the standards of practice: Standards of care and
standards of professional performance.
Standards of Care (Nursing Process - 6 items) - ANSWER:Assessment, Diagnosis,
Outcome Identification, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation. (Outcome
