MULTIPLE CHOICE b5
1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories in clinical
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
practice. The students would be correct if they chose which theoryto prioritize patient care?
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
a. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory b5 b5
b. Paul‘s Critical-Thinking Theory b5 b5
c. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs b5 b5 b5
d. Rosenstock‘s Health Belief Model b5 b5 b5
ANS: C b5
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
each person‘s physical and mental health. The nurse‘s understanding of these factors helps
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the patient‘s needs and values to prioritize
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
care. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
individuals‘ interactingand learningabout their world. Nurses use concepts of developmental
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their lives.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Rosenstock (1974) developed thepsychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
behaviors. This model is especially useful to nurses as they educate patients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
student would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
a. Theimbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity for
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
health. b5
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and patient.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
c. Thenurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energyfields. b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
ANS: A b5
Florence Nightingale‘s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean air,
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
environment decreases the capacityfor health and does not allow for conservation of energy.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse‘s role as
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
(working with the person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
(1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
their environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

a. Dorothea Dix b5

Clara Barton practiced nursing in the Civil War and established the American Red Cross.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
DorotheaDix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which was a forerunner of the Army
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Nurse Corps. Linda Richards was America‘s first trained nurse, graduating from Boston‘s
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Women‘s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee, superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps,
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
was awarded the Navy Cross in 1918.

b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Education for Professional Nursing Practice are provided and updated by the American
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2008). The document offers a framework for the
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
education of professional nurses with outcomes for students to meet. The National League for
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
Nursing (NLN) outlines and updates competencies for practical, associate, baccalaureate, and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
graduate nursing education programs.

8. The nurse is caring for a patient who refuses two units of packed red blood cells. When the
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
nurse notifies the health care provider of the patient’s decision, the nurse is acting in which
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
role?
b5
a. Manager
b. Change agent b5
c. Advocate
d. Educator
ANS: C b5
As the patient’s advocate, the nurse interprets information and provides the necessary
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
education. The nurse then accepts and respects the patient’s decisions even if they are
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
different from the nurse’s own beliefs. The nurse supports the patient’s wishes and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
communicates them to other health care providers. A nurse manages all of the activities and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
treatments for patients. In the role of change agent, the nurse works with patients to address
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
their health concerns and with staff members to address change in an organization or within a
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
community. The nurse ensures that the patient receives sufficient information on which to
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
base consent for care and related treatment. Education becomes a major focus of discharge
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
planning so that patients will be prepared to handle their own needs at home.

9. The nursing student develops a plan of care based on a recently published article describing
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
the effects of bed rest on a patient’s calcium blood levels. When creating the plan of care, the
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
nursing student has the obligation to consider which action?
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
a. Criticallyappraise the evidence and determine validity. b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
b. Ensure that the plan of care does not alter current practice.
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
c. Change the process even when there is no problem identified. b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
d. Maintain the plan of care regardless of initial outcome. b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
ANS: A b5
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an integration of the best-available research evidence with b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
clinical judgment about a specific patient situation. The nurse assesses current and past
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
research, clinical guidelines, and other resources to identifyrelevant literature. The application of
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
EBP includes critically appraising the evidence to assess its validity, designing a change for
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
practice, assessing the need for change and identifying a problem, and integrating and
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
maintaining change while monitoring process and outcomes by reevaluating the application of
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
evidence and assessing areas for improvement.
