Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
A requirement for entry to practice is having a good moral character.
A requirement for entry to practice is graduation from an approved nursing program.
A requirement for entry to practice is passing the standardized licensure examination.
The applicant need not have a specified grade point average.

Answer to Question 2

A
The clinical practice doctorate in nursing is the DNP. This degree would prepare the nurse to translate and apply knowledge to the clinical setting rather than be responsible for generating new knowledge.
The DNSc (or DNS) degree is a research-focused degree culminating in preparing and defending the student's dissertation.
The PhD is another degree awarded to nurses completing a research-focused doctoral level program. The holder of this degree must also prepare and defend a dissertation based on original research.
The ND degree, originally intended for research utilization, has lost favor, with only four schools granting it in 2004 . With the advent of the DNP program, ND programs made the transition to the DNP model.
