LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a profession?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A profession, like nursing, is characterized by altruism (serving others selflessly), autonomy (independent practice within scope), and formal education (structured training, e.g., degrees). Concern with quantity and earnings, however, prioritizes output and profit over service quality, clashing with nursing's ethos of patient-centered care. Professions emphasize expertise and ethics nurses aim for outcomes like recovery, not quotas. Altruism drives nurses to prioritize patient needs, autonomy allows clinical decisions (e.g., care plans), and education ensures competence. Quantity and earnings might describe business, not professions, where quality trumps volume. This misfit makes it the attribute least aligned with professional traits, distinguishing nursing's service orientation from commercial goals.
