Chapter 1. Nursing Today MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories.
Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:
1 Psychological needs
2 A maximal level of wellness
3 Health maintenance and restoration
4 Interpersonal interactions with the client
ANS: 3
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in order
to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients, it is
not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative
processes by manipulating the clients environment.
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared for in
a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of wellness.

Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted with

factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
1 Massachusetts Nurse Practice Act
2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital
4 Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in Massachusetts
ANS: 1
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice Act that
regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act is
