1. An oncology nurse with 15 years of experience, certification in the area of oncology nursing,

describes this nurse's role, taking into account the qualifications and experience?
A. clinical nurse specialist
B. nurse entrepreneur
C. nurse practitioner
D. nurse educator

experience who is considered to be an expert in a specialized area of nursing. The clinical nurse
specialist carries out direct client care; consultation; educating clients, families, and staff; and
research. A nurse practitioner has an advanced degree and works in a variety of settings to
deliver primary care. A nurse educator usually has an advanced degree and teaches in the
educational or clinical setting. A nurse entrepreneur may manage a clinic or health-related
business.

2. What guidelines do nurses follow to identify the client's health care needs and strengths, to
establish and carry out a plan of care to meet those needs, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the
plan to meet established outcomes?
A. Nursing process
B. ANA Standards of Professional Performance
C. Evidence-based practice guidelines
D. Nurse Practice Acts
Answer: A
Rationale: The nursing process is one of the major guidelines for nursing practice and the
profession. Nurses implement their roles through the nursing process. The nursing process is
used by the nurse to identify the client's health care needs and strengths, to establish and carry
out a plan of care to meet those needs, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan to meet
established outcomes. The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops the general nursing
scope and standards that apply to all nurses. Evidence-based practice guidelines are grounded in
research and direct nursing care. Safe, competent nursing practice is grounded in the law as
written in the state nurse practice act (NPA) and the state rules/regulations.

3. Which organization is the best source of information when a nurse wishes to determine
whether an action is within the scope of nursing practice?
A. American Nurses Association (ANA)
B. American Association of Colleges in Nursing (AACN)
C. National League for Nursing (NLN)
D. International Council of Nurses (ICN)
Answer: A
Rationale: The ANA's 2021 Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice defines activities that are
specific and unique to nursing. Standards allow nurses to carry out professional roles, serving as
protection for the nurse, the patient, and the institution where health care is provided. The
competencies articulated in the Standards describe expected levels of performance that integrate
knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgments. Each nurse is accountable for their own quality of
practice and is responsible for the use of these standards to ensure knowledgeable, safe, and
comprehensive nursing care. The AACN addresses educational standards, while the NLN
promotes and fosters various aspects of nursing. The ICN provides a venue for national nursing
organizations to collaborate, but does not define standards and scope of practice.

4. Which set of terms best describes nursing at the end of the Middle Ages?
A. continuity, caring, critical thinking
B. purpose, direction, leadership
C. assessment, interventions, outcomes
D. advocacy, research, education
Answer: B
Rationale: During the Middle Ages, nursing began to have a more clearly defined role. Members
of religious orders gave nursing care, nursing orders were founded, and nursing became a
respected vocation. Although the Middle Ages ended in chaos, nursing had developed purpose,
direction, and leadership. All of the other answers include concepts that were not developed until
much later in history, such as the nursing process (assessment, interventions, outcomes) and
