formal education, nursing was not identifiable as a distinct occupation until the 1854 Crimean
war. There, Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing introduced the world to the functional roles
of professional nursing and the need for formal education.

disciplines and emphasizes its unique functional characteristics. The four key concepts that form

a. caring, compassion, health promotion, and education.
b. respect, integrity, honesty, and advocacy.
c. person, environment, health, and nursing.
d. nursing, teaching, caring, and health promotion.

5. When admitting a patient to the medical-surgical unit, the professional nurse asks the patient about cultural
issues. The professional nurse is demonstrating use of the concept of
a. person.
b. environment.
c. health.
d. nursing.
CORRECT CHOICE:- B
Rationale :->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social
determinants that influence a patient’s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as the
recipient of
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health derives
from the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical, psychological,
sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health Organization
(WHO, 1946) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, social well-being, not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention
of illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people.

6. A young mother tells the professional nurse, “I’m worried because my son needs a blood
transfusion. I don’t know what to do, because blood transfusions cause AIDS.” Which central
nursing construct is represented in this situation?
a. Environment
b. Caring
c. Health
d. Person
CORRECT CHOICE:- D
Rationale :->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants
that
influence a patient’s health perceptions and behavior. Caring is not one of the four central
nursing constructs. The word health derives from the word whole. Health is a multidimensional
concept, having physical, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual
characteristics. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as “a state of
complete physical, mental, social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and
dying people. Person is defined as the recipient of nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social
and spiritual dimensions.

7. The professional nurse performs a dressing change using sterile technique. This is an
example of which pattern of knowledge?
a. Empirical
b. Personal
c. Aesthetic
d. Ethical
CORRECT CHOICE:- A
Rationale :->>>Empirical knowledge is the scientific rationale for skilled nursing interventions.
Personal ways of knowing allow the professional nurse to understand and treat each individual
as a unique person. Aesthetic ways of knowing allow the professional nurse to connect in
different and more meaningful ways. Ethical ways of knowing refer to the moral aspects of
nursing.
