Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, D

The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including BSN, LPN, and LVN programs. Medical Assisting and Dental Assisting programs would not be eligible for NLN accreditation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D, E

The nurse's specific job description will contribute to defining the standard of care. Employers can limit but not expand the scope of practice and the nurse will be held to functioning within the scope of employment. Agency policies and procedures serve in defining the standard of care. A primary source for defining the standard of care is the prevailing national nursing standards. Nurses who follow national standards of practice and standards of care will provide their clients with the best care possible and be far less likely to commit any unintentional act that may rise to the level of malpractice. A competent nurse will adhere to the steps of the nursing process. In addition to the steps of the nursing process, nurses are expected to demonstrate competence within multiple areas of their professional role, including collaboration with the entire care team.
