Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The social worker explores needs identified by discharge plans and works with community agencies to meet these patient needs.

Answer to Question 2

The nurse practitioner has a minimum of a master's degree in nursing and certification in an area of specialization, such as primary care, geriatrics, pediatrics, and so on. The other options do not accurately describe the nurse practitioner's education or role.
