Contemporary Nursing Issues, Trends, & Management 6th Edition by Barbara Cherry- Test Bank

Document Content and Description Below

A current trend is for students to be evaluated to determine whether they demonstrate competence in the actual client care environment or with a standardized patient. This process occurs in addition t... o or instead of traditional pencil-and-paper evaluations. This type of evaluation is referred to as: a. core practice competencies. b. continuing competence. c. distance learning. d. performance-based assessment. ANS: D Correct: Performance-based assessment is the evaluation of abilities based on an objective demonstration of specific required competencies. This may include performance in actual or simulated situations. Incorrect: 1. Core practice competencies consist of the abilities and skills currently required for program completion and nursing practice. 2. Continuing competence is required in many states for relicensure and recertification. 3. Distant learning occurs when courses are delivered through some electronic format such as a web-based course. The course may be presented a great distance from the student, who is never required to attend a class at a physical location. DIF: Knowledge REF: p. 43 2. One of the major trends that currently influences nursing education and practice is: a. increased technology in the field of critical care. b. a narrowing scope of practice for nurses. c. incivility or disregard of others’ rights in social interactions. d. a decrease in ethnicity due to international programs allowing students to study from a distance. ANS: C Correct: Incivility has escalated with the use of text-messaging during class and academic dishonesty. Incorrect: 1. Critical care is not the only area in which technology is increasing and does not have a major influence on nursing education. 2. The scope of practice is becoming broader, including community and global settings. 3. The number of diverse ethnic minorities and illegal immigrants is increasing. DIF: Application REF: p. 45 3. Although the use of technology and the Internet provides nursing faculty and students with unlimited resources and current information, an outcome associated with this trend is that: a. users of electronic resources spend a disproportionate amount of time looking for pertinent content. b. additional time is available to study and revise curricula because special skills are not needed to access information Internet.
