,As a patient advocate, the nurse protects the patient’s human and legal rights, including the right
of the patient to understand procedures before signing permits. Although nurses can be
educators, it is the responsibility of the surgeon to provide education for the patient in
preparation for surgery, and it is the nurse’s responsibility to notify the health care provider if the
patient is not properly educated. Managers coordinate the activities of members of the nursing
staff in delivering nursing care, and clinical nurse specialists are experts in a specialized area of
nursing practice in a variety of settings.

Association. Which type of education did the nurse receive?
Graduate education

Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by universities,

health care institutions. After obtaining a baccalaureate degree in nursing, you can pursue
graduate education leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in any number of graduate fields,
including nursing. Inservice education programs are instruction or training provided by a health
care facility or institution. Registered nurse education is the education preparation for an
individual intending to be an RN.

The overall goals of Healthy People 2020 are to increase life expectancy and quality of life and
eliminate health disparities through an improved delivery of health care services. It does not
focus on reducing health care costs, providing services close to where patients live, or isolating
patients to prevent the spread of disease.
Question 5
A nurse is providing screening at a health fair. Which finding indicates a person may be more
likely to develop health problems?
One who is pregnant
One who has excessive risks
One who has unlimited access to health care
One who uses nontraditional healing practices
Vulnerable populations are the patients who are more likely to develop health problems as a
result of excess risks or limits in access to health care services or who are dependent on others
for care. Pregnancy is not a cause of vulnerability, except in cases where the mother is an
adolescent, is addicted to drugs, or is at high risk for other reasons. A person who has unlimited
access to health care is not vulnerable. Frequently, the immigrant population practices
nontraditional healing practices. Many of these healing practices are effective and complement
traditional therapies.
IncorrectQuestion 6

Integrate spiritual treatments.
Join physical care with a vegan diet.
Incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection.
