NURSING 3300 EXAM NEWEST VERSION -2025/2026- 100+ Q
AND ANS MOST POPULAR EXAM GUARANTEED SUCCESS
The new nursing graduate is concerned about some of the critical changes that
will be occurring in nursing. What changes does the nurse anticipate will impact
nursing care?
a.) Rapid growth of nurses and shortage of job opportunities
b.) Decrease in health care costs
c.) Limitations that nurses have in the workforce
d.) Difficulty for nurses to remain current in a rapidly changing medical and
technology environment
d.) Difficulty for nurses to remain current in a rapidly changing medical and
technology environment
Explanation:
The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP)
identifies critical challenges to nursing practice in the 21st century: a growing
population of hospitalized clients who are older and more acutely ill, increasing
health care costs, and the need to stay current with rapid advances in medical
knowledge and technology. Nursing is limitless and, with opportunities for
furthering education, there are many various ways nurses can practice. Health
costs are rising and there are more citizens needing health care. There is a
projected nursing shortage that may be severe and there are no shortages of jobs
for nurses.

What is the best nursing intervention to promote health in a client at risk for heart
disease?
a.) Taking the client's pulse rate daily
b.) Instructing the client to adhere to a high-sodium diet
c.) Informing the client that the client must lose weight
d.) Emphasizing a client's strengths to encourage weight loss
d.) Emphasizing a client's strengths to encourage weight loss
Explanation:
Nurses promote health by identifying, analyzing, and maximizing each client's own
individual strengths as components of preventing illness, restoring health, and
facilitating coping with disability or death. Emphasizing the client's strengths to
encourage weight loss is the most effective way to promote this client's health.
Informing the client that the client must lose weight would not help the client use
his or her strengths to accomplish the goal. Low-sodium diets can prevent heart
disease. Taking the pulse daily would not prevent heart disease.
Which explanation accurately differentiates the role of the registered nurse (RN)
from that of the licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN)?
a.) The RN is permitted to prescribe medications.
b.) The LPN/LVN can only work in a long-term care facility.
c.) The RN directs the workload of an LPN/LVN.
d.) The LPN/LVN should work under the supervision of an RN.
d.) The LPN/LVN should work under the supervision of an RN.

LPNs/LVNs are employed in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and rehabilitation
centers and by health care providers. LPNs/LVNs differ from RNs in two areas:
educational preparation and scope of practice. LPNs always practice under the
supervision of an RN. LPNs have a scope of practice and the workload is not
directed by the RN. RNs are not permitted to prescribe medications. Nurse
practitioners may prescribe medications.
What might a nurse need to do to ensure the continuation of his or her nursing
license?
a.) Attend hospital in-services.
b.) Obtain a baccalaureate degree.
c.) Obtain a master's degree.
d.) Obtain continuing education credits.
d.) Obtain continuing education credits.
Explanation:
In many states, continuing education is required for an RN to maintain licensure.
These are defined as professional development experiences designed to enrich
the nurse's contribution to health. Obtainment of an ongoing degree is not
necessary to maintain licensure. While hospital in-services may provide continuing
education, not all in-services are designed to do so.
A nurse is working with a client who has undergone a lower leg amputation. While
conducting an assessment, the nurse notes the client has a downcast mood.
Which statement by the nurse conveys empathy to the client?
a.) "If I had the type of life-altering experience you had, I would probably feel
depressed. You are doing well under the circumstances."
, 4
b.) "I notice you might be experiencing some feelings of sadness. Would you like
to share how you are feeling with me?"
c.) "I can see you are in need of extra comfort right now. Let me adjust your
position and readjust your bed linens for you."
d.) "It is not uncommon to be depressed after having such major surgery. Many of
my clients feel sad."
b.) "I notice you might be experiencing some feelings of sadness. Would you like
to share how you are feeling with me?"
Explanation:
Because a client does not always communicate one's feelings to strangers, nurses
use empathy (intuitive awareness of what the client is experiencing) to perceive
the client's emotional state and need for support. This skill differs from sympathy
(feeling as emotionally distraught as the client). Empathy helps the nurse become
effective at providing for the client's needs while remaining compassionately
detached. By stating an observational awareness of the client's emotional state
based on the client's nonverbal cues, the nurse invites the client to engage in
therapeutic communication. The nurse does not assume the client wants any
help; therefore, the nurse asks if the client wants to engage in exploring one's
experience. By telling the client that is common to be depressed, the nurse is
making an assumption about the client's emotional experience. Not all sadness
should be labeled as "depression." In addition, by telling the client that other
people have had the same experience, it minimizes the client's unique and
personal experience, which can threaten the nurse-client relationship and pose a
barrier to therapeutic communication. The nurse should not share personal
experiences or how the client's unique health experience would make the nurse
feel if the nurse was in the same situation. Again, this statement serves to
minimize the client's experience and undermines therapeutic communication.
Although comforting skills are essential to nursing, assuming that adjusting the
