Question 1

Unique aspects of a nurse practitioner (NP) preceptorship in an acute care setting include which consideration?

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

Explain the role of the clinical advisor in relationship to the nurse practitioner (NP) student and the preceptor.

Accepted Answer

Clinical advisors are either full-time faculty or adjunct faculty who are NPs that are responsible for overseeing the clinical experiences of up to six NP students. The clinical advisor is the link for the student and the preceptor, visiting the student onsite to determine that the student is progressing in a supportive learning environment, in addition to getting to know the preceptor. This role provides the student and preceptor with someone knowledgeable about the course objectives and someone who can troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Question 3

Despite excellent academic performance and favorable clinical evaluations, the nurse practitioner (NP) student thinks, "I feel like I am fooling everyone. My good grades and positive evaluations are based on luck." Which term best describes the NP student's perceptions?

Accepted Answer

The NP student's feeling of being an imposter despite good performance is known as the imposter phenomenon or imposter syndrome. This is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their own successes and feel like they are frauds who don't deserve their accomplishments. It is commonly seen in high-achieving individuals, such as students, who attribute their success to luck or external factors rather than their abilities.

Question 4

Which activity comprises a complementary form of clinical education?

Accepted Answer

Researching current information about a disease state is a complementary form of clinical education as it enhances a student's knowledge on a particular medical condition and helps in providing better care and treatment to the patient. It also helps in staying updated with the latest developments in healthcare. While evaluating the clinical site, performing a student self-evaluation, and documenting clinical hours are essential components of clinical education, they do not necessarily provide additional or complementary education.

Question 8

The cardiothoracic nurse practitioner (NP) is providing care to a patient who recently sustained a myocardial infarction (MI) and who may require surgical intervention. Which action by the NP best illustrates consultation?

Accepted Answer

Consultation involves seeking advice or direction from another healthcare provider with specialized knowledge or expertise. In this case, the NP is seeking direction on the patient's treatment plan for coronary artery disease, which falls under the domain of a cardiologist or cardiothoracic surgeon. Jointly communicating about ethical concerns (B), requesting ongoing treatment (C), and working with a healthcare professional to determine postoperative care (D) may also be part of collaborative care, but they do not necessarily involve consultation.
