proficiency is the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?

a. Novice


b. Proficient


c. Competent
34
d. Advanced beginner


ANS: A

A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level
of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home
health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation
as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from
multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and
specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients).
This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-

,range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced
beginner. This experience may only

, be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects or
principles of nursing care.

17
a. Licensure


b. Autonomy

ANS: B

Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
34independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United
States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN®. Beyond the NCLEX-RN®, the

Accountability means that you are responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and
quality of nursing care provided.
