2)
There are constant changes in healthcare and the activities of nurses.
3)
There is disagreement among the different nursing organizations.
4)
There are different education pathways and levels of practice. - -ANS: 2
The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a
definition; they may also make it more difficult, but not to the extent that
constant change does. Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come
changes in where, how, and what nursing care is delivered. Constant
changes make it difficult to develop a definition. Although different nursing
organizations have different definitions, they are similar in most ways. The
different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the definition of
nursing.

healthcare policy. Which of the following factors contributes most to nurses

3)
Nurses have achieved some independence from physicians in recent years.
4)
Political involvement has helped refute negative images portrayed in the
media. - -ANS: 1
Nurses are trusted professionals and the largest health professional group.
As such, they have political power to effect changes. If nursing were a small
group, there would be little potential for power in shaping policies, even if all
the other answers were true. Serving the public, while positive, does not
necessarily help nurses to be influential in establishing health policy.
Independence from physicians, although positive, does not necessarily make
nurses influential in establishing healthcare policy. Refuting negative media,
although positive, does not necessarily make nurses influential in
establishing healthcare policy.

2)
Evaluate the degree of role satisfaction
3)
Dispel the stereotypical images of nurses and nursing
4)
Differentiate nursing activities from those of other health professionals - -
ANS: 4
Nursing organization leaders think it is important to develop a definition of
nursing to bring value and understanding to the profession, differentiate
nursing activities from those of other health professionals, and help student
nurses understand what is expected of them. A definition of nursing would
not be likely to increase the number of informed people recruited into
nursing. A definition of nursing would do little to improve the nurses role
satisfaction. Although a definition of nursing might contribute to fighting
stereotypes of nursing, other, more powerful influences (e.g., media
portrayals) exist to counteract it.
