Chapter 11: Career Planning and Development in Nursing — Sample Questions

1. A nurse is currently in the “promise” phase of career development. What goal should the nurse prioritize during this stage?
   • a. Acting as a role model to recent graduates
   • b. Gaining exposure to a variety of experiences
   • c. Avoiding obsolescence
   • d. Graduating from nursing school

   Answer: B

   Feedback: The “promise” phase represents the nurse’s first decade in practice. Goals include building knowledge, skills, and a solid educational foundation while gaining exposure to diverse clinical experiences. Role modelling becomes more relevant later in a career. Obsolescence concerns increase during later stages, and the stage begins after graduation.

2. An experienced nurse-manager describes a recently hired nurse as “very promising.” The manager can best promote this nurse’s career development by:
   • a. Asking other nurses to model their behavior on the new nurse’s behavior.
   • b. Providing the nurse with increasingly challenging work assignments.
   • c. Removing the nurse from client care responsibilities and assigning management tasks.
   • d. Providing the nurse with positive feedback.

   Answer: B

   Feedback: Challenging assignments promote growth by expanding skills and knowledge. Assigning management-only tasks is premature. Labeling the new nurse as a role model may create stress and resentment. Positive feedback is supportive but not sufficient for career development.

3. A nurse-manager argues for establishing a formal career development program. What potential benefits should the manager describe? (Select all that apply.)
   • a. Employee attrition can be reduced.
   • b. Personnel can be used more effectively.
   • c. Employees can increase earning power.
   • d. Employment benefits are increased.
   • e. New skills are brought into the organization.

   Answer: A, B, E

   Feedback: Career development programs reduce turnover, increase productivity, and bring new skills into the organization. Although individuals may eventually increase earnings or benefits, these are not primary organizational reasons to establish such programs.
