A nursing faculty would determine that a student was developing a strong sense of professional identity when the student takes which action?
a. Writes a paper describing nursing as being available to help patients and physicians
b. Establishes a discussion group to debate interdisciplinary care activities
c. Starts a letter writing campaign to boycott products advertised by "sexy nurses"
d. Volunteers to serve the community at a free flu shot clinic for the uninsured
C
Nurses who have a strong sense of professional identity work to change perceptions that nurses and non-nurses carry about the profession. Starting a letter writing boycott campaign to protest the use of a negative stereotype of nurses to sell a product is an excellent example of this in action. Although nurses do assist in many different ways, a nurse with a strong professional identity will advocate for a more equitable role for nurses in health care. Establishing a discussion group does not reveal what the nursing student feels about interdisciplinary care and the role of nursing in these activities. Volunteering is a respected and desired activity, but it does not strongly suggest the student's view of his or her professional identity.
