Fundamentals of Nursing 11th Edition Potter Perry Test Bank
Chapter 1. Nursing Today
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories.
Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:
1 Psychological needs
2 A maximal level of wellness
3 Health maintenance and restoration
4 Interpersonal interactions with the client
ANS: 3
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in
order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her
clients, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys
reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared
for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
wellness.
Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she
interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon
interpersonal interactions.

5. A nurse moves from Seattle to Boston and begins working in a hospital. The most important
factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
1 Massachusetts Nurse Practice Act
2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital
4 Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in
Massachusetts
ANS: 1
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice
Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse
Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.
Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather to the profession itself.
Although the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional
advancement, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state.
Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher
importance.
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to remain current.

6. A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic renal failure. The nurse states, We will do
everything possible to return you to the optimum level of self-care possible. In coordinating an
approach to best meet the needs of this client, the nurse is fulfilling the role of:
1 Manager
2 Educator
3 Counselor
4 Communicator
ANS: 1
The nurse, in caring for this client, will coordinate the activities of other members of the health
care team. This client may require the assistance of a nursing assistant to provide personal care
until the client is less fatigued. A nutritionist may be necessary for diet evaluation, planning, and
teaching. A nurse may provide education on the dialysis therapy and perform the skill necessary
until the client is able to do so independently.
