Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5, 6
Rationale 1: Adaptive; client-centered; art; science; holistic; caring; concerned with health promotion, health maintenance, and health restoration; and a helping profession are themes that are common to many definitions formulated about nursing. In 1973, the American Nurses Association (ANA) described nursing practice as goal-oriented and adaptable to the needs of the individual, the family, and the community (not just the client). In 1980, the ANA's definition was changed to Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of the human responses to actual or potential health problems. Diagnosis and treatment of disease is a definition of the medical model.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The NLN is an organization of both individuals and agencies. Its objective is to foster the development and improvement of all nursing services and nursing education. People who are not nurses but have an interest in nursing services can be members of the league.
