2. The nurse prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcome. Which standard of
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
nursing practice is the nurse following?
ju ju ju ju ju ju
a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning
d. Implementation
ANS: C ju
In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse
j u ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
registered nurse implements (carries out) the identified plan.

3. An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level of
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
a. Novice
b. Proficient
c. Competent
d. Advanced beginner ju
ANS: A ju
, A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
level of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
home health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
situation as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
organization and specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
care and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
situation is an advanced beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.

4. A nurse assesses a patient’s fluid status and decides that the patient needs to drink more fluids.
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
The nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
demonstrating?
ju
a. Licensure
b. Autonomy
c. Certification
d. Accountability
ANS: B ju
Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN, the nurse
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
may choose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice. Accountability
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
means that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
care provided.

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
ju implementing?
a. Educator

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju

facility. As an educator, you explain concepts and facts about health, describe the reason for
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
routine care activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
or patient behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning. As a patient advocate,
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
you protect your patient’s human and legal rights and provide assistance in asserting these
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
rights if the need arises. As a caregiver, you help patients maintain and regain health, manage
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
disease and symptoms, and attain a maximal level function and independence through the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
healing process.

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
nurse. However, the nurse has a strong desire to pursue research and theory development. To

Some doctoral programs prepare nurses for more rigorous research and theory development
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
and award the research-oriented Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing. Professional doctoral
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings to clinical
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
practitioners.

ju Association. Which type of education did the nurse receive? ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
a. Graduate education ju
b. Inservice education ju
c. Continuing education ju
