Chapter 1. Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Answer Section MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. ANS: 3 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Name and recognize the four purposes of nursing care. Page: 19 (V1) Heading: Nursing and Illness Prevention Integrated Processes: Teaching and Learning Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Cognitive Level: Application [Applying] Concept: Health Promotion Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. Illness prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. Keeping a food diary is a health promotion activity. 2 This is incorrect. Although cancer is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease; therefore, it would be treatment and not disease prevention. 3 This is correct. Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. 4 This is incorrect. Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so the teaching cannot prevent diabetes. PTS: 1 CON: Health Promotion 2. ANS: 4 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Explain how nursing practice is regulated.

The novice nurse is inexperienced and relies on rules and processes. 2 This is incorrect. The advanced beginner focuses on aspects of a situation and is unable to see the comprehensive perspective. 3 This is incorrect. A nurse functioning at the competent level is able to prioritize to meet patient needs but does not fully grasp the total situation. 4 This is correct. The nurse who has reached the expert stage of proficiency has a deep understanding of the clinical situation based on knowledge and experience. The nurse often senses a potential problem in the absence of classic signs and symptoms. PTS: 1 CON: Professionalism 4. ANS: 3 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Explain how nursing practice is regulated. Page: 24 (V1) Heading: Contemporary Nursing: Education, Regulation, and Practice > Standards of Practice Integrated Processes: Communication and Documentation Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Application [Applying] Concept: Professionalism Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. Nursing standards of practice are exclusive to the profession of nursing; standards of nursing practice are not shared with other healthcare professionals. 2 This is incorrect. The standards of practice for nursing are applicable regardless of the setting in which nursing care is provided.    3 This is correct. Standards of practice are authoritative statements of the duties that all registered nurses, regardless of role, population, or specialty, are expected to perform competently. Standards are derived from several sources, including professional organizations and healthcare facilities’ policies and procedures. 4 This is incorrect. The standards of practice for nursing are applicable regardless of the population receiving nursing care. PTS: 1 CON: Professionalism 5. ANS: 2 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Give four examples of influential nursing organizations. Page: 13 (V1) Heading: Nursing Organization Guidelines Integrated Processes: Teaching and Learning Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Professionalism Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. The American Nurses Association (ANA) is the official professional organization for nurses in the United States. Originally, the ANA focused on establishing standards of nursing to promote high -quality care and working toward licensure as a means to ensure adherence to the standards; both these actions focus on patient safety.    2 This is correct.

