Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The IOM noted that each health profession tends to educate, practice, and dialogue
within a silo. These narrowly constructed walls make it difficult for interdisciplinary
collaboration to occur. The report does not focus on the relationship between medicine and
nursing, the trend toward managed care, or the lack of recognition of credentials.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The most definitive statements on the competencies needed by the newly licensed
practical nurse (PN) and the RN have been developed by the NCSBN based on its job analysis
studies, which serve as the basis for the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN.
