MSC: NCLEX Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
2. ANS: C
The nurse will use Lewin’s change theory most often in the leadership role. Maslow’s hierarchy of
needs, Erikson’s developmental theory, and the Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model will be utilized most
during patient care and education.

3. ANS: C
This is an example of the dynamic interpersonal process of collaboration in which health care
professionals constructively solve problems and learn from each other. Delegation is the process of
entrusting or transferring the responsibility for certain tasks to other personnel. Advocacy is speaking for
the patient when he or she is not able to. Management is overseeing a group of people.

MSC: NCLEX Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
4. ANS: D
The nurse is an advanced beginner for 2 to 3 years after graduating and doesn’t reach the level of
competence until the end of that time period. An expert has an intuitive grasp of situations. A novice is
rigid and rule-bound because he or she has no experience.

MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. ANS: B, C
The nurse as the patient advocate must ensure that the patient’s wishes are known to the provider/s. The
nurse must also accept the patient’s decisions and support them, even if the decision is not one the nurse
agrees with. Providing and evaluating education is the educator role. The nurse’s and provider’s
viewpoints are not important as factual education.
LO: 1.2
DIF: Understanding
MSC: NCLEX Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
2. ANS: A, C
Since the nurse will be discussing nutrition to a specific cultural group, the nurse needs to understand the
cultural influences on their nutritional practices. In addition, the nurse needs to understand change
theory to plan her education if she is attempting to have the group make changes in their nutritional
practices. The Health Belief Model would also help in understanding the community’s perceptions
regarding barriers that facilitate or discourage adoption of the promoted behaviors. Vital statistics are
not essential.

DIF: Applying
MSC: NCLEX Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
3. ANS: B, C
By looking for problems and questioning practices, the nurse is identifying problems that can be
researched. By incorporating any new research into practice, the nurse is involved in evidence-based
practice. Performing skills as learned and following policies are not part of the researcher’s role
(although policies should always be followed they should also be changed when needed). The bedside
nurse is not an appropriate person to design and conduct research; this would take a higher level of
education.
