1. Which is the most influential factor that has shaped the nursing profession?
| 1) | Physicians’ need for handmaidens |
| 2) | Societal need for healthcare outside the home |
| 3) | Military demand for nurses in the field |
| 4) | Germ theory influence on sanitation |
ANS: 3

| Feedback | |
| 1 | The physician’s handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence on nursing. |
| 2 | Although there has been a need for healthcare outside the home throughout history, this has more influence on the development of hospitals than on nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing work. |
| 3 | Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the success of the military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and well-being of soldiers are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. |
| 4 | Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape nursing. |

Cognitive level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Health Promotion
Difficulty: Moderate
| Feedback | |
| 1 | Illness-prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health-promotion activity. |
| 2 | Although cancer is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatment. |
| 3 | Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. |
| 4 | Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes. |

Difficulty: Difficult
| Feedback | |
| 1 | A substantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment, critical thinking, and problem solving, which directly affect the care the client will actually receive. |
| 2 | Providing hands-on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and problem-solving are essential to do it successfully. |
| 3 | Carrying out physician orders is a small part of a nurse’s role; it, too, requires nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. |
| 4 | Many simple nursing tasks are being delegated to nursing assistive personnel; delegation requires careful analysis of patient status and the appropriateness of support personnel to deliver care. |

| Feedback | |
| 1 | The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a definition; they may also make it more difficult but not to the extent that constant change does. |
| 2 | Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come changes in where, how, and what nursing care is delivered. Constant changes make it difficult to develop a definition. |
| 3 | Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they are similar in most ways. |
| 4 | The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the definition of nursing. |

| 1 | Nurses are trusted professionals and the largest health professional group. As such, they have political power to effect changes. If nursing were a small group, there would be little potential for power in shaping policies, even if all the other answers were true. |
| 2 | Serving the public, although positive, does not necessarily help nurses to be influential in establishing health policy. |
| 3 | Independence from physicians, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy. |
| 4 | Refuting negative media, although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy. |

| 1 | A definition of nursing would not be likely to increase the number of informed people recruited into nursing. |
| 2 | A definition of nursing would do little to improve the nurse’s role satisfaction. |
| 3 | Although a definition of nursing might contribute to fighting stereotypes of nursing, other, more powerful influences (e.g., media portrayals) exist to counteract it. |

Integrated Processes: Nursing Process – Planning
Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
Cognitive level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Patient-Centered Care
Difficulty: Moderate
| Feedback | |
| 1 | When the functional nursing model is employed, care is compartmentalized and each task is assigned to a staff member with the appropriate knowledge and skills. |
| 2 | In primary nursing, one nurse plans the care for a group of patients around the clock. The primary nurse assesses the patient and develops the plan of care. When that nurse is working, he or she provides care for those patients for whom he or she is responsible. In his or her absence, the associate nurses deliver care. Although the nurse in this case could possibly be a primary nurse, there are not enough data to confidently infer that. |
| 3 | The nurse is following the case method model of nursing care. In this model, one nurse cares for one patient during a single shift. |
| 4 | If the team nursing approach is utilized, a licensed nurse (RN or LVN) is paired with a nursing assistant. The pair is then assigned to a group of patients. |

| 1 | This patient’s care is most likely being directed by a critical pathway. A critical pathway is a multidisciplinary approach to care that sequences interventions over a length of stay for a given case type such as total abdominal hysterectomy. Using this model, the patient can be assisted out of bed as soon as her vital signs are stable. |
| 2 | The nursing care plan guides nursing care but cannot specify when the patient can get out of bed postoperatively without a physician’s order. |
| 3 | When case management is used, care is coordinated by the case manager across the healthcare setting, but the case manager does not direct each care intervention. |
| 4 | Using the traditional model, the nurse would have to obtain a physician’s order to assist the patient out of bed after surgery. |
