  a. ADN nurses lack the education in community health that other program graduates have.
  b. BSN nurses are educated to work independently and enter leadership roles.
  c. collegiate experiences in BSN programs ensure that graduates have a well-rounded education.
  d. diploma graduates are trained to function under the supervision of a BSN nurse.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

B
BSN programs include coursework in liberal arts, humanities, leadership, and management, enabling the BSN graduate to use sound critical thinking skills, to function independently as a generalist nurse, and to assume entry-level leadership roles.
Although ADN nurses do not usually have community health in their curricula, this is not the biggest difference among programs.
Associate degree programs are also offered in collegiate environments, including junior and community colleges and universities.
Diploma graduates were envisioned as complete bedside nurses. The ADN nurse is a technical nurse trained to function under direct BSN supervision.

Answer to Question 2

A
For Nightingale, the goal of nursing was to manipulate the environment in order to promote the reparative process. The key environmental elements to be manipulated include fresh air, pure water, warmth, cleanliness, an appropriate diet, and quiet. A good nurse never allowed the patient to be awakened from sleep.
Helping with ADLs would be more appropriate for Orem's self-care deficit theory.
Encouraging independence would be appropriate for Virginia Henderson's complementary supplemental model, in which the goal of nursing is to assist the patient to become as independent as possible.
Installation of faith-hope is a carative factor found in Jean Watson's theory of caring.
