Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Professionalism refers to professional character, spirit, or methods. It is a set of attributes and a way of life that implies responsibility and commitment. Florence Nightingale influenced nursing professionalism a great deal, but simply learning about her influence does not constitute professionalism because professionalism refers to a way of life. Professionalization is the process of becoming professional, which is acquiring characteristics considered to be professional and upholding the standards of a profession.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The case manager oversees the care of a specific caseload or may act as the primary nurse to provide some level of direct care to the client and family. Responsibilities may vary from managing acute hospitalizations to managing high-cost clients or case types. Delegating activities to other nurses and evaluating the performance of ancillary workers are responsibilities of the nurse manager. Identifying areas of researchable problems would fall to the research consumer.
