It emphasizes the nurse’s roles, responsibilities, legal accountability, QSEN competencies, patient safety, advocacy, and lifelong learning to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across diverse healthcare settings. ________________________________________ 1. A newly licensed nurse asks what primarily distinguishes professional nursing from unlicensed caregiving. A. Performing technical skills B. Following physician orders C. Use of clinical judgment and accountability D. Providing emotional support Correct Answer: C Rationale: Professional nursing is defined by critical thinking, independent judgment, and accountability. Skills and emotional support alone do not distinguish professional nursing roles. 2. A nurse demonstrates accountability by performing which action? A. Delegating tasks to assistive personnel B. Documenting care accurately and timely C. Asking peers for advice D. Following hospital routines Correct Answer: B Rationale: Accountability involves being answerable for actions, including accurate documentation. Delegation and routines do not replace personal professional responsibility. 3. A patient questions a prescribed medication dose. What is the nurse’s best initial action? A. Administer the medication as written B. Reassure the patient it is correct C. Clarify the order with the provider D. Refuse to give the medication Correct Answer: C Rationale: Advocacy and safety require the nurse to clarify questionable orders. Blindly administering or refusing without clarification is unsafe. 4. Which QSEN competency focuses on minimizing risk of harm to patients and providers? A. Teamwork and collaboration B. Evidence-based practice C. Safety D. Informatics Correct Answer: C Rationale: Safety emphasizes reducing harm through system effectiveness and individual performance, a core professional nursing responsibility.
