A new graduate wishes to select a program in nursing that will assist in preparation to care for individuals, families, groups, and communities. The new graduate should select a(n)
a. practical nursing school. c. associate degree program.
b. diploma program in nursing. d. baccalaureate pro-gram.
D
The graduate of a baccalaureate program is prepared to provide health promotion and health res-toration care for individuals, families, and groups in a variety of institutional and community set-tings. The practical nurse would not be prepared to care for varying individuals in different set-tings. The diploma programs educate nurses in the hospital setting, with the end result being that the nurse will continue to work in the hospital upon graduation. Associate prepared nurses gen-erally continue onto a higher degree upon graduation. These nurses are not as prepared as bacca-laureate nurses to care for the variety of individuals in different settings.
