Chapter 2 – The Evolution of Nursing Science
1. Historically, nursing preparation was referred to as “training,” and many nurses educated

years?
A. On-the-job apprenticeships are no longer as prevalent as they were up through the
late1970s and early 1980s.
B. It places emphasis on nurses’ abilities to perform tasks rather than reason through and
understand the purpose of their actions.
C. Most modern nurses pursue Master’s level education beyond their practice-
basedBachelor’s education.
D. The last 30 years have seen nursing education move away from physician-taught
coursesin hospitals to professor-taught courses at universities.
Ans: B
2. During the 1960s, why did nursing scholars heavily emphasize a focus on the
theoreticaldevelopment of nursing as its own, independent discipline?
A. To support doctoral education for nurses that was discipline specific
B. To prove that the logical positivist approach was a poor fit for the discipline
C. To encourage and enhance the continued development of nursing science
D. To promote research by nurses in all fields, not merely nursing
scienceAns: C
3. Which argument best supports the idea of nursing as a professional discipline rather
thanan academic discipline?
A. “Nursing is an applied science. Its practice component places an emphasis on the
delivery of service by nurses rather than the development of academic knowledge.”
B. “Nursing is a discipline with unique substance. It borrows very little from other
disciplines and, as a result, is beyond the realm of most academic programs in the
sciencesthat acknowledge idea sharing across disciplines.”
C. “Nursing is a concept with a lengthy unofficial history. Individuals have been providing
nursing care to others since the Crusades, and this professional provision of services
predatesformal education in the field.”
D. “Nursing is a relative newcomer to advanced education. For many years, nurses were
educated or trained only at a Bachelor’s level, and advanced practice therefore has its roots
inthe profession itself rather than in academia.”
