CHAPTER 4

Question 1In 1990, Cooper and Sparacino postulate than an APRN’s maximum potential may not be attained until: After 1 year After 3 years After 5 years After 7 years Question 2An NP student is performing a thorough neurologic examination for the first time in the clinical setting. This is an example of: Role conflict Role acquisition Role confusion Role implementation Question 3The changes occurring as an APRN performs procedures during job duties are classified as? Role transition Role acquisition Role supplementation Role implementation

Question 4Which of the following is best classified as roll stress?

Multiple failed attempts to master a procedure during education Maintaining family responsibilities while in school Starting a first job as an NP An APN’s feelings of poor self-esteem

Question 5Which of the following is best classified as role strain?

An APN’s feelings of poor self-esteem after failing two examinations Maintaining family responsibilities while in school Starting a first job as an NP A difficult disagreement with a physician

Question 6Which of the following is an example of role conflict?

Difficult work-life balance Maintaining family responsibilities while in school Starting a first job as an NP A difficult disagreement with a physician Question 7The four-stage process to NP role development first identified by Anderson, Leonard, and Yates (1974) and validated by Roberts et al. (1997) included which four components? Finding a niche, coping with pressures, feeling competent, internalizing the role Novice, developing competence, competent, advanced Complete dependence, developing competence, independence, interdependence Developing competence, partial independence, complete independence, interdependence Dependence, independence, interdependence, role model Question 8Which of the following is the best strategy for transition of an APRN into a new position? Ensuring adequate pre-position training Development of a structured orientation plan Scheduling time-based evaluations Providing immediate feedback from supervisors Question 9In 2010, researchers Sullivan-Bentz et al. used Brown and Olshansky’s four-stage transition model to study recent NP graduates as they undergo role transition to practicing NPs. What did the study demonstrate? New NPs transitioned from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident in 6 months New NPs transitioned from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident in 1 year New NPs transitioned from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident in 6 months only with support networks New NPs transitioned from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident in 1 year only with support networks New NPs did not transition from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident in the study Question 10A questionnaire study conducted by Hart and Macnee (2007) at two national NP conferences found that 51% of NPs perceived that they were only somewhat or minimally prepared for actual practice. Which of the following would most likely facilitate the role transition issues for a beginning NP? Additional time requirement as a practicing registered nurse Additional NP clinical training hours Longer NP education program Clinical NP residency program
