Which Argument Best Supports the Idea of Nursing as a Professional

question 2

Multiple Choice

Which argument best supports the idea of nursing as a professional discipline rather than an academic discipline?

• A) "Nursing is an applied science. Its practice component places an emphasis on the delivery of service by nurses rather than the development of academic knowledge."
• B) "Nursing is a discipline with unique substance. It borrows very little from other disciplines and, as a result, is beyond the realm of most academic programs in the sciences that acknowledge idea sharing across disciplines."
• C) "Nursing is a concept with a lengthy unofficial history. Individuals have been providing nursing care to others since the Crusades, and this professional provision of services predates formal education in the field."
• D) "Nursing is a relative newcomer to advanced education. For many years, nurses were educated or trained only at a Bachelor's level, and advanced practice therefore has its roots in the profession itself rather than in academia."
