1	The first of Imogene King’s two theories was the interacting systems framework, designed to explain the organized wholes within which nurses are expected to function: society, groups, and individuals. This first theory led to the theory of goal attainment, which focuses on mutual goal setting between a nurse and patient, and the process for meeting the goals.
2	Betty Neuman’s systems model is based on general systems theory (a non-nursing theory) and reflects the nature of living organisms as open systems.

2	PN to ADN programs are offered at community and state colleges. Students are given credit for licensed practical nursing/licensed vocational nursing (LPN/LVN) education that counts toward requirements for RN education, making the time spent in school to become an RN shorter. This student is already an RN.
3	MSN degrees require 2 or more years in graduate school. Graduates may teach in BSN, ADN, and licensed practical nursing/licensed vocational nursing (LPN/LVN) programs and may also choose to specialize further as either a CNS, NP, CRNA, or CNM.

1	If you asked people on the street to choose one word to describe nurses, chances are great that the word you would hear most often is “caring.” Other descriptions might include “compassionate,” “comforting,” and “helpful.” The actions described in this
	question, however, refer to a nurse’s ability to be responsible.
2	Nursing is a unique field in which to work due to the amount of responsibility involved. A nurse is responsible for caring for several patients, tending to their medications and comfort, and seeing that their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met; helping families understand what is happening to a patient and preparing them for his or her care after discharge; and noticing changes in a patient’s condition and notifying the appropriate health-care professional if negative changes occur.
3	It is extremely important that a nurse is able to keep track of all of the information about his or her patients. A nurse also must deal with changing orders from the physician and meeting the changing needs of his or her patients. The only way to accomplish all of this for several patients during one shift is to be very organized. The actions described in this question, however, refer to a nurse’s ability to be responsible.

1	Now nurses use EBP as a problem-solving approach to delivering health care. This approach uses the best evidence from nursing research studies and patient care data, and considers the patient’s preferences and values. In other words, research is very important to determine what care is appropriate for certain situations, but making the care fit the patient’s preferences and values is just as important.
2	The interacting systems framework is designed to explain the organized wholes within which nurses are expected to function: society, groups, and individuals.
3	The QSEN project focuses on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) needed by nurses to continually improve the quality and safety of patient care.

                  34. ANS:  organized

It is extremely important that a nurse is able to keep track of all of the information about his or her patients. They also must deal with changing orders from the physician and meeting the changing needs of their patients. The only way to accomplish all of this for several patients during one shift is to be very organized.
