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:

2 A maximal level of wellness
m
3 Health maintenance and restoration
co

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
a
reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared
kt
for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
wellness.
n
Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she
ba
interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon
interpersonal interactions.

6. A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic renal failure. The nurse states, We will do
everything possible to return you to the optimum level of self-care possible. In coordinating an

1 Manager
w
2 Educator
3 Counselor
w
4 Communicator

The nurse, in caring for this client, will coordinate the activities of other members of the health
care team. This client may require the assistance of a nursing assistant to provide personal care

until the client is able to do so independently.
