Answer to Question 1

C
The existence of multiple entry paths for nursing education is confusing both to the public and to aspiring nursing students, who may have difficulty understanding and comprehending the differences and what they mean.
Diploma programs have declined sharply in number, with only 47 programs remaining in the United States in 2013.
The ANA does not monitor different programs to evaluate congruency with BSN programs.
States are not creating different licensure examinations for graduates of different programs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Walking into an ED implies consent to treatment; since the patient walked in and then collapsed, it is safe to treat the patient under implied consent, which looks to the patient's action for consent.
The priority is caring for the patient. As this is being done, someone else can check the patient's wallet for identification and contact information, but the priority is the patient.
If the patient wakes up, or comes to, then the nurse should obtain consent. However, in this situation, patient care comes first, and the nurse should care for the patient immediately.
While the patient is being cared for, someone else can look for family or friends nearby, but the priority is caring for the patient.
