mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
standard of nursing practice is the nurse following?
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
a. Assessment
b. Diagnosis
c. Planning

ANS: C mm
In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
alternatives to attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
collects comprehensive data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
diagnosis, the registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
or issues. During implementation, the registered nurse implements (carries out) the
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
identified plan.

mm level of proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
a. Novice
b. Proficient

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

United States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
RN, the nurse may choose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
practice. Accountability means that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for

mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
activities, reinforce learning or patient behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
learning. As a patient advocate, you protect your patient’s human and legal rights and
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
provide assistance in asserting these rights if the need arises. As a caregiver, you help
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
