Were required to use critical thinking skills.

Focused solely on healing the very ill.

In 1893, nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement were some of the first to demonstrate autonomy in practice because they encountered situations that required quick and innovative problem solving and critical thinking, and provided therapies aimed at maintaining wellness, as well as curing the ill. Nursing hospitals expanded in the late nineteenth century and were major providers of nursing care. Not until the early twentieth century was there a movement toward a scientific, research-based body of nursing knowledge.

9. The nurse is caring for the patient who has had major abdominal surgery and also has a large sacral pressure sore. The nurse implements coughing and deep breathing exercises and consults the wound care specialist to evaluate and prescribe care for the pressure sore, even though no physician order has provided instructions to do so. In doing this, the nurse is implementing the element of

a.

Autonomy.

b.

Accountability.

c.

Advanced practice.

d.

Nurse practitioner.

ANS: A

Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing. Some independent nursing interventions such as implementing coughing and deep breathing exercises and collaboration with other health professionals can be initiated without medical orders. Accountability means that the nurse is responsible, professionally and legally, for the type and quality of nursing care provided. “Advanced practice nurse” is an umbrella term for advanced clinical nurses such as nurse practitioners who provide care to a group of patients.

10. The physician is planning to take the patient to surgery in the morning and leaves an order for the nurse to get the patient to sign the surgical permit. The physician’s note indicates that the patient has been educated on the procedure. However, the patient tells the nurse, “I have no idea what he’s going to do. He rushed in and rushed out so fast, I couldn’t ask any questions.” The nurse does not allow the patient to sign the permit and calls the physician to inform him of the patient’s statement. This is an example of the nurse acting as

a.

Patient advocate.

b.

Patient educator.

c.

Manager.

d.

Clinical nurse specialist.

ANS: A

As a patient advocate, the nurse protects the patient’s human and legal rights, including the right of the patient to understand procedures before signing permits. Although nurses can be educators, it is the responsibility of the surgeon to provide education for the patient in preparation for surgery, and it is the nurse’s responsibility to notify the physician if the patient is not properly educated. Managers coordinate the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care, and clinical nurse specialists are experts in a specialized area of nursing practice in a variety of settings.
