Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The Robert Wood Foundation funded 20 nationwide Colleagues in Caring (CIC) projects to facilitate a collaborative approach to nursing workforce development whose focus is providing seamless articulation between educational levels. The Pew Health Professions Commission developed a set of competencies needed by all health professional groups for successful practice in the 21st century. The Goldmark report and the Brown report were studies that supported the development of 2-year programs in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The CCNE accredits baccalaureate and graduate degree nursing programs. The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including LVN and LPN. Both of these offer voluntary accreditation. The NCLEX is the licensure examination administered by each state, and the NCSBN is the council to which all state boards of nursing belong.
