Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the success of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
themilitary to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and well-being of soldiers is
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. The
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
physicians handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence on nursing.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
Although there has been need for healthcare outside the home throughout history, this has
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
more influence on the development of hospitals than on nursing; this need provided one
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
more setting for nursing work. Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
but did not shape nursing.

jj j
Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet jj jj jj jj jj jj
ANS: 3
j jj
Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
canceris a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatment. Illness-prevention
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health-promotion activity.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.

4. All of the following are aspects of the full-spectrum nursing role. Which jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
oneis essential for the nurse to do in order to successfully carry out all the others?

2)

Providing hands-on client jj jj

4)
j
Delegating to assistive jj jj
jjpersonnelANS: 1 j jj
A substantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment, critical
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
thinking, and problem solving, which directly affect the care the client will actually
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
receive. Providing hands-on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
thinking, and problem solving are essential to do it successfully. Carrying out
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
physician orders is a small part of a nurses role; it, too, requires nursing assessment,
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
planning, intervention, and evaluation. Many simple nursing tasks are being delegated
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
to nursing assistive personnel; delegation requires careful analysis of patient status and
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
the appropriateness of support personnel to deliver care. Another way to analyze this
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
question is that none of the options of providing hands-on care, carrying out physician
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
orders, and delegating to assistive personnel is required for the nurse to think and
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
reasonabout a clients care; so the answer must be 1.

5. Which statement pertaining to Benners practice model for clinical competence jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
is true?
jj
1)
j
Progression through the stages is constant, with most nurses reaching the proficient stage.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
2)
Progression through the stages involves continual development of thinking and technical
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
skills.
j
3)
The nurse must have experience in many areas before being considered an
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
expert.4)
jj j
The nurses progress through the stages is determined by years of experience and skills.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
ANS: 2
j jj
Movement through the stages is not constant. Benners model is based on integration of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
, knowledge, technical skill, and intuition in the development of clinical wisdom. The
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
model does not mention experience in many areas. The model does not mention years
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
ofexperience.

6. Which of the following best explains why it is difficult for the jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
professionto develop a definition of nursing?
jj j jj jj jj jj jj
1)
There are too many different and conflicting images of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
nurses.2)
jj j
There are constant changes in healthcare and the activities of nurses.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
3)
j
There is disagreement among the different nursingorganizations.
jj jj jj jj jj jj j
4)
j
There are different education pathways and levels of practice.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
ANS: 2
j jj
The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a definition; they
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
may also make it more difficult, but not to the extent that constant change does.
j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come changes in where, how, and what
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
nursing care is delivered. Constant changes make it difficult to develop a definition.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they are similar in
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
most ways. The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
definitionof nursing.

7. Nurses have the potential to be very influential in shaping jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
healthcarepolicy. Which of the following factors contributes most to nurses
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
influence?
jj
1)
Nurses are the largest health professional
jj jj jj jj jj
group.2)
jj j
Nurses have a long history of serving the
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
public.3)
jj j
Nurses have achieved some independence from physicians in recent
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
years.4)
jj j
Political involvement has helped refute negative images portrayed in the media.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
ANS: 1
j jj
Nurses are trusted professionals and the largest health professional group. As such,
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
theyhave political power to effect changes. If nursing were a small group, there would
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
be little potential for power in shaping policies, even if all the other answers were true.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
Serving the public, while positive, does not necessarily help nurses to be influential in
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
establishing health policy. Independence from physicians, although positive, does not
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
necessarily make nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy. Refuting negative
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
media, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing
j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj
healthcare policy.
