Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Professional nursing practice is regulated by each state's Board of Nursing. The ANA is the professional organization of registered nursing in the United States and may influence, but it does not regulate. The IOM collaborated with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to improve the fractured health care system in the United States, and it makes recommendations, not rules. The state nursing associations are state organizations of the ANA and may collaborate with the public and boards of nursing to promote nursing rules which improve health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The highest incidence of traumatic brain injury occurs in Caucasian children aged birth to 1 year, and the abuse occurs most often from women.
