Chapter 1, The Professional Nurse

1. The nursing director attends a workshop and is presenting information on the ANA's J J J J J J J J J J J J




Nursing's Social Policy Statement (2015b). Which statement regarding the profession of
J J J J J J J J J J J




nursing is included in the publication? J J J J J




a. Nurses are expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to J J J J J J J J J J J J




execute their professional duties. J J J




b. Use public policy of current legislature to shape the future of the nursing
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




profession.
c. Use scientific knowledge to ration care to those individuals with noncomplex
J J J J J J J J J J J




diagnoses and simple treatment options. J J J J




d. Use assessment as the guide in order to treat the full range of human responses
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




within the physical environment. J J J




ANS: A J J




Feedback: According to the ANA (2015b) Nursing's Social Policy Statement, nurses are
J J J J J J J J J J J J




expected to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and competence to execute their professional
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




duties. In return, nurses expect society to authorize practice autonomy, extend self-governance,
J J J J J J J J J J J J




protect the title of RN and scope of practice, receive respect and fair remuneration for services,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




be free to practice nursing to the full extent of educational preparation, receive support to sustain
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




the nursing profession, and be protected from hazardous service activities. Shaping the future of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nursing is a primary goal of the ANA and all its efforts. Use of scientific knowledge and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




assessment are characteristics of the nursing profession and are included in the nursing process.

2. A nurse who has worked for 15 years in the hospital has an opportunityto attend an
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




RN-to-BSN program, and the hospital will pay for the cost of tuition if the nurse agrees to work J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




there for 2 years following graduation. The nurse has accepted and is in the first term at the local
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




college. If the nurse wants to work on critical and reflective thinking skills, which activity
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




should the nurse focus on developing?
J J J J J




a. Reading a chapter on “Care ofthe Cardiac Patient” J J J J J J J J




b. Speaking to the nurses on the clinical unit J J J J J J J




c. Listening to family as they share the client's story J J J J J J J J




d. Writing a paper on nursing for the palliative client J J J J J J J J




ANS: D J J




Feedback: Writing requires nurses to use critical and reflective thinking. Speaking enables the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse to develop skills to communicate effectively verbally with clients as well as colleagues.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




Listening enables thought organization. Reading stimulates the release of neurotrophins,
J J J J J J J J J J




strengthening neural pathways. J J

3. A nurse in the long-term care facility has decided to return to nursing school to earn a higher
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




degree. The nurse is full of positive thoughts and energy when contemplates all the new things to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




learn. According to Shane's returning-to-school syndrome, which phase is this nurse
J J J J J J J J J J J




experiencing?
a. Conflict phase J




b. Reintegration phase J




c. Integrationphase J




d. Honeymoonphase J




ANS: D J J




Feedback: Shane describes a “returning-to-school syndrome” encountered by registered nurses
J J J J J J J J J J




returning to earn higher nursing degrees. The first phase, the honeymoon, is positive and the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse recognizes similarities between previous educational experiences and the present
J J J J J J J J J J




experiences that reinforce their original role identity as a nurse. As a result, the nurse feels
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




energetic about learning new things. The conflict phase is characterized by turbulent negative
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




emotions when faculty members challenge the nurse to change ways of thinking and/or
J J J J J J J J J J J J J




practicing. Phase 3, or reintegration, identifies the successful resolution ofconflict. In this stage,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurses struggle to hold on to cherished beliefs about practice and frequently wonder why they
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




decided to pursue a higher degree. The final stage, integration, is characterized by the ability to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




blend the original culture of work with the new culture of school. Integration of the old with the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




new results in a positive resolution of the
J J J J J J J




returning-to-schoolsyndrome but occurs later in theprocess. J J J J J J J

4. A student nurse, who is in the second semester of nursing school, is experiencing an
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




unsettled feeling. The nurse notes a lack of confidence in knowing how to act or what
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




questions to ask. According to Bridges' Managing Transitions theory, what phase of
J J J J J J J J J J J J




transition is this student experiencing? J J J J




a. New beginning J




b. Neutralzone J




c. Transitionone J




d. Letting go J




ANS: B J J




Feedback: The second phase that Bridges calls “the neutral zone” is when the old identity has
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




vanished but the new one is not fully developed. In this phase, people experience a very unsettled
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




feeling because they may not know how to act or what questions to ask. A new beginning is the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




third phase and is characterized by a new mental image or experience hallmarked by “a release
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




of new energy in a new direction.” A transition is the psychological adaptation that occurs and is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




not part of the phases. Letting go is the first phase of the process and requires letting go of the old
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




identity.
