b. It has a service orientation.
c. Practice is in a single recognized setting.

e. Skills can be learned in a variety of settings, including through job training.
ANSWER: A, B, D
Feedback
Correct Based on a body of knowledge that can be learned, has a service
orientation, and professionals control their own practice are correct
as these characteristics were identified by Flexner, Hall, and
others.
Incorrect Professionals control their own practice is incorrect because a
profession is not always practiced in a single setting. For example,
nursing may be practiced in organized health settings, as well as in
the home and community. The education and skills needed to learn a
profession come from an institution of higher education.

ANSWER: A, C, E
Feedback
Correct Assisting nurse researcher with data collection related to measuring
stress levels in hospitalized children; participating in weekly patient
care conferences with physicians, social workers, and other
therapists; and serving as a preceptor to a nurse completing a
refresher course to reactivate her nursing license are correct because
these actions demonstrate collegiality by sharing with, supporting,
assisting, and counseling other nurses and health care providers.
Incorrect Reporting a nursing assistant to the nurse manager when heart rate
was not recorded in a patient is incorrect because this is not a
supportive activity as everyone can make a mistake and needs to be
given the opportunity to correct this behavior. Sharing with another
nurse that you heard the nurse manager is dating the new physical
therapist on the unit is incorrect because participating in gossip and
rumors does not support others.
