a. Novice

c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner
ANS: A 10/15/2016 Free Chapter 01: Nursing Today | Nursing Test Banks
http://boostgrade.info/free­chapter­01­nursing­today/ 3/16A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of experience
(e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is an example of a novice
nurse. A proᝬcient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation as a w hole, is able to assess an entire situation,
and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple previous exp eriences to a situation. A competent
nurse understands the organization and speciᝬc care required by the ty pe of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology,
or orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is abl e to anticipate nursing care and
establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experi ence with the situation is an advanced
beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful
aspects or principles of nursing care.

to notify the health care provider if the patient is not properly edu cated. Managers coordinate the activities of
members of the nursing staឤ in delivering nursing care, and cli nical nurse specialists are experts in a
specialized area of nursing practice in a variety of settings.
