The nursing process ensures that nurses are B
person centered rather than task centered.
Rather than simply approaching a patient to
take vital signs, the nurse thinks, "How is Mrs.
Barclay today? Are our nursing actions
helping her to achieve her goals? How can
we better help her?" The demonstrates
which characteristic of the nursing process?


A. Systematic
B. Interpersonal
C. Dynamic
D. Universally applicable in nursing situations

An experienced nurse tells a beginning A
nurse not to bother studying too hard, since
most clinical reasoning becomes "second
nature" and "intuitive" once you start
practicing. What thinking below should
underlie the beginning nurse's response?


A. Intuitive problem solving comes with
years of practice and observation, and
novice nurses should base their care on
scientific problem solving


B. For nursing to remain a science, nurses
must continue to be vigilant about stamping
out intuitive reasoning


C. The emphasis on logical, scientific,
evidence- based reasoning has held nursing
back for years; it's time to champion intuitive,
creating thinking


D. It's simply a matter of preference; some
nurses are logical, scientific thinkers, and
some are intuitive, creative thinkers
