        Chapter 2 \u2013 The Evolution of Nursing Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Historically, nursing preparation was referred to as \u201ctraining,\u201d and many nurses
          educatedthrough the 1970s still use this term to refer to their education. Why is this
          terminology particularly problematic in light of the advances made in nursing science in
          the last 30 years?
          A. On-the-job apprenticeships are no longer as prevalent as they were up through
          the late1970s and early 1980s.
          B. It places emphasis on nurses\u2019 abilities to perform tasks rather than reason
          through andunderstand the purpose of their actions.
          C. Most modern nurses pursue Master\u2019s level education beyond their
          practice-basedBachelor\u2019s education.
          D. The last 30 years have seen nursing education move away from physician-taught
          coursesin hospitals to professor-taught courses at universities.
          Ans: B<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. During the 1960s, why did nursing scholars heavily emphasize a focus on the
          theoreticaldevelopment of nursing as its own, independent discipline?
          A. To support doctoral education for nurses that was discipline specific
          B. To prove that the logical positivist approach was a poor fit for the discipline
          C. To encourage and enhance the continued development of nursing science
          D. To promote research by nurses in all fields, not merely nursing science
          Ans: C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Which argument best supports the idea of nursing as a professional discipline
          rather thanan academic discipline?
          A. \u201cNursing is an applied science. Its practice component places an
          emphasis on thedelivery of service by nurses rather than the development of
          academic knowledge.\u201d
          B. \u201cNursing is a discipline with unique substance. It borrows very little from
          other disciplines and, as a result, is beyond the realm of most academic programs in
          the sciencesthat acknowledge idea sharing across disciplines.\u201d
          C. \u201cNursing is a concept with a lengthy unofficial history. Individuals have been
          providing nursing care to others since the Crusades, and this professional provision of
          services predatesformal education in the field.\u201d
          D. \u201cNursing is a relative newcomer to advanced education. For many years, nurses
          were educated or trained only at a Bachelor\u2019s level, and advanced practice therefore
          has its roots inthe profession itself rather than in academia.\u201d
