Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4, 2, 8, 1, 6, 7, 10, 5, 9, 3

The ANA standards of practice, which differentiate between the competencies of the RN and the advanced practice nurse (APN), can be used to determine roles and responsibilities. The ANA standards of practice include assessment, diagnosis, outcomes identification, planning, implementation, coordination of care, health teaching and health promotion, consultation (APN only), prescriptive authority and treatment (APN only), and evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

A middle-level manager supervises first-level managers within a specific area, and is responsible for the personnel and work activities within those areas. The middle-level manager usually functions as a liaison between first-level and top-level managers. The first-level manager is responsible for supervising non-administrative personnel in the conduct of day-to-day activities on specific work units. A top-level or upper-level manager is primarily responsible for establishing the goals and strategic plans for the entire nursing division. Middle-level managers generally report to the upper-level manager. Various titles are given to upper-level nurse-managers. Examples are director of nursing services, chief nursing officer, or vice president for nursing services. Laissez-faire is not nursing position but rather an approach to management.
