dedicated to care of the sick and later in the home by female caregivers with no formal

There, Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing introduced the world to the functional roles of
professional nursing and the need for formal education.

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

5. When admitting a client to the medical-surgical unit, the nurse asks the client about cultural
issues. The nurse is demonstrating use of the concept of
a. person.
b. environment.
c. health.
d. nursing.
ANS: B
The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants that
influence a client’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.

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
ANS: D
The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants that
influence a client’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 nurse performs a dressing change using sterile technique. This is an example of which
pattern of knowledge?
a. Empirical
b. Personal
c. Aesthetic

ANS: A
Empirical knowledge is the scientific rationale for skilled nursing interventions. Personal ways
of knowing allow the nurse to understand and treat each individual as a unique person. Aesthetic
ways of knowing allow the nurse to connect in different and more meaningful ways. Ethical
ways of knowing refer to the moral aspects of nursing.
