Specialized Body of Knowledge - Answer The specialized body of knowledge that has developed is
called "nursing science". The body of knowledge forms the theoretical basis for the practice of nursing.

Nursing has a body of knowledge that is unique to nursing and the body of knowledge continues to
expand.

interventions are based on data from research vs. intuition.
Nursing is no longer based on trial and error - nursing interventions are based on evidence derived from
research.

or university setting. Professional education includes such aspects as a specialized body of knowledge,
skill preparation and development of beliefs, values, and attitudes about the profession.
, All nursing education does not occur in institutions of higher education as there are still diploma/hospital
based nursing programs. The issue of entry into nursing at the baccalaureate level continues to be
debated.
Autonomy - Answer the profession formulates professional policy and has control of professional
activities. The nursing process is the profession's unique approach to nursing practice.

directed pursuit for a wage or salary? Many nurses do view nursing as a profession but there may be
some who view it as earning a paycheck.
Service Orientation - Answer The patient (public) is the focus of all nursing practice. Nursing has been
viewed as an altruistic profession. The goal of nursing is to assist others.
Nursing provides a service that is necessary to the well-being of others.
Professional Organization and Professional Standards - Answer Professional organizations represent
members of the profession and control the quality of professional practice. The American Nurses
Association (ANA) is the official voice and advocate for nursing. The ANA focus is quality of nursing
practice.
Nursing professional organizations exist but often lack the power when compared to other professional
organizations such as the American Medical Association. The lack of power is attributed to the small
percentage of nurses belong to their professional organization.
occupation VS profession - Answer One difference between an occupation and a profession that is
generally accepted is that a profession is more concerned with its preparation and long term
commitment. In contrast, occupations often refer to ones work or employment.
