Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f connected poor sanitation with cholera and dysentery. Mildred Montag, Clara
ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f Barton, and Mary Agnes Snively came after Nightingale, each contributing to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f the nursing profession in her own way. Clara Barton founded the American
f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f Red Cross. Dr. Mildred Montag established the first associate degree nursing
f f f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f
f f program in 1952. Mary Agnes Snively began forming
f f f f f f ff f f f f f f
the Canadian National Association of Trained Nurses in 1883.

3. Nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement in 1893 were among
f f ff f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f
ff the first nurses to demonstrate autonomy in practice. This was
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f because those nurses f f f f
a. Had no ability to work in the hospital setting.
ff f f ff f f ff f f f f f f
b. Were required to use critical thinking skills.
ff f f f f f f f f f f
c. Focused solely on healing the very ill. f f ff f f f f f f ff
d. Planned their care around research findings. ff ff ff f f ff
ANS: B f f
In 1893, nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement were some of the first
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f to demonstrate autonomy in practice because they encountered situations that
ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f required quick and innovative problem solving and critical thinking, and
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f provided therapies aimed at maintaining wellness, as well as curing the ill.
f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f Nursing hospitals expanded in the late nineteenth century and were major
f f f f f f f f f f ff f f ff f f f f
f f providers of nursing care. Not until the early twentieth century was there a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f ff ff f f f f f f
f f movement toward a scientific, research-based body of nursing knowledge.

4. In 1923, the Goldmark Report was an important study that
f f f f f f f f f f ff f f f f ff
a. Formed formal nurse midwifery programs. ff f f ff ff
b. Established the Center for Ethics and Human Rights. ff f f f f f f f f f f f f
c. Revised the ANA code of ethics. f f f f f f f f f f
d. Led to the development of the Yale School of Nursing.
f f ff f f f f ff f f ff f f f f
ANS: D f f
In 1923, the Goldmark Report identified the need for increased financial
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f support for university- based schools of nursing. As a result, the Yale
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f School of Nursing was developed. Graduate nurse midwifery programs did
f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f
f f not come into existence until the 1940s, and the Center for Ethics and
f f f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f Human Rights was founded in 1990. The ANA code of ethics was
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f
f f published in 1985 and was last updated in 2001.

5. The major difference between a baccalaureate degree nursing program and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f ff f f
f f an associates degree nursing program is that the baccalaureate program
ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f includes studies in f f ff

a. Basic sciences and theoretical courses.
ff f f f f f f
b. Social sciences and humanities. ff f f ff
c. Theoretical and clinical courses. ff ff f f
d. Basic sciences and clinical courses.
ff f f f f f f
ANS: B f f
Both associates degree programs and baccalaureate programs focus on basic
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f sciences and f f f f on theoretical and clinical courses. Baccalaureate programs,
f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f however, also focus on courses in the social sciences, arts, and humanities to
f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f support nursing theory. f f f f
6. The nurse has been working in the clinical setting for several years as
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f an advanced practice nurse and has earned her masters degree as a family
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f nurse practitioner. However, she seems unfulfilled and has a strong desire
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f to do research. To fulfill her desire, the nurse most likely would apply to
f f f f f f f f f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f attend a program that would lead to a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
a. Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNSc).ff ff ff ff ff
b. Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD). ff f f ff f f
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP).ff ff f f ff f f
d. Doctor in the Science of Nursing degree (DSN).
ff ff f f ff f f ff f f
ANS: B f f
PhD programs emphasize basic research and theory and are research oriented.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f Professional doctoral ff f f programs f f in nursing (DSN
f f f f f f or f f DNSc) prepare graduates f f f f
f f to f f apply research findings to clinical nursing. The DNP is a practice
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners.

7. The nurse is caring for her patients and is focused on managing their care
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f as opposed to managing and performing skills. This nurse demonstrates which
f f ff f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f f level of proficiency according to Benner?
f f f f ff f f f f
a. Novice
b. Competent
