medications (except narcotics) and treats health problems within the scope of nursing
practice?
a. Clinical nurse specialist
b. Registered nurse
c. Nurse clinician
d. Nurse practitioner
ANS: D
A nurse practitioner may prescribe medications, with certain exclusions, and treat health
problems within the scope of nursing practice.
A clinical nurse specialist is an advanced practice nurse with preparation in a specialized
area of nursing practice. He or she may specialize in a specific disease, such as cancer or
AIDS, or in a specific field, such as oncology or gerontology.
Prescribing medications is not within the scope of practice of a registered nurse.
A nurse clinician is a nurse who provides direct client care.

implement changes to his or her practice. This is an indicator of which standard of
professional practice?
a. Knowledge
b. Application of knowledge
c. Continuing competence
d. Professional service to the public
ANS: C
A growing number of professional associations are developing continuing competence
programs in which nurses have to provide evidence of taking steps to update their
knowledge and skill levels.
Knowledge is not an indicator of knowledge.
Application of knowledge is not an indicator of application of knowledge.
Professional service to the public is not an indicator of professional service to the public.
Nursing associations such as the RNAO exist in each province and territory, and are the
voice of registered nurses in those regions. They are the official representatives of the
nursing profession, and aim to increase public understanding of nursing and its impact on
the health of individuals, families, and communities. Nursing associations lobby the
provincial government.
5. The nurse moves from one province to another to begin working in a new hospital. What
is the most important factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another province?
a. The standards for nursing practice in that province
b. The nursing regulatory body of that province
c. The Canadian Nurses Association’s licensing standards
d. Knowledge of the RNAO’s Nursing Best Practice Guidelines
ANS: B
Although most provinces have similar standards for nursing practice, each individual
province has its own regulatory body.
Standards of nursing practice are specific not to a province, but rather to the profession
itself.
The Canadian Nurses Association is not responsible for licensure.
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to maintain current nursing
skills, knowledge, and theory through continuing education offerings.

and Mission Statement?

professionals in order to meet the client’s needs.
c. The Canadian Nurses Association is the national professional voice of registered
nurses.
d. Powerful leadership is fostered through collaboration with other health care
professionals.
ANS: C
The Canadian Nurses Association is the national professional voice of registered nurses,
supporting them in their practice and advocating for public health policy and a quality,
publicly funded, not-for-profit health care system.
Nursing services form the core of the health care delivery system. This is not part of the
CNA’s Vision and Mission Statement.
As independent professionals, registered nurses practice autonomously but also bring
their expertise to interdisciplinary teams. This is not part of the CNA’s Vision and
Mission Statement.
Powerful leadership is fostered through advanced practice, certification, and
baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral nursing programs. This is not part of the CNA’s
Vision and Mission Statement.
