Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The National League for Nursing (NLN) is the professional nursing organization concerned with nursing education. The NLN provides accreditation to nursing programs that seek and meet the NLN accreditation requirements.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) is concerned with the nursing profession and issues affecting health care, including standards of care.
The Congress for Nursing Practice is the part of the ANA concerned with determining the legal aspects of nursing practice, the public recognition of the importance of nursing, and the impact of trends in health care on nursing practice.
The International Council of Nurses (ICN) is concerned about issues of health care and the nurs-ing profession, including the provision of an international power base for nurses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
A master's degree is nursing is required to become a nurse practitioner.
Diploma programs in nursing require 3 years of education after which the graduate may become a registered nurse, but not a nurse practitioner.
Doctoral programs focus on the application of research findings to clinical practice. The doctoral degree is beyond the master's degree.
The baccalaureate degree program generally requires 4 years of study in a college or university, after which the graduate may become a registered nurse, not a nurse practitioner.
