Which core value refers to the conversion of knowledge and ideas into meaningful work through creativity, entrepreneurship, and pushing beyond the boundaries of status quo?

• A. Stewardship
• B. Caring
• C. Nursing Innovation
• D. Respect

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is turning knowledge and ideas into tangible improvements in practice through creative thinking and entrepreneurial action, pushing beyond the usual ways of doing things.

Nursing Innovation fits this description because it centers on applying new ideas to actual practice—developing new methods, tools, or processes to improve patient care. It involves creativity, a willingness to experiment, and taking steps to push beyond the status quo to achieve better outcomes.

Other values emphasize different foundations: stewardship focuses on responsible resource use, caring on empathic relationships, and respect on honoring autonomy and dignity. While essential, they don’t specifically embody the transformation of knowledge into new, practical work through innovation.
