Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

Pavalko listed eight categories as criteria to determine whether an occupation is a profession. Those eight categories are: 1. work is based on a systematic body of theory and abstract knowledge; 2. work has social value; 3. work is a service to the public; 4. education is required for specialization; 5. Autonomy; 6. commitment to the profession; 7. group identity and subculture; and 8. a code of ethics.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The average age of RNs has increased. In 2000, the average age of RNs was 45.2 years; in 2013, the average age of RNs had increased to 50 years. There is no information in the text regarding age as it applies to gender.