ANS: 3 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Name and recognize the four purposes of nursing care. Page: 19 (V1) Heading: Healthcare Delivery System > How Is Healthcare Categorized? Integrated Processes: Nursing Process Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Health Promotion Difficulty: Difficult Feedback 1 This is incorrect. The six domains of acute care are: (1) trauma care and acute care surgery, (2) emergency care, (3) urgent care, (4) short -term stabilization, (5) prehospital care, and (6) critical care. The goal is to prevent deterioration and restore health. Initially, this patient requires acute care. 2 This is incorrect. Secondary care is available for patients who require support or rehabilitation over a limited period of time. A patient may require secondary care following a joint replacement. 3 This is correct. Tertiary care is required for individuals who need long-term care or for those who are dying. After a debilitating stroke, this patient is most likely to require long-term care. 4 This is incorrect. Preventive care is provided as an effort to prevent disease and illness; following a stroke, the patient is no longer considered for preventive care alone. PTS: 1 CON: Health Promotion 7. ANS: 2 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Describe the healthcare delivery system in the United States, including sites for care, types of workers, regulation, and financing of healthcare. Page: 17 (V1) Heading: Where Is Care Provided? > Extended Care Facilities Integrated Processes: Nursing Process Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Safety Difficulty: Difficult Feedback 1 This is incorrect. The question does not include information regarding the patient care needs following discharge; therefore, this option is not a good choice. Skilled care facilities include services of trained professionals who are needed for a limited p eriod of time after an injury or illness (e.g., wound care, intravenous infusions). Services are provided to clients who no longer need 24- hour acute care services and who can be expected to improve with treatment. 2 This is correct. An assisted -living facility is designed to bridge the gap between independence and institutionalization for older adults who have a decline in health status and cannot live independently. Residents of these facilities are able to perform s elf-care activities but require assistance with meals, housekeeping, or medications. Because skilled care is usually not required, nurses have a limited presence at assisted living sites. The patient expresses concern over the ability to provide adequate self-care. 3 This is incorrect. There is no information to support the patient needing nursing home care, which provides custodial care for people who cannot live on their own but are not sick enough to require hospitalization. They may be a permanent hom e for people who require continual supervision to ensure their safety. Residents are offered a provider to supervise care, recreational activities, and salon services. 4 This is incorrect. Independent living facilities are designed for seniors 55 years or older who (a) are independent in all aspects and (b) want to live in a community with other senior citizens. Services usually include a peer support network that provides socialization opportunities, structured recreational activities, transportation arrangements, fitness centers, pools, and quiet environments. Nurses may provide periodic health screening and health information. The patient’s expressed concern does not support this extended care type. PTS: 1 CON: Safety 8. ANS: 4 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Define nursing in your own words. Page: 24 (V1) Heading: Contemporary Nursing: Education, Regulation, and Practice > How Is Nursing Defined? Integrated Processes: Communication and Documentation Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Comprehension [Understanding] Concept: Evidence -Based Practice Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. A definition of nursing is not likely to increase the number of informed people recruited into nursing. 2 This is incorrect. A definition of nursing would do little to improve the nurse’s role satisfaction. 3 This is incorrect. Although a definition of nursing might contribute to fighting stereotypes of nursing, other, more powerful influences (e.g., media portrayals), exist to counteract it. 4 This is correct. Nursing organization leaders think it is important to develop a definition of nursing to bring value and understanding to the profession, differentiate nursing activities from those of other healthcare professionals, and help student nurse s understand what is expected of them. PTS: 1 CON: Evidence -Based Practice 9. ANS: 3 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Delineate the forces and trends affecting contemporary nursing practice. Page: 27 (V1) Heading: Expanded Career Roles for Nurses > Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) Integrated Processes: Nursing Process Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Comprehension [Understanding] Concept: Evidence -Based Practice Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’ effect on the use of advanced technology. 2 This is incorrect. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’ effect on the frequency of emergency department visits. 3 This is correct. Studies demonstrate that APNs have achieved improved patient outcomes compared with physicians, including increased patient understanding and cooperation with treatments and decreased need for hospitalizations. 4 This is incorrect. No well-known, scientific studies support APNs’ effect on the use of alternative therapies. PTS: 1 CON: Evidence -Based Practice 10. ANS: 1 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Discuss issues related to healthcare reform. Page: 20 (V1) Heading: How Is Healthcare Financed? > Government (Public) Financing Integrated Processes: Nursing Process Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Patient -Centered Care Difficulty: Difficult Feedback 1 This is correct. CHIP is a joint venture between the federal government and states. CHIP provides health insurance to millions of children whose family income exceeds Medicaid eligibility criteria but who cannot afford private insurance and are not covered under a parent’s policy. The nurse recognizes this program as the most appropriate one for this family. 2 This is incorrect. Medicare is a federal insurance program created by Title XVIII of the Social Security Act of 1965. This act as designed to provide insurance coverage for persons age 65 years and older and later expanded to include younger people with permanent disabilities, such as end-stage renal disease. 3 This is incorrect. Medic aid was developed under Title XIX of the Social Security Act of 1965 to provide access to healthcare services for people with low incomes and minimal resources. Medicaid offers a fairly comprehensive set of benefits, including prescription drugs, skilled care, and long-term care.    4 This is incorrect. The nurse is aware that charitable organizations are an increasingly important funding source for healthcare. Community agencies that are funded through networks, such as the United Way, Salvation Army, and Red Cross, provide important resources for children, poor families, older adults, and vulnerable populations, such as the homeless, mentally ill, and victims of violence. This is the second -most appropriate program for this family. PTS: 1 CON: Patient -Centered Care 11. ANS: 2 Chapter: Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action Objective: Describe the healthcare delivery system in the United States, including sites for care, types of workers, regulation, and financing of healthcare.

Integrated Processes: Nursing Process Client Need: Physiological Integrity: Reduction of Risk Potential Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Patie nt-Centered Care Difficulty: Moderate Feedback 1 This is incorrect. Acute care facilities focus on preventing illnesses and treating acute problems. These facilities include physicians’ offices, clinics, and diagnostic centers. 2 This is incorrect. Ambulatory care facilities provide outpatient care. Clients live at home or in nonhospital settings and come to the site for care. Ambulatory care facilities include private health and medical offices, clinics, surgery centers, and outpatient therapy centers. 3 This is incorrect. Extended care facilities typically provide long-term care, rehabilitation, wound care, and ongoing monitoring of patient conditions. 4 This is correct. Assisted living facilities are intended for those who are able to perform self-care activities but require assistance with meals, housekeeping, or medications. PTS: 1 CON: Patient -Centered Care
