Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The qualities listed are those of a professional nurse. The other options are all nurses who may have these qualities, but the focus of their title includes qualities not essential for the professional nurse. The administrator would have management qualities; the clinical nurse specialist would have specialty area knowledge; and the practitioner would meet legal requirements as a health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Professional nurses teach, advocate, assess, and nurture. The IOM recommends that 80 of nurses have a minimum baccalaureate degree (not graduate degree) by 2020. Physicians diagnose and recommend treatments, and nurses provide the majority of these treatments. Lifelong learning is recommended, and some, not all, states require continuing education.
