Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Self-reflection is important in understanding self in relation to the professional role of a nurse. Although self-reflection is very important, it is neither a state nursing practice act requirement nor a part of the code of ethics for nurses. There are many ways to discover the student's suitability for nursing.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Strasen (1992) defines professional self-concept as the set of beliefs and images held to be true as a result of specific professional socialization. The other options reflect processes or outcomes that may be related to or the result of an individual nurse's self-concept, but do not define professional self-concept.
