Question

a nurse is providing an in-service to a group of newly licensed nurses about the definition of nursing developed by the american nurses association (ana).
which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching? (select all that apply.)
□ assists a nurse with ethical decision making
☑ advocates for the care of the client
☑ uses the nursing process to facilitate client care
☑ avoids illness and injuries through health promotion
□ provides laws and regulations to follow to practice nursing
☑ protects and promotes clients health

Explanation:

The ANA's definition of nursing emphasizes client advocacy, use of the nursing process, health promotion/illness injury prevention, and protecting/promoting client health. Ethical decision-making support is not a core part of this definition, and nurses follow (not provide) laws/regulations.

Answer:

• ✅ Advocates for the care of the client
• ✅ Uses the nursing process to facilitate client care
• ✅ Avoids illness and injuries through health promotion
• ✅ Protects and promotes client's health
