NURSING /NUR 2162 complete test bank Chapter 7 or 4: The Education of Nurses: On the Leading Edge of Transformation(complete questions and answers) Chapter 7: The Education of Nurses: On the Leading... Edge of Transformation Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE In 1900, the primary reason for hospital-based nursing education programs was to educate nurses to care for patients in hospitals. provide educational opportunities for women. staff the hospitals that operated the education programs. provide standardized preparation for nurses. ANS: C Feedback Most nurses worked in homes and very few worked in hospitals. The education for women was not a value of society at the time. In the hospitals there were few paid staff nurses, and most of the care was provided by the nursing students. The programs of study varied in length, and each school set its standards and requirements. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 131 Which of the following nursing leaders is credited with being one of the earliest nursing educators in the world? Isabel Hampton Robb Mary Adelaide Nutting Melinda Anne Richards Annie W. Goodrich ANS: B Feedback Robb studied nursing education. Mary Adelaide Nutting was a professor at Teachers College in 1907, and she was also the first nursing professor. Richards was the first trained nurse educated in the United States. Goodrich became the first dean of the Yale School of Nursing in 1924. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 133 The Goldmark Report focused on what aspect of nursing? Consistency in length of nursing education programs Consistency in theory content across diploma programs Desirability of establishing schools of nursing within academic settings Increasing numbers of physicians teaching in nursing programs ANS: C Feedback Consistency in length of programs was not an issue. Content was not the issue. The Goldmark Report focused on clinical learning experiences of students, hospital control of schools of nursing, desirability of establishing schools of nursing in universities, lack of funding for nursing education, and lack of qualified faculty. Nursing curriculum with instruction by physicians was not encouraged. Harvard Teachers College Columbia Yale ANS: D Feedback Harvard was not the first American university to open a nursing school as its own department. Teachers College was not the first American university to open a nursing school as its own department. Columbia was not the first American university to open a nursing school as its own department. In 1924, Yale University was the first American university to open a school of nursing as its own department. Nursing students should be trained on the job. Nursing students should be used to staff hospitals on the weekends. Nurses should be highly educated. Nurses with highly developed instincts do not require standards of practice. ANS: C Feedback Nurses should be highly educated in a university setting. Students should not be used to staff hospitals. The study made five recommendations: nursing education should be established within higher education; nurses should be highly educated; students should not be used to staff hospitals; standards of practice should be established; and students should meet minimal qualifications for graduation. Standards of practice should be established. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 134 The earliest type of formal nursing education program was the diploma program. associate degree program. bachelor’s degree program. grandfathered acceptance as registered nurse (RN). ANS: A Feedback Diploma programs of nursing began in the late 1800s and were the earliest form of nursing education. Associate nursing degree programs began in 1952. Bachelor’s degree programs began in 1909 but became commonplace only in the mid- C 1900s. D Nurses are not grandfathered into licensure. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 134 The single most important reason for the decline in the number of hospital-based diploma programs was shift in hospital occupancy from acute care to home care. increase in hospital-based medical residency programs competing for educational dollars. beginning of associate degree programs that were shorter in length. diploma education’s position outside the mainstream of higher education. ANS: D Feedback The increase in complexity of health care led to the need for more advanced educational preparation for nurses. Although it became more difficult for hospitals to fund diploma programs, this was not the most important reason for their decline. The advent of associate degree programs led to the decline in diploma programs, because associate degree programs are located in academic settings. The movement of nursing education into the educational mainstream, that is, colleges and universities, was responsible for the rapid decrease in diploma programs. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 135 Which of the following is a primary reason for the initial slow growth of bachelor’s degree nursing programs in the United States? Belief that hands-on training received in hospital-based diploma programs was superior to the theoretical-focused content in bachelor’s degree programs Belief that hospital-based diploma programs were more scientifically based Belief that students prepared in hospital-based diploma programs were more compassionate caregivers Belief that hospital-based education programs facilitated career mobility ANS: A Feedback There was a great deal of acceptance of the hands-on teaching received in diploma programs. Bachelor’s degree programs are more theoretically focused. There is no difference in perception of caring between the programs. Bachelor’s degree education facilitates career mobility. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 135 The 1948 Brown Report recommended which of the following? Students admitted to nursing programs should not be required to meet admission requirements of the university. Schools of nursing should be associated with teaching hospitals. Schools of nursing should be located in institutions of higher learning. ANS: D Feedback The Brown Report recommended that more men and minorities be recruited into nursing. The Brown Report recommendations did not address admission requirements of universities. The Brown Report recommended moving nursing education into academic settings. The Brown Report recommended that schools of nursing be moved to institutions of higher learning. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 135 Which of the following is true about bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN) education? It is recommended by professional organizations as preparation for entry into practice. It requires 3 years to complete. Faculty are not given full faculty status in the university. ANS: B Feedback Faculty in BSN programs have master’s or doctorate degrees. Many nursing organizations have advocated for the BSN as the beginning educational preparation for the profession of nursing. The BSN degree requires 4 years to complete. Faculty in nursing now have full faculty status. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 136 Which recommendation made by the 1965 American Nurses Association (ANA) position paper and other position papers of national nursing organizations is still an issue today? Minimum preparation for professional nursing practice should be the BSN degree. Minimum preparation for technical nursing practice should be the licensed practical/vocation nurse (LPN/LVN) diploma. Education for nursing must be evidence-based. ANS: B Feedback The ANA position paper advocated for education in colleges and universities. The issue of minimum educational requirement for entry into practice is not likely to change until there are safeguards in place that ensure that all nurses currently in practice continue to feel that they are valued members of the profession. This provision continues to be controversial today. The technical level of nursing was supported in community and junior colleges. There is little evidence to support traditional educational methods used in nursing education. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 136 Which type of basic nursing education program graduates the largest number of RNs in the United States today? Associate degree programs BSN programs Nurse practitioner programs ANS: B Feedback Diploma programs are on the decline in enrollment and number of programs operating. Associate degree programs graduate the most nurses today. BSN program enrollments have increased but are still lower than associate degree program enrollments. Nurse practitioner programs are advanced practice master’s-level programs. The question refers to basic RN preparation. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 137 Who is credited with developing the model of associate degree nursing education? Mildred Montag National League for Nursing ANS: C Feedback Esther Lucille Brown wrote the Brown Report. Annie W. Goodrich was the first dean of nursing. Mildred Montag developed a model of associate degree nursing. The National League for Nursing did not develop the model of associate degree nursing. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 139 What is the purpose of articulated models or systems for nursing education? Increasing curriculum similarities in nursing programs d. Facilitating opportunities for nurses to move up the educational ladder with ease [Show More]
