Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: According to Patricia's Benner's theory of the concept of self, any nurse who is unfamiliar with both the patients and the tools required to provide patient care will be considered a novice and will remain so until those conditions change. Benner refers to the concept of self as a tool that the nurse must learn to use in order to gain more experience. While the other answer choices may indicate a nurse who lacks experience, these are not the definition of novice nurse according to Benner.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Martha Rogers stated that the student of psychiatric nursing will reflect on an endlessly evolving self. This evolution will occur while the nurse is participating in a therapeutic interpersonal relationship with the patient who lives with a psychiatric illness. The student will evaluate the patient's suffering, as it is both witnessed and reflected upon. Hildegard Peplau introduced the idea of the concept of self as a tool as important to the nurse as a stethoscope. Ida Jean Orlando stated that the nurse uses self as a reaction of perceptions, thoughts, and feelings in response to the patient's behavior. Patricia Benner also discussed nurse's using self as a tool to care for patients with mental illness.
