MULTIPLE CHOICE

 

  1. ANS:  3

Paradigm refers to a model, theory, assumption, or a frame of reference. Generally, it means the way a person “sees” the world; this does not refer to a person’s visual sight, but a person’s mental perception.

  1. ANS:  2

The use of LPNs in more management positions is a paradigm shift. A shifting paradigm is a break with older ways of thinking. This shift changes the world of those who experience it, and it is the source of attitudes and behaviors.

  1. ANS:  2

The LPN must have the tools to identify paradigm strategies. One tool is critical thinking, which allows the nurse to identify existing paradigms and to devise strategies needed to shift paradigms. Critical thinking also allows the nurse to be open to alternative ways of thinking and to be wary of “quick-fix” solutions.

  1. ANS:  3

Respect is the nurse’s perspective of how care should be delivered, so this describes the nurse’s paradigm.
