Fundamentals of Nursing ( Two Volume Set ) 3rd Edition Test Bank

Chapter 1. Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action




MULTIPLE CHOICE




1. Which of the following is an example of an illness prevention
activity?
a. Encouraging the use of a food diary

b. Joining a cancer support group

c. Administering immunization for HPV

d. Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet

ANS: C

Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although cancer is
a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease;
therefore, it would be treatment and not disease prevention. Illness prevention activities focus
on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic
patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so the teaching
cannot prevent diabetes.

2. Which organization can require nurses to take continuing education courses as a condition of
licensure renewal?
a. American Nurses Association
b. National League for Nursing
c. Sigma Theta Tau
d. State Board of Nursing

ANS: D
Continuing education is a professional strategy designed to ensure that nurses remain current
in their clinical knowledge. Many states require nurses to engage in a certain number of
continuing-education requirements to renew their license. The knowledge gained in the
nursing curriculum is sufficient for nursing school graduates to obtain their initial license.
Requirements for renewal of a nurse’s license can be found in the state’s nurse practice act
(state board of nursing).

3. An experienced seasoned nurse uses her knowledge of patient medical conditions and
intuition to identify patient problems. She is often the resource for other nurses on the unit.
What stage of proficiency has this nurse achieved?
a. Novice
b. Advanced beginner
c. Competent
d. Expert

ANS: D
The nurse who has reached the expert stage of proficiency has a deep understanding of the
clinical situation based on knowledge and experience. The nurse often senses a potential
problem in the absence of classic signs and symptoms. The novice nurse is inexperienced and
relies on rules and processes. The advanced beginner focuses on aspects of a situation and is
unable to see the comprehensive perspective. A nurse functioning at the competent level is
able to prioritize to meet the patient needs but does not fully grasp the total situation.

Difficulty: Moderate
Cognitive Level: Comprehension

PTS: 1

4. Which of the following best explains the importance of standards of practice?
a. Nurses and other healthcare providers have the same standards of practice.
b. Standard of practice only apply to nurses who work in hospital settings.
c. Standards of practice identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes nurses need to
provide safe care.
d. Standards of practice differ among registered nurses because the roles are different
based on the population they serve.
ANS: C
Standards of practice are authoritative statements of the duties that all registered nurses,
regardless of role, population, or specialty, are expected to perform competently. Standards
are derived from several sources, including professional organizations and healthcare
facilities’ policies and procedures.

standard of nursing education. The NLN focuses on faculty development in nursing education
programs and is the voice for nursing education.

7. An elderly patient is covered under Medicare. She is scheduled for discharge and tells the
nursing student that several therapists will come to her home to help her regain functional
abilities. The patient then asks, “Why can’t I just stay in the hospital and receive this type of
care?” What is the nursing student’s best response?
a. “You should be able to stay in the hospital. I will ask the nurse to call your doctor.”
b. “Once you have reached your reimbursable length of stay and your condition is
stable, it is more cost effective to provide you with home healthcare.”
c. “Medicare is a type of managed care, which mean that you are only allowed to stay
in the hospital for a certain number of days before being discharged, regardless of
your condition.”
d. “You should be glad to be in your own home. You will recover in no time.”

ANS: B

, Fundamentals of Nursing ( Two Volume Set ) 3rd Edition Test Bank
Home healthcare services are provided to patients who still require skilled care but are
discharged from the hospital because the reimbursable length-of-stay has expired. The patient
is stable and can receive provider services at home. It would be incorrect and misleading to
tell the patient she “should be able to stay in the hospital.” It would be incorrect to tell the
patient she is allowed only “a certain number of days before being discharged,” because the
patient’s condition is a factor in determining whether the patient can be discharged from the
hospital. Telling the patient that she should be glad to be going home is a form of closed
communication and does not address her question.

8. Which of the following is the most important reason to develop a definition of nursing?
a. Recruit more informed people into the nursing profession
b. Evaluate the degree of role satisfaction
c. Dispel the stereotypical images of nurses and nursing
d. Differentiate nursing activities from those of other health professionals

ANS: D
Nursing organization leaders think it is important to develop a definition of nursing to bring
value and understanding to the profession, differentiate nursing activities from those of other
health professionals, and help student nurses understand what is expected of them. A
definition of nursing likely would not increase the number of informed people recruited into
nursing. A definition of nursing would do little to improve the nurse’s role satisfaction.
Although a definition of nursing might contribute to fighting stereotypes of nursing, other,
more powerful influences (e.g., media portrayals), exist to counteract it.

9. Which of the following provides evidence-based support for the contribution that advanced
practice nurses (APNs) make within healthcare?
a. Reduced usage of diagnostics using advanced technology
b. Decreased number of unnecessary visits to the emergency department
c. Improved patient compliance with prescribed treatments
d. Increased usage of complementary and alternative therapies

ANS: C
Studies demonstrate that APNs have improved patient outcomes over those of physicians,
including increased patient understanding and cooperation with treatments and decreased
need for hospitalizations. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’ effect on the use
of advanced technology. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’ effect on the
frequency of emergency department visits. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’
effect on the use of alternative therapies.
