What This Document Is
This document is a test bank designed to accompany the 7th Edition of Potter & Perry’s *Fundamentals of Nursing* textbook, specifically focusing on the chapter concerning Ethics and Values in nursing practice. It consists of multiple-choice questions intended for self-assessment and exam preparation. The questions are formatted similarly to those found on the NCLEX® exam.
Why This Document Matters
This test bank is a valuable resource for nursing students enrolled in a Fundamentals of Nursing course (like NRS 130 at Long Island University). It helps students evaluate their understanding of ethical principles, value systems, and how these concepts apply to real-world nursing scenarios. It’s most effectively used *after* studying the corresponding chapter in the textbook, as a way to reinforce learning and identify areas needing further review. Instructors also use test banks to create quizzes and exams.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This test bank does *not* provide comprehensive explanations of ethical theories or nursing values. It assumes prior knowledge from the textbook and lectures. It also doesn’t offer personalized feedback on incorrect answers – it simply provides the correct answer and a brief rationale. It is a tool for *testing* knowledge, not *teaching* it.

* Multiple-choice questions covering key concepts from the Ethics and Values chapter.
