What is one characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse

Ans: A

Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care,
nursing care must be culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural
differences. Team-focused nursing and strict adherence to routine are not
characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The ability to handle criticism is
important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
