Fundamentals of Nursing, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Which nurse most likely kept records on sanitation techniques and the effects on health?

Florence Nightingale
Mary Nutting
Clara Barton
Lillian Wald

ANS: A

Nightingale was the first practicing nurse epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses connected poor sanitation
with cholera and dysentery. Mary Nutting, Clara Barton, and Lillian Wald came after Nightingale, each
contributing to the nursing profession in her own way. Mary Nutting was instrumental in moving nursing
education into universities. Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. Lillian Wald helped open the
Henry Street Settlement.



The nurse prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcome. Which standard of
nursing practice is the nurse following?

Assessment
Diagnosis
Planning
Implementation

ANS: C

In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected
outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive data pertinent to the patient’s
health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the
diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the registered nurse implements (carries out) the identified
plan.

Fundamentals of Nursing, 9th Edition




An experienced medical-surgical nurse chooses to work in obstetrics. Which level of proficiency is
the nurse upon initial transition to the obstetrical floor?

Novice
Proficient
Competent
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.



A nurse assesses a patient’s fluid status and decides that the patient needs to drink more fluids. The
nurse then encourages the patient to drink more fluids. Which concept is the nurse demonstrating?

Licensure
Autonomy

Certification
Accountability

ANS: B

Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of independent 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 nurse may choose to work toward certification in a
specific area of nursing practice. Accountability means that you are responsible, professionally and legally,
for the type and quality of nursing care provided.
