directions and goals
Students (nurses) must achieve the competency
outcomes that develop the skills actually needed in
practice
Competence in realistic, practice-based outcomes is
the target

make decisions, and be competent and confident in
the abilities contained in course outcomes

9. Consumer-oriented care: engagement, safety, and
privacy

supported the need to insist on competency-based
performance examinations in schools of nursing and as part of
employer evaluations and accreditation
Ethics and bioethical concerns
Different ways of responding to illness, care providers, and
therapies raise ethical issues of who is right and who has the
right to prevail

13. 1. A nurse is preparing to talk at a community meeting about
current trends that affect nursing and nursing education. Which
of the following should be included in this discussion?
A. Citizens are living longer, resulting in a shift in nursing practice
from community-based care to the acute care setting.
B. As our population is becoming more diverse in ethnicity, sexual
preference, and how family is defined, ethical decisions are less
clear because the values and preferences of the individual who
is seeking care must be taken into consideration.
C. Fewer individuals are choosing and entering nursing, which is
causing a near-crisis situation in terms of the nursing shortage.
D. The focus of caring for individuals suffering from domestic
violence continues to decrease, with an increase in the need to
be competent in biochemical containments in the event of
terrorist acts.

14. Licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational
nurse (LPN/LVN) programs

state

15. Hospital diploma programs
Linda Richards: the first nursing diploma graduate in
1873; began the movement of nurses teaching and
supervising nurses rather than those functions being
the exclusive domain of physicians
Length of program was 1 to 2 years in the late 1800s
but subsequently changed to 3 calendar years of
practice and study

16. All classes/experiences were under the authority of the
funding hospital
Operated as apprenticeship programs to meet staffing
needs of the hospital until more recent times when
education took a more primary role
Number has drastically declined because of changes in
the marketplace and a new concept of nursing education
As programs are phasing out, some have partnered with
community colleges to provide an associate degree, and
some have become college programs
In 2012, only 64 diploma programs remained in the U.S.
• Only 78% are accredited programs

environment

of liberal arts and sciences
Today largest percentage of nurses are ADN
graduates

18. Baccalaureate degree programs
First nursing program in a collegiate setting opened in 1909 at
University of Minnesota as a diploma school under the College
of Medicine; completion did not result in a college degree
In 1924 Yale University had first separate department of nursing
and offered the first BSN degree
BSN programs were developed on the premise that nurses could
provide more comprehensive and compassionate care if they
had a foundation in the arts and sciences
BSNs require 2 years of arts and sciences and 2 years of
nursing courses and completion of 126 to 136 credits
In 2008 about 610 generic, and 621 RN-BSN programs were
available
In 2011 there were and 235 accelerated programs and 33 in
planning stage

19. Master’s degree nursing programs
Developed because of increasing complexity of health care and
need for nurse educators, administrators, expert clinicians
National and federal recognition of the shortage of master’s- and
doctorate-prepared nurses led to increased funding for programs
and individual students
• Health Amendment Act of 1956 provided education funds for RNs to
prepare for positions in teaching, supervision, and administration
• Nurse Practice Act of 1964 provided construction costs for nursing
school buildings and funds for traineeships and fellowships for
nurses to obtain advanced degrees for positions in education,
administration, practice, and research
• Most MSN programs prepare advanced nurse practitioners and
clinical specialists

23. Doctoral degree programs
Undergone major changes during the past 4 decades
For many years the only program was offered by
Teachers College, Columbia University; the first nurse
graduated in 1932 with an EdD degree in nursing
education
More than 30 years elapsed before doctoral programs
in the discipline of nursing were offered, resulting in
the doctor of nursing science degree (DNS, DNSc)
By the 1990s the number of universities offering the
EdD degree declined and the number of nursing
doctoral degree programs increased to more than 50

interested in advanced clinical nursing practice and
clinical leadership
As of 2012 there were 184 programs in 40 states
– 65 accredited programs and 110 programs pursuing
accreditation
AACN position statement—by 2015 DNP should be the
entry into advanced practice nursing

26. 2. An RN received a diploma as entry into
professional nursing. The RN was able to
progress to an academic degree by completing
an RN-to-BSN program. This progression from
diploma preparation to an academic degree is
known as:
A. Performance-based assessment
B. Educational mobility
C. Practice-based competency
D. Continuing education

single school

Editor's Notes ANS: B
Rationale: B is correct because we have an increasing multicultural, multiethnic population, whose values are very different and must be considered when care is planned, implemented, and delivered. A is incorrect because as the population ages and chronic illness become more common, care will be delivered in the community setting. C is incorrect because applicants to nursing schools have increased; however, the shortage and aging of nursing faculty have limited the acceptance of applicants into programs. D is incorrect because nurses continue to care for an increasing number of victims of domestic violence and must also be competent to provide care in the event of a terrorist attack.
Level of Difficulty: Application
ANS: B
Rationale: B is correct because educational mobility is the progressive advancement from one type or level of education to another, as in the instance of moving from a diploma program to a bachelor’s degree program. A is incorrect because performance-based assessment consists of evaluation of the performance of skills or tasks rather than the assessment of level of knowledge. C is incorrect because practice-based competencies, which are learning experiences that are focused on core practice competency outcomes, may be incorporated into the curriculum for RNs, with a diploma progressing toward a bachelor’s degree, but it is only one component of the degree. D is incorrect because continuing education is a method by which RNs can remain current and competent in today’s dynamic health care environment, but participants are not awarded college credit.
Level of Difficulty: Comprehension
